Lovesick (2014–2018)
3/10
Disappointing
6 October 2015
I would have to agree with the two other negative reviews. Yes, I too only watched the first episode, but to be honest don't really feel a drive to watch any other episodes - doesn't this on it's own mean it was bad? I don't need to have to devote more time to a show that I just don't see would deliver. The idea was great and I even laughed at the first couple of lines which were puns (silly I know). But as the episode progresses I found the main character too goofy and some of the others too stereotypical also to be believable at all. I know shows don't have to be believable but I like them so, especially if they don't particularly gain something from being over the top (think Danger 5 or It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia).

I don't want yet another show playing on stereotypes that have been explored over and over again, especially if it's as corny as this. What's even worse is some of these stereotyped characters would often behave completely out of character for a person like them, only so long as it serves the goofy storyline (best example is the groom who goes from whipped slimy mummy's boy to aloof drunk playboy). I can see some chicks and sentimental detached from reality teens like it a lot though, as it seems to revolve around a guy who wants to do good by his dames and seems to do alright for somebody as inept in communicating as him. I give it 3 as it's an alright production but with a pilot that bad it just won't ever redeem itself.
