    True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

    Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

    It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

    I love this show! It the more modern version of friends. Ben (Ryan Hansen) is by far the funniest character, with Sara (Danneel Ackles)a close second. The Ex's episode was brilliant (The Benefit of Avoiding the Mindbanger). I love all the characters and it seems to be getting funnier and funnier. I also love the honesty of all the characters. It's so refreshing to see a group of people just being who they want to be, no holds barred. It can be sweet, serious, cringe-worthy and hilarious! Keep the episodes coming. The UK will love this show! Note: All the episodes start with 'The benefit of'(knocked a point of for this, too much like friends, copycats ;) still works well though and deserves the 9 stars i have given it!)

    Recently caught two episodes of this network show. The first was OK, the second dismal. Sort of a "Friends" crossed with a daytime soap opera. The only interesting aspect was some quick shots of couples having sex. And there wasn't nearly enough of those. Also, are we ever going to see two people naked and having sex? Someone always seems to be wearing some article of clothing. I suspect the audience for this would surge if the network had a little more gumption and pushed the nudity envelope. As it is, this show will be dead soon enough. It is poorly acted and not particularly well written, and the actors are generic at best, much like soap opera actors.

    Well I was expecting a funny show since it is said to be a comedy. but I should say I was totally disappointed. with all those great shows on air i don't think this a series that you should waste your time on. The acting is poor to start with. and the jokes are pretty lame too. It looks like the actors are putting more effort just to make an impression and land bigger roles. besides although it is named friends with benefits, there is only one couple that has sex together. I think the concept alone could have been taken more seriously. So in conclusion all I can say is that if you don't mind wasting your time on some lame jokes then this might interest you. besides i don't think this deserves a second season either.

    I'll be honest: I only bothered watching this show for two of its stars, Danneel Ackles and Zach Cregger, and I didn't really expect to enjoy it. The plot sounded unoriginal, and I have very little faith in movie and TV studios to actually bother making things good anymore. That said, I absolutely adore 'Friends with Benefits,' and I think anyone with a sense of humor and no ego will, too.The show is solid. All its lead actors are adorable and funny, both slapstick and subdued in their humor, and play their roles with a simplicity and honesty that makes them hard to hate. Each episode features a standalone storyline interwoven with the established, budding, and evolving relationships amongst the group of friends, and everything about them is right.The real reason people don't seem to like this show is, as far as I can tell, that people seem to have very high standards for what they consider comedy. Naturally, there are comedies that are brilliantly crafted instant classics, and 'FWB' isn't one of them. What it is, though, is playful escapism that will make you giggle, if not laugh hysterically, every episode. And, if you're lucky enough to watch it with a friend like I am, the source of endless new inside jokes.Totes radicchio!
