Everyone has been dumped, or dumped someone. We all know the exaggerated feelings that come along with this, feelings of helplessness, anger etc. This show is the most clever manifestation of those feelings I've ever seen on television. Blind dating like dating a troll, getting a girls number making you feel like a genius, deleting an ex's number like an exorcism? This show is one of the most clever things on television. People are taking it too literally, like what is happening is really happening rather than an interpretation of what we've all felt. Watch it that way, and you won't be disappointed. I surely hope this show succeeds and with an open mind one will find that they've felt this way too and the wit behind the show is phenomenal.

Clever as hell
masksbc7 February 2015
I insist that people that don't enjoy this show simply don't understand it, or are irrevocably too old to ever enjoy it properly.
The show grapples with the normal complications associated with dating in your 20s, but with gigantic exaggerated versions of every minute obstacle that one faces. A simple issue is represented by an extreme exemplification of itself in that every aspect of social awkwardness is transformed into a seemingly real horror show. It's brutally hysterical, as long as you are the right age to understand it. Maybe impossible to get into if you're older than 40.
single and just out of college? this program knows what you might be going through and turns it into totally absurd comedy satire

Shocked to see how good it was

People tend to write exaggerated things about shows they love, so when others watch it they get frustrated by the bench mark set. this show is not friends or will and grace or seinfeld. its something new. it is very creative. it doesn't drop the ball and make you lose interest after a while. some how , really don't know how, but some how found a way not to be repetitive or boring even though it was just about dating. guess its stuff we see in other people with a huge magnifying glass thats wha the show did for me. try it. this was all i had to say but unfortunately IMDb requires more lines in order for me to submit. and here you go.
An Original Comedy
atlasmb5 February 2015
As soon as you watch the first few minutes of this show, you know you are watching something different. At first, I thought this was a modern day Walter Mitty, but it is more than that. The action does not take place in the head of the main character, Josh. The absurd happenings actually take place--in reality.
It does not take long to fall into the imaginative world of "Man Seeking Woman". Now, after four episodes, I am happily ensconced in Josh's (Jay Baruchel) wacky world.
Initially, the action revolves around Josh's attempts to find success on the social scene after breaking up with his girlfriend. He is totally inept, but he keeps trying. His best friend Mike (Eric Andre) is little help because he is a playa and a user (of women).
The story lines feel like an extended SNL skit--a good skit. I recommend the show, but be warned that it is edgy and definitely not PC.
Update 2/13/15: After the "cupid" episode guest starring Minka Kelly, I am upgrading my vote to an 8. The humor is consistent and, well, badass.
Update 3/14/16: I am increasing my grade to 9, because this show is consistently funny episode to episode like only the best comedy shows of all time. A wonderful blend of creativity and imagination.

Absolute perfect show for males in their 20s
reallynotnick27 March 2015
First off, stop reading about this show, just watch it, go in knowing nothing. I had never seen anything besides a couple random 15 second ads for the show that didn't make sense at the time, but now it all clicks. I have never laughed so hard at a premier of a show in my life and I was watching it by myself and sober (though I do think that might be the ideal way to watch this show as it somehow adds to it all).
If you're a male in your 20s you will have no problem relating to this show, though everyone will find something to relate to just the further away you are from that benchmark the less you might relate. I'll admit I fall into that bucket and the show just hits everything on the head.
I'll be very interested to see how this show progresses because it is so extremely novel one does fear it might run out things to cover. I've yet to see signs of that, but I'm only 4 episodes in. So we'll see, I remain hopeful, go watch it!

I had to review this show after all the bashing...
Man Seeking Woman is a quirky, imaginative show. Derived from the hip young mind of former SNL writer Simon Rich. For those who don't 'get it', I think it would help to think of it as a sketch comedy show. This show would actually benefit from the main character setting up the situations for the viewer. Not that I want that, I love the show the way it is. Casting has been great so far, cameos aplenty (Bill Hader... "Uh-oh") I hope more people give it a chance. As we've seen before, shows can become more appealing and entertaining as they progress. It is a Fantasy Love Story with a massive dose of Sci-Fi. Think of Princess Bride mixed with Spaceballs. With Jay Baruchel and the amazing Vanessa Bayer! I love it, and can't wait to see them all! I recommend this to anyone who has ever been in a relationship... THAT MEANS YOU!

