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. :-)

Holly Franklin-very funny,as usually even when she doesn't speak! Haskell-he was funny in Seinfeld and he is funny here! Eden-funny Stuart and Phil,not only they're not funny at all,it's annoying to watch them so every time they have a scene i have to scroll forward...and now they also added that annoying sister of his...Almost every comedy(lately) they have the same theme"singles-midlife-and always looking for someone and talk talk talking about sex,over and over again with the endless jokes about sex...I don't know how much this show will last but i can see how they get bored with each episode that appears and please make more scenes with Holly and Haskell and even Eden,but leave those 2 non-funny characters at home.

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!

I'd give it a ten, but it's still finding it's legs. But it has the possibility of becoming a great show. The writing is superb and the acting is getting better in every episode. The cast is fun, especially the women. I'm rooting for it to succeed, I hope the network gives them enough of a chance. Kristen Johnston was great in 3rd Rock, and she's great in this. I was hoping Donald Faison would reappear in something fun, and he has. Kelly stables, as 6" Holly's 4"10' assistant is great. The other two guy characters are so far, just kind of annoying. No fault of the actors, I just think maybe that boring men are difficult characters to play without making them annoying. Overall I like the show and find myself laughing out loud. If I had one suggestion, it would be that they could use another character or two.
