Masterful Movie

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

After reading a lot of the other reviews I've decided to preface mine with this: If you are incapable of appreciating some satire satire, don't bother watching. If you expect every TV show to be a perfect representation of real life, or close to the other end of the spectrum: you expect all TV shows to not contain any representation/depiction of scummy/misogyny that occurs in real life in any way other than damning it then again, don't bother watching. However, this is nowhere near Blue Mountain State misogyny. Mixology takes a different approach to the traditional sitcom format. The entire one season series is contained within one night at a seemingly popular bar in NYC. While the characters are somewhat exaggerated representations of the average individual, I don't think people really watch TV shows because they're average. Nobody lives the life of Ted Mosby from HIMYM, or Joey in Friends, so yeah its a little cheesy and exaggerated but I would attribute that primarily to the fact that they had to fit a great deal of character development. I think this choice of format was a fun approach, rather than make season after season with at least the occasional filler episode, the creators of this show sought to portray what I would call the dating condition as opposed to the human condition. The characters are funny exaggerations of people we (or at least I) know. The show follows these individuals through one night at the bar. Each episode brings you into a different level of depth in the characters, and yeah most all of the characters have some less than desirable trait(s), some of which may be found as offensive. This is where I say you can argue that the show is actually a little more realistic than most sitcoms; most of these characters aren't super likable a lot of the time, but guess what? There are a lot of not super likable people. Not every sitcom has to have all highly likable characters. Overall points to note: Will you be dying of laughter the whole show? Perhaps, it would depend on your sense of humor and I suppose potentially having an interest in psychology or sociology would help too. I don't however feel that the only goal was to entertain in just a comedic fashion. It's an entertaining take on what could be considered years of bar experiences compressed pretty smoothly into one seasons worth of television. For what it is I truly enjoyed it. The show doesn't follow same old same old sitcom formatting or goals, I think if your open minded about that fact then you'll enjoy this show as well.

Every person who says this show is terrible just doesn't get it. It's not supposed to be some high brow nonsense, its fun, and cheesy and kinda cliché and tongue in cheek and THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT AWESOME. It is an interesting concept and is fun to watch the night pan out and learn more about these characters, however ridiculous they are. I do believe this is a show that is best watched in one/two/three sittings as opposed to once a week. Its on netflix so get on it. Just watch it and give it a chance; if you don't like it then you are a dowdy unpleasant person with no sense of fun. Or you just don't like it and that's cool too. Either way, I think it is excellent.

If you like satire and understand the dating scene when going out, I think you'll enjoy this show. It isn't a realistic depiction if what happens but shows you the funny side of things when meeting new people or running into ex's.A lot of reviews say it is dumb, bad, and without content. The entertainment that comes from this is subtle, reading in between the lines, and understanding everything behind it.I can agree with them on one thing, it is a simplistic view of night life. I love it as it basically makes fun of it. So if you go out at night and have a good amount of experience mingling with the opposite sex, I think you'll find those show a funny way of passing the time.

Why I gave 9 out of 10 for this show? Because it's something new, and funny. As a TV series addict, unfortunately I can say that there are no more shows like that nowadays ( except for a few ). The cast is not that famous, but In my opinion, that made each character unique, showing that they're even better than the if there were a famous cast. What's special about mixology is that everything that happens in the show is somehow, true, maybe sad, but true. It's a funny kind of truth that makes you have some dejavus remembering situations in your life. Awesome show, watch it. You won't regret it.It's in the beginning, but it has a great future ahead.