Its like a life version of Ugly Americans with a clever twist on how dating a relationships work. The exaggerations of the situations is what makes it so incredible ( blind dating a Troll or asking advice to the nuclear committee for a text message). Absolutely refreshing. Jay's character is as fragile as a dumped person really is with his over the top, bad adviser best friend who supports him but at the same time boycotts his every move.
Open your mind when seeing this show as is not the typical comedy. Hopefully more the next episodes will have the same drastic humor. Love/Hate Adolf.

Good unorthodox show
kalashelarcangel6 February 2016
Man seeking woman is definitely a surprise. For those of us who rejoice with absurd humour we are in for a treat. The story does not seem to follow a real story and might not make you burst out in laughter, but it will make you, for sure, comment to your friends and family about it. Some of the ideas are so damn ludicrous you eventually get hooked to it. Besides, some of the ideas you will see in here will have previously crossed your mind in several occasions, it's funny because you will see them in an actual show and think: "hey, i once thought of that! I am not such a weirdo after all!". Well... thats cute. Yes you are. So am i. And so is this show.So now let's enjoy it.
Weird yet funny.
Shopaholic3529 January 2016
This show is absolutely one of the stupidest things I have ever seen yet it is incredibly funny and insightful. It's not just a brain dead spoof show. The creators have put a lot of thought into the concept and execution. The cast included.
It may seem a little extreme but who hasn't faced some of these emotions and felt that their world was going to end. People naturally have a tendency to overreact. All they have done is turned it into a literal representation. Each episode I find myself relating to his angst and uncertainty. It's ridiculous but comically realistic.
And don't be confused into thinking it's a laugh riot as the humour is more intelligent than that. It won't be for everyone but everyone should be able to relate.

First off anyone who doesn't like this show has no sense of humor...and is probably just way to straight laced to enjoy life....this show is hilarious, and super odd...its very original and unlike every thing else on TV...and each week it surprises me...probably my most fave sitcom of the new season. Basically its about a guy who is a very unlucky dater and all these hilarious situations arise, that could never really happen, I mean really wacky out of the universe kind of stuff, stuff that is so bizarre you will be literally mouthing WTF and wanting more...lighten up haters and give it a chance...maybe if you opened your mind to its senseless nonsense, you may even laugh....2 thumbs up!
Smart Canadian Humour
wasaga-672-61725420 January 2016
Before I get into this review, I just want to say @masksbc that your comment about people over 40 "not getting" this humour is ageist. My husband and I are well past 40 and we love the show.
This series features the best talents from several generations of Canadian comedy. It's wonderful to see SCTV's Robin Duke and Kids In The Hall's Mark McKinney in a series together. Man Seeking Woman is certainly not for everyone's taste but if you were a fan of SCTV, Kids In The Hall and some of Lorne Michaels weirder productions, you'll "get" this.
Filmed in Toronto, Man Seeking Woman is surreal, odd, silly, figurative and at times delightfully bizarre but it retains a coherent plot of a young man (Baruchel) who breaks up with his girlfriend and has trouble navigating the world as a single guy. The "Dram" episode had me laughing so hard. Without giving anything away, Robin Duke plays the best TV mom I've ever seen.

pseudo innovative fail
pm400011 February 2015
Warning: Spoilers
The main character of the show is a young man whose girlfriend broke up with him. He is sad and still likes her and his trying to get out there to meet other women. There is also his best friend and his sister who help him out when he needs advice. He has some issues with his sister because he can't find a proper job and she is very successful. What sets this show apart from others is that there are surrealistic elements in there (if only it wasn't done so poorly). So the events don't necessarily happen the way they are portrayed.
There is for example one scene where his blind date is portrayed as an actual troll. I found this to be very demeaning to women. Everybody had a date in his life who he/she didn't find attractive. But normal people just keep being nice to avoid hurting the others feeling and don't make a second date, and maybe you have a good time anyway. The main character insults the woman and ends the date. I know that this isn't intended to be taken as what literally happened. It is one of these surrealistic scenes which are meant to describe how he felt and he probably didn't really insult her. But at that point I had literally no sympathy left for the character. He behaves like a ten year old and is completely egocentric.
There was another surrealistic scene where the new boyfriend of his ex is portrayed as Adolf Hitler. I know it is a common phenomenon that one redirects the anger over the breakup and the hurt feelings toward the new boyfriend but he doesn't seem to be aware of that. He keeps behaving like an 10 year old whose candy has been stolen and gets thrown out of the party after an insult. Yes I know that this didn't happen the way it was portrayed but they are making their character unlikeable.
This is one of the shows that desperately try to make pseudo intelligent references to pop culture to appeal to the younger crowd. The awful references all the time make the show painful to watch. Not that I don't like a reference once in a while (ore twice) but this show seems to be only about those (poorly executed) references. Even if I put all these criticisms aside there is nothing done well in this show. The humor is just stupid and childish e.g. there is a joke about a man who has to go to the toilet and then makes a mess... thank god they didn't actually show that. Another reviewer wrote that older people don't get the humor but I don't think that is the main problem (btw I am 26). The main problem is that the story itself isn't worth watching and was literally done 1000 times before and to spice it up they brought in some "creative" elements which don't really fit well in the narrative.
So in conclusion the show is about a pathetic unlikeable person who tries, with the help of his generic "funny" cool friend and his blend sister, to meet women and who will most times fail at it. (just my suspicion)

