UNDATEABLE REVIEW S01E01: WHY SOME MEN DON’T GET LAID!



When I read the tweet from NBC on my timeline of the premier of undateable I was excited because the title tells the show would be great and funny, plus most of the series I follow are all on break even game of thrones. So I booked the date for the premier and the weekend to watch the first two episode of the show. 

The opening of the first scene of the first episode saw Danny Beeman (Chris D’Elia) try to talk his friend who seem to be making progress in his relationship by getting married from moving out. His sister Leslie Beeman played by (Bianca Kajlich) stands in the room watch on as Danny try to prevent the eminent. Danny character is that of a guy who has been mentored very well on how to get women using your looks and probably a few catchy lines. According to him he enjoys his life as it is and not ready to commit himself in a relationship. Well why not when you have good looks you could hang around for sometimes isn’t it and his surname is quiet funny “Beeman” because he can smell the nectar in the ladies from afar?  Danny refers to married friends as buried and well there is some truth in there after all one-ginal disease. 

Danny’s friend moves out and finds a new one. He is Justin Kearney (Brent Morin) who can’t get women or find a date. Awkward huh? A guy owns a bar and yet can’t even find one depressed girl from the bar to date? Anyway, Danny tries to mentor Justin the fine lines of picking up women and suggested suggest they and Justin’s friends – Burski (Rick Glassman), Shelly not Sheldon (Ron Funches) and Brett (David Rynn) go out to a wine-tasting party that Leslie is hosting.

Danny make his new buds try their luck to monitor how they fair with women which back fired when Justin brags the next day about sleeping with a woman from the party, and it turns out to be Leslie, Danny’s sister. Danny later learns from his sister that they actually did not have sex but shared a special moment in bed thanks Justin being Justin.

THE BUD SPOILER
Although the title of the show is classy and catchy at the same time looking at the fact that thanks to free porn online, social media, video games and lots of TV series some ladies and guys find it difficult entering into committed relationship or even get lucky going out with a women. Tough times huh? Go out and you will miss game of thrones, scandal, big bang theory, originals, blacklist which are shown different times and on different days in the week.

However, this sitcom in my opinion would not survive two seasons because it will get though with developing each character. Example Justin’s friend you may think are nerds but in fact are not nerds but a bunch of guys who are not cool to be around and have nothing special about their personal life that viewers will be interested in. If you compare this group to chuck Lorre’s big bang theory nerds these nerds from undateable would be slaughtered by one commit from Dr. Sheldon Copper.

The name of the bar Justin own is “the black eye” that is catchy and smart but lmao. I go to a bar to relax and have a bottle or two not to get a black eye from a bar fight. And it would be cool if we have to see more guys in the bar having drinks like the setting of “mixology” (mixology is a nice series I recommend).

These are early days but I will rate this sitcom or series 40/100 or 2 stars out of 5. For guys or ladies who want to catch one or two lines when picking women or guys undateable is for you.

NOTE: UNDATEABLE WAS CREATED BY ADAM SZTYKIEL. DIRECTED BY SCOTT ELIS AND ORIGINAL HOME OF THE SERIES IS NBC. THE SITCOM IS BASE ON A BOOK “UNDATEABLE” BY ELLEN RAKIETEN AND ANNE COYLE.
