Onlinewsma Absolutely Brilliant!

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Shopaholic35 This show has a tendency to sway between weird and uncomfortable then cute and funny. It has its moments but I think overall they tried too hard to be quirky. The cast just don't pull off quirky well. And while the inner monologue can be funny it tends to get in the way of the flow of the show. There's just no real substance as they spend too much time trying to be too cool to be funny yet not really serious. Ugh...this show needs to make up its mind.Honestly it's OK, but not great. If it chose a direction to progress then maybe I would like it more. Since there's only one season give it a go as you might enjoy it but don't bother getting invested.

Amy Adler Dana (Analeigh Tipton of the darling Damsels in Distress movie) has just moved to Manhattan for her first major job in publishing. Fortunately, she has an old college friend and her husband to bunk with, while she looks for a place of her own. Not wanting to let any grass grow, the yoga-loving wife desires to matchmake immediately and introduce Dana to a mutual friend, Peter (Jake McDorman). But, first, our publishing gal has a day at work. Ugh, times ten. As she exits the elevator, another man is entering it, obviously taking his box of files. HE'S been fired and Dana is taking his place. The big boss introduces D then retreats to his "bunker office". Very miffed, the two employees in charge refuse to show her what to do and end up locking her out in the stairwell. Then, its time for the date with Peter. Ouch. Although they "sort of" like the looks of each other, Peter's cynical nature is all too clear and Dana ends up in tears, bolting from the scene. Can this truly be the start of a Manhattan Love Story? YES! As is typical, I am behind everyone else and just saw my first show. It's adorable and I want more, more, more. How I love the actors, especially Tipton, who was a real charmer in Damsels in Distress, a Whit Stilman film. Then, the setting is great, for there is no place like Manhattan on the planet. At least, the beautiful views this show sports. Add on the great costumes, script (a mixture of lines and streams of consciousness) and a lively direction. Therefore, PLEASE ABC! SAY IT Ain't SO! We romcom lovers NEED shows like this to maintain our sanity and zest for life!

SnoopyStyle Dana (Analeigh Tipton) is new in NYC pushed on a blind date by her friend Amy. Peter (Jake McDorman) works at the family trophy company. She's a sweet single girl in the city and he's unable to have a proper relationship. The show also has the internal monologues of both lead characters.Peter is so unlikeable at the beginning that it throws the show into a tail spin for me. Dana is the standard flaky single girl. Then there is the tired monologue. It tries to be so cute that it actually hurts. Tipton is a perfectly good actress for that character she usually plays. I liked her in 'Crazy, Stupid, Love.' In a better written show, she may even be good. This is not that show.

ypuskinsan After seeing the trailer for this show, i was sure this is another regular romcom like many others on TV. But being a romance freak that i am, i gave it a shot and watched it. And thank god i did.Pilot to this show is very promising. The awkward first date between two person in Manhattan and the self mumbling in their head was cute and adoring. I already love the lead female and her rather soft and yet firm attitude towards life. And the lead male, with his dreamy voice and laid back attitude like any other bachelor or playboy wanna be (though seen many times on TV) works well.But last of all thanks to the writer to this show for making a great script where a regular romance appears surprisingly new and refreshing.Awkward but cute, Cliché and yet interesting. Looking forward to the next episode.