I really like the show (my opinion of the bad reviews on IMDb)
diskospider23 January 2017
**PERTAINING TO THE BAD REVIEWS OF THIS TITLE ON IMDb**
Although the sample size might not be big enough, it seems like the bad reviews of this program on IMDb are exclusively written from non-American accounts. Maybe the writing of this show is just not destined to do well in foreign lands.
**MAIN OPINION**
While the show is way over the top, I think if you just relax and don't take it seriously, that's what makes it hilarious. Constantly the show might fool you into thinking Josh is in some sort of dream or day-dream when this is the shows reality; from a blind date with an actual troll to sitting with America's council of defense contemplating what the contents of his text should be to a girl he met on the train, this show is goofy is heck darn it.
**THE PILOT**
So often pilots are so crammed with exposition of the characters and the main driving force of the show or plot that good writing can be hard to find in a comedy. This is a good example of what a pilot can be. I was able to learn the role of each character without them being force fed to me. And I got to chuckle throughout the episode. Comparing the first episode to the rest of the season, it's very consistent, meaning you should probably be able to tell if the show is or isn't for you just by watching the pilot.

This is my favorite show
theresa-9998719 December 2015
I have watched the first season three times, and every minute was worth spending! The actors are amazing, I really love the faces of every on of them, the ideas are very funny and the way of presenting the oldest problem of life is so refreshing (as I heard many people say about the show before me). I recommend "Man seeking Woman" especially to people going through a break-up. This series understands you like only a very good friend does. Especially the last episode of the first season makes everything kind of okay. Another thing worth mentioning is the awesome intro with a soundtrack by Photay, which makes me dance every time I hear it. Thumbs up! Can't wait for season two!
Great Idea

I want so much to like this show, however I feel like I'm forcing myself to watch each episode. I really like Jay Baruchel, that's why I've pressed on. I've read that the humor is intelligent and people won't get it. Myself I find that its mostly whining and first world problems. The jokes are common but told in a creative form, like the joke about not wanting to introduce your mom to your love interest. Finished maybe four episodes trying to find a new show to binge watch, but I can't even with this, unfortunately. Whenever it comes to Netflix I'll probably give it another shot. Until then I will continue enjoying Jay Baruchel movies ha-ha
I LOVE this show!! It's different from others out there.
iceprincess-4915825 January 2020
Warning: Spoilers
At first I saw a few ads for this show & thought wow that's different but I couldn't wait to watch it. I was hooked after the first episode & have watched it to the end again. I'm sad that the show has ended but it is about finding love & the right person for you. I am also a huge fan of Jay. We've all been there before & it does hurt someone, either you or the other person. This show was amazing because everything you've felt after being dumped or dumping someone was taking to the extreme at times but who hasn't been through this?! Especially deleting your ex's number or walking up to someone & straight up ask them out, only to be rejected almost every time. That alone takes ball's & it doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman. At some point through this show, you'll be able to relate to more than one of these situations. I hate to see it end but I'm happy for how they ended it! There's going to be times when you think wow really sex with a car??! But at the same time you're laughing & thinking hey that could be so n so my crazy ex, especially when she drives through his place. I'd say give it a try before you listen to the hater's out there! This was I think my 3rd time watching it from start to finish. Still laughed, cryed, cringed at times it's still laughed through it all for the most part anyway. I couldn't laugh when Josh was in pain, I felt his suffering & related to it a time or two. I love this show! It's refreshing & something new!
Bizarre, genre bending rom-com
mohdshafiulhaque11 February 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Man Seeking Woman intuitively grasps the high-drama narrative stakes felt by people falling in love, and the show's genre flirtations are great at conveying the way that experience feels. The show beautifully captures how two people in a relationship construct an imaginative world together, becoming the heroes of a private mythology. In a new relationship, mundane activities can take on an epic dimension: For instance, the site of your first date might turn into a sacred space, a landmark in your mental map of the world. The show has evolved with each season, beginning as just a series of one-off dates for Josh before focusing in on a single crush throughout Season 2 (which also caused tension with his best friend, played by Eric André). In Season 3, however, Man Seeking Woman gives Josh a stable, serious relationship with Lucy (Katie Findlay), who finally seems like the girl meant for him, and vice versa. Through this, the show morphs again to focus on jokes surrounding relationships and being in a couple, and does so with the same amount of wit, insight, and bizarre twists as it did in prior seasons.

