Maintaining this sort of rat-a-rat patter is no small feat, but the series gets off to such a promising start as to bode well for future installments. Moreover, the shifting pairings from episode to episode create a semi-serialized element that deftly builds off the groundwork laid the previous week, conjuring questions about who’s going to wind up with whom.
If you like--or like zoning out to--slick and shiny romantic comedies in the vein of New Year's Eve and Valentine's Day, Mixology is the show for you. But underneath the glossy, Ryan Seacrest-produced banner, this cocktail actually has some genuine sweetness and originality.
"Mixology" was amazing.. this is the saddest day of my life.. You know how I know it was good? I couldn't wait for season 2.. then I found out it was cancelled.. Hey ABC go look up "Mixology season 2" on Google, and see how many people want it back. Or better yet, go on Netflix and look at its rating. It's almost 5 stars. Yeah way to figure out the people. Oh and guess what? Since ive been watching it.. Ive told 4 friends about it and they all watch it now. So ive basically multiplied an audience by 4. It''s okay.. im still going to tell people.. and when you guys see how bad we want it back, and how many are watching it, you will eventually renew it. So do it now while you still have your pride. Otherwise your just going to renew it later and do what you could have done now, in about a year. Mkay? Thanks =D
I randomly came across this show mid-season and I was instantly hooked and that doesn't happen often at all. The last show I really liked was freaks and geeks. This show is a look at the bar scene from 10 perspectives and each episode is multiple viewpoints of the same point in the night. I thought the concept was original and it was cool to see a representation of a contemporary night out. The actors themselves are a great collection of funny, talented, and memorable people. Each character gets explored to different extents in each episode and you come to love them all. It's a shame the show was cancelled although it could be a hard concept to turn into a series. It almost feels like it should be a movie. It reminds me a lot of 'nick and norah's infinite playlist'. As for the abysmal critical reviews... well critics are pretentious **** what's new.
There is something mechanical and arbitrary about the plotting, as if a mess of gears that didn't actually go together had been smashed into some semblance of a working order.
Mixology is a hilarious show with great twists and turns. It is a raw and realistic depiction of the dating world today. The guy who plays Bruce (his name escapes me at the moment) plays a hate-to-love character that absolutely NAILS his role! The background narrations of each character are really fun and enable the audience to really connect and almost build a slight rapport with the characters. The dynamic of each group is smart, funny and again, realistic. The ditsy waitress with the sexy bartender; The single mom and washed up friend; The business professional man-eater with her sweet and naïve friend/co-worker; And lastly the guys; Complete opposites, Tom and Bruce feed off each other and just create magic on the screen. Tom makes me cringe and yet makes me want to cuddle him and hold him while he cries on my shoulder. Overall this show is entertaining, funny and realistic. As much as I am not the hugest Ryan Seacrest fan, he did, in this case, produce something actually worth watching! Well done!
Two things:
1. This show is satire. It pokes fun at these exaggerated versions of REAL people you would find at bars. There is no need to get offended.
2. While this show is hilarious and pretty well-written, it belongs on FX or Comedy Central
Acting is spot on. The dynamics between the characters is very tight and funny. Each week I like bruce a little more. I cringed at most of what Tom says. It does what it purports to do - makes me feel for the characters.
I absolutely love this series! it is not only funny but it's real life problems that people have. I think that the show has so much potential and I would love for it to continue!
