Man Seeking Woman is a bit like the Black Mirror of rom coms. Even with the new season’s consistent story arc, each episode is laser-focused on a single issue at hand, and ties together with a thought-provoking, hilarious ending (okay so maybe not 100% the same as Black Mirror).
The show’s balance of the bizarre and the mundane may be at its sharpest yet this season, but it also hasn’t lost its bite.
The third season of Man Seeking Woman proves that man finding woman only opens more doors for the writing staff and continues to make the series one of the funniest on TV and certainly among the most imaginative.
There’s a slow build to each of these bizarre twists that lends Man Seeking Woman an uncommon intelligence.
As a comedy series, Man Seeking Woman is more inspired than it is flawlessly funny. But what it lacks in consistency of tone and laugh-out-loud one-liners it makes up for in sharp writing, acute cultural commentary, gleeful weirdness, and sheer creative balls.
It’s a live-action comedy that often moves and thinks like a cartoon, to great effect.
The result is something refreshingly new, and bafflingly different.
Some of [the often simple but absurd comedy] was lighter in spots than others, but the series has a very distinctive comedic voice and a striking visual approach that it keeps up through the episodes
The show has acting and comedic talents.... The only problem? Too many people won’t “get” it. For those who do, however, it will be love at first sight.
