A to Z

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.

I put exactly the same title in my quick review of "Manhattan Love Story". What is happening this fall? So many new, fresh romantic comedies out there!

A to Z makes a very good addition to the pack! Is sweet, joyful, funny, romantic, with a light tone of sarcasm for dating and finding your soul-mate in our modern era.

A stands for Andrew and Z for Zelda, the main characters, but it signifies the intention of the producers for at least 26 episodes, as in the 26 letters of the English Alphabet, where each episode gets its name from the letters. i.e. "A is for Acquaintances","B is for Big Glory" etc.

The 2 leads are endearing and make a good couple. In the beginning there are the usual awkward moments between them that in the end adding to the sweetness of the show. The script is good although it seems somehow forced here and there but thankfully there is no laughing track in this.

Overall: 2014 seems like the year of good romcom, so if you like the genre, A to Z is not to be missed.

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

It's a refreshing concept and the characters are very likable. I really enjoy their dynamic and the story. Too bad it is not renewed! Would have been interesting to watch it unfold.

This show I watched it on airline travel and got hooked .. the chemi between two is just amazing .. light.. romantic .. and just funny enough to light up all mood. I watched it many times and still love it. It annoys me deep inside The show stopped .. those who voted low must be expecting hilarious comedyshow, well this isn't .. the show is like a sweet fluffy desert after hard day working .. this is exacy how it feels everytime I watch it again.
