    The idle, boozy time between one romantic relationship and the next turns out to be a sweet spot for a sitcom.

    Thanks to some happy casting, the show's not actually unwatchable.

    It squanders committed acting and funny lines by draping them over a suspect premise.

    I want it to be funny but it just isn't funny enough. It doesn't hold my interest.

    The only funny charecter is Bethe Lacke. The others weren't even given funny lines. Who knows maybe they could be funny if they had better writers. Can't believe this made it to tv.… Expand