Dr_Sagan19 January 2015
Warning: Spoilers
There are 2 options, if you want to try to make a difference on TV. Either you get a new and fresh idea and try to make it work, OR you get the absolutely OLDEST premise possible (a guy searching for a woman after his girlfriend breaks-up with him) and beat it with a stick, making it unrecognizable.
"Man Seeking Woman" is (surprise, surprise) about a young man who recently broke up from his girlfriend and seeking for a replacement. The difference from all other ROMCOMs out there is the surrealistic approach that involves dating a ...troll, time travel and other gimmicks that are to (or NOT to) be seen.
The Pilot features a disgusting troll puppet who eats garbage and tries to eat the hand of the protagonist. The 2 minutes sequence with the troll at the beginning of the 1st episode is repulsive and unfunny and stigmatized the series for me.
I usually like ROMCOMs. I even rooted for some recent ones like "A to Z", "Marry Me", "Selfie" (now canceled), "Manhattan Love Story" (also canceled).
This one however looks and feels terrible and I will probably skip the remaining episodes.
Also, while the breakup is definitive, I see that the Asian ex-girlfriend is credited in the entire season (10 episodes) meaning that there will be many sad or awkward moments while he will try to get her back.
Anyway. I like most of the Romantic Comedies out there. Don't like this one.

Hilarious in general, it gets "idea" repetitive in some scenes but it still works out fine ;).
Aktham_Tashtush24 February 2015
So let's agree that Jay Baruchel is weirdly funny, no matter where you see him it's somehow the same character of the socially awkward guy who likes to fit in and have a normal relationship.
Here the scenario is the same with the concept of making some of the events on the show "impossible" to be funny like in the movie "This Is the End" devils and dragons and blah blah ..
But was a bit funny, here the events is kinda the same. The idea itself is genius and the "literal" concept is present.
The casting is fine , Eric André is really funny dude. the cinematography is skillful. honestly tho, i don't know if the audience would bear to watch it and watching the same idea over and over again, i don't if i can.!! that doesn't mean it wouldn't be Hilarious sometimes but in others it would be repetitive.

A relateable surreal comedy show about love/relationships
b-tan8713 March 2021
Really good show. Its a creative surreal (with some light dark humor) comedy show about dating, love and relationships. Also sprinkle stuff that people go through in their 20s & 30s. I would recommend skipping the 1st season. Its a bit too awkward and cringy and they don't really seem to have it together. 2nd & 3rd season the writing is much better and it appeals to a wider audience.

He arranges for all of them to hang out in a boring mine bar that traps Mike and Lucy together with miners. Eventually, Mike approves of Lucy, and it's Josh's turn to meet Lucy's parents.

Review of the pilot.
hamaro919 January 2015
I just watched the pilot,having seen trailers before it i didn't have high expectations but when i finally watched the pilot it was OK at best. It's similar to the animated show Ugly Americans ( plot-wise not quality ).The pilot isn't very funny to be honest but there is room for improvement.I didn't laugh the whole episode maybe had a chuckle or two. One thing the show has it going for is that the main actor Jay Baruchel is great for the role of Josh.There is potential,the Hitler joke and the troll one idea-wise they were interesting but badly executed.I really hope the show improves over time because it has potential to be great.
