I initially didn't know what to expect from this series, but from the Pilot episode on, I was hooked. Granted, there are some points that give off the all too familiar "Friends" vibe, but I reckon that is rooted in the fact, that Friends was THE sitcom to watch for a decade. I would think, that The Exes, has the same potential. The characters are lovable and easily understood. (Mostly) employed and not sitting hours on end in a coffee house, while trying to figure out how to pay for their coffees. Personally, I love the premise of the strong, successful career woman showing compassion and kindness towards her "ex" clients, and them reciprocating. It's very grown-up. It's not tedious to watch unlike some shows, and the characters harmonize quite well, despite their quirks and flaws.I can't wait for a couple of more seasons!!! I am intrigued how much the Wedding might have changed or empowered Holly. :-)

I can't believe that "The Exes" make it to the 4th season! I don't mean that this is a bad comedy. It's OK-ish. But the networks have canceled faaar more interesting and funny comedies out there.Anyway. This is a painless "roommates" kind of comedy. 3 men who recently divorced are forced to live under the same roof and across the apartment of the female lawyer who helped them. Obviously the 3 men have totally different personalities and as I remember there were some conflicts in the 1st season but I guess there are more like a family now.The leads are not too charismatic. Second class more like it.Most of the jokes are dating related. To tell you the truth I'm kind of bored by the "I am the man and I have a hot date" kind of jokes and the semi-funny pickup lines in a bar.Another thing that always bothers me in these sitcoms is the fake laughing track which unfortunately is present in this show too.Overall: It's not a bad series but I hardly think that it is worth the time to watch it regularly.

With so many reality shows shoved in our face, and the few comedy shows out there that are so lame, and not worth the time watching, it's refreshing to finally watch a comedy show that delivers hilarity. I actually can't believe how funny "The Exes" is. Note: the first episode is not so good as it's just introducing the watcher to the premise, but once you get past it, it's non-stop laughter. Kudos to the writers. As for the actors, each one chosen well for each part. I thought the first season was great and couldn't do any better. Totally wrong. Second season rocked even more. There were times I had to pause the show as I couldn't stop laughing. Love the show and can't wait for the third season.

I won't necessarily write that this show is anything like Friends (let's be honest, what is?) or How I met Your Mother but still it has the comedy down. Kristen Johnson certainly carries most of the comedic element of this show. The Acting however could use to tone down a bit. There were scenes which gave goosebumps out of pure overacting. The writing needs a bit of work as well. Some lines were too cartoonish and too far off reality. But otherwise, if you want a good time and feel good after a hard day's work then this shows is good!
