This show is pretty bad. The story lines seem pretty flimsy, the humour is mostly cringe worthy, and all the characters are irrational and unrealistic. It is a shame, because most of the actors are hot (with the exception of Lou) and the acting itself isn't terrible.This could be a decent show, but as it stands it just seems like yet another desperate attempt by MTV to appeal to us 20-somethings feeling sorry for ourselves because 'lifes so hard'. It certainly falls short of that for me, but I can see it being a hit with kids who are fresh out of high school and expecting life to be all 'friends forever' and are gullible enough to believe that two adults and a baby can afford a 2 bedroom loft apartment on 1 salary.I'm really surprised this crap came from the same person who produced Six Feet Under, because comparatively, this is a load of (not totally unwatchable, but still stinky) garbage.

Great Series. I have caught up and watched the first six episodes. I am really liking all the characters especially Miles, Sophia and Daphne. This show is now something that I am looking forward to each week. I encourage everyone to watch the first few episodes and let yourself get to know the characters so you can enjoy this show as much as myself. Each week I learn more about each character and like them even more. The show leaves me wondering what is going to happen next. This series reminds me of my favorite show of all time "Friends" I don't usually watch MTV but for this show is different. It is well done and entertaining.

One normally doesn't associate good television with MTV, but, in the dampening surge (too soon Jerzy Shore?) of the reality TV craze it gets credit for birthing, the network gets high marks for setting their sights on a young, vastly more ironic and less literal target audience that must be seen/heard/texted. With Teen Wolf having faired well in its first two back to back seasons, MTV recently introduced Underemployed to offer a more real, if not natural, slice of young adult life. The show focuses on a tightly knit group of 5 friends who've vowed post college graduation, the shows outset, to realize their lives' ambitions today, tomorrow, whenever as long as it's as quickly as possible. Fast forward 1 year hence and we learn learn all has not gone as planned and all 5 of our friends are far short of their benchmark. We, the audience, get to participate as they try to fill the gap b/w the now and last year's now by leaning on their collective want for greatness in spite of their challenging, and that's probably too mild a word, set of circumstances. The best part about this show, besides being more real than the Seaside shenanigans airing weekly, is that it's relatable (and if you can't, it wasn't written for you anyway), its dialogue is well-written, and it's often pee-pants funny. Enjoy, if you are so inclined; I know I do and will. -JD

This in first look may seem to be a cliché show about young friends trying to put together a life in Chicago... but once you start following subsequent episodes, believe me.. it's kinda fun. It reminds us in our mundane lives, that how friendships and true bondings are important to support one another and go through good and not so good times and circumstances.It's a youthful and enthusiastic show, which gives us a surprisingly refreshing view and a positive outlook towards, people, friendships, relations and lives all together, with keeping the background quiet realistic in today's modern American big city life. A good show indeed... of course for those who get the hang of it...!
