    This actually wasn't a bad show.It's cute, adorable, fluffy, entertaining and a very lighthearted show to watch.But…… It's nothing new.The two leads, Ben Feldman and Cristin Milioti, were entertaining to watch but more often than not, I found my attention always drawn to Milioti.The show also has a great supporting cast including Lenora Crichlow from UK's Being Human with Katey Sagal (Sons of Anarchy) narrating the series and I do like how the supporting cast gets screen time and stories away from the two leads.It would have been something I would have continued to watch had it got a second season but I'm not heartbroken about it being cancelled.

    A to Z is the best show on TV right now, it is fresh, funny and fantastic, oh did I mention fun? Ben Feldman is easy on the eyes too a great actor! I also think it's neat that they name each episode after a letter of the alphabet. A to Z is a half hour filled with entertainment and it never seems like 30 minutes has passed because that's how good A to Z is. The show is by far one of the best series to hit the airwaves in a long time. A to Z offers everything you would want in a comedy and more.Please check out A to Z if you haven't because you will be glad you did.

    Amid a TV landscape over-saturated with romcoms this fall season, A to Z sticks out.While the narration can be a little cloying (likely taking cues from "How I Met Your Mother"), the story's pretty endearing and the gimmick works as far as getting the viewer invested in what each letter will stand for. Christine Melonti, who coincidentally was Ted's dream girl on HIMYM, plays buttoned-up lawyer Zelda who enters into a pensive relationship with another company employee Andrew. Neither of the two leads are particularly magnetic but their chemistry is pretty good and their relationship is very visceral.Because they met at the workplace, the show is an intra-workplace romance which helps the pacing as it breaks up the relationship dramedy with a workplace comedy that, at times, can be as sharp as "Better off Ted." It's also through the workplace element that the show gets bolstered by a rock-solid stable of supporting characters (the IT work spouses played by Parvesh China and Hong Chou are particularly amusing) The supporting cast is also augmented by the two leads' best friends, Stephanie and Stu, who had a regrettable one night stand (technically, it was 15 minutes), that serves as a perfect allegory to the regrettable consequences of one-night stands.For those who find the great TV romcoms of the early 2000s and 1990's outdated, A to Z is smart enough to be relevant to our current era of app-based digital-history-fearing dating without hammering it over your head.For someone who's not generally into romcoms, this show does a lot for me

    Andrew (Ben Feldman) works at at dating app company Wallflower with his best friend Stu (Henry Zebrowski). He's a romantic. Zelda (Cristin Milioti) is a lawyer whose best friend co-worker Stephie (Lenora Crichlow) sign up to a horrible date. They fall for each other. They date but they've met before. It seems that they're just meant to be. The premise is that they date for eight months, three weeks, five days, and one hour. Each episode is a letter from A to Z with narration from Katey Sagal.I like both lead actors and the lead characters. They are cute together and have good chemistry. Their wacky best friends are functional. This is a reasonable romantic sitcom but it should be much better. The premise is silly but what annoyed me more is the start of every show. Pushing the title from A to Z feels manufactured and Katey Sagal should probably not narrate the same opening over and over again. It's tiresome like some writer trying to copy the tone of '(500) Days of Summer'. It's manufactured because 8 months is setting up something to happen at the end of the season. It's too forced.
