I liked the show. This TV-show is not pretentious but while you watch it you are just having a good time and some laughs. Which for me is what is all about. I like the work of both lead actors do and their characters. It is too bad there is not a season 2. we need more series like this and less drama series. It is difficult to find series to have a good time, since right now all is polluted with murdered, doctors and all that surreal stuff going on. It is much more difficult to make a comedy series, this TV-show was good to watch and make you have some laughs instead of making you feel miserable like others.all my credit to the people involved in this series.

How to be a gentleman is a sitcom, actually just that, it has little or nothing more to it than what it is, and the fact is that this is what makes it good, it has all the clichés that a hardcore sitcom watcher knows and loves, it's quirky, mild mannered, and in no way remarkable or overly interesting just like the main character, and it has the same noncontinuous, non serious, and uncommitted writing that any casual watcher wants.It's not spectacular, revolutionary or polemic like some other current series, but it simply does the job without making much effort to it, and for that you have to give a tip of your hat, just like a proper gentleman.

So here comes a new series called "How to be Gentleman." The title might be slightly misleading considering we are being shown how NOT to be a gentleman so far. David Hornsby does not do much to the show for me and kind of reminds me of Neil Patrick Harris of which I'm not a big fan of. His lines are corny and his comedy is based mainly on gimmicks. I didn't feel much need to laugh at anything he said. Kevin Dillan on the other hand is someone you either hate or love, and I absolutely love his humor and way of acting. If you're a fan of entourage its takes some time to get your head around and get used to him being in a different show. Although his role in entourage is legendary, it seems perhaps he could do wonders for this show as well. If it wasn't for him i wouldn't be looking forward to the next episode but now I am eager to see more of him and whether or not he can maintain my interest for this show. The show definitely has potential.

Six seasons and a movie is most assuredly what will not happen with this series. I was excited about this show as I loved Hornsby's character in 'Always sunny in Philadelphia' and I'm a big Rhys Darby fan, however neither actor lived up to my expectations. I'm very confused as to who this show is aimed at. The main character (Hornsby) seems to be a copy of Niles from Frasier, while I'm sure there is a demographic for a character for this sort, I'm honestly baffled as to why anyone would think this demographic would enjoy the, dumbed down American teen humor, format that the show is presented in. All the subtleties that make Darby funny just don't work with the brash laughter track in this show. While I would love to see him get the opportunity he deserves after the tour de force that was 'Murray' in 'Flight of the conchords', he is not suited to this 'classic American sitcom' format, or prehaps just this particular show. As for Dillon and the rest of the cast, I hesitate to pass judgment after seeing two actors that I have enjoyed in the pass humbled on this particular show. It is almost as if the show set out to be a satire of bad American sitcoms and ended up becoming the very thing it was meant to be poking fun at. Overall this show is a disappointment and I won't be recommending it to anyone.
