***SPOILER ALERT***
Uncoupled follows Michael Lawson learning how to be single again after his longtime boyfriend breaks up with him with no explanation.
I don't really know how I feel about this show. I don't know if I would watch a season 2 of it. Maybe I would for Tisha Campbell cause she was very fun in the show along with Claire Lewis. I mean I liked it, it kept me entertained. Obviously, I can't relate to it so maybe that's why I wouldn't watch a season 2. The setting of the show (New York) is nice. New York is a great place really. Who doesn't love the aesthetic of New York?
Every episode has a different love interest for Michael to learn from, whether it's how to use dating apps, 21st-century hookups, or actually dating and sharing your life.
The other 2 characters, Stanley and Billy are also fun to watch. Stanley is considered to be old and stuck to his ways. He doesn't go out on dates that often and is mainly focused on work. Billy is a local weatherman and a massive playboy. He's the one that coaches Michael on how to fit in on dating apps and how hookups work nowadays.
The show ends on a sort of cliffhanger, opening up the chance for a season 2. Stanely finds out he has cancer, Billy tries to tone down his antics and be there for his friends, Suzanne finds out the identity of her son's biological father (since she didn't remember who he was), and Colin (Michael's ex) reveals to Michael that he wants to get back together.
Throughout the whole show it was mentioned that people usually get back together and it would be the same for Michael and Colin. So in the last episode, I was expecting that. It just looked like Colin wanted to go back to his old life, with old friends approaching him and actually talking to him instead of shunning him. I could tell that Colin wanted to go back to Michael for a secure life and that was why Colin broke up with him in the first place.
Overall, it was a decent show, maybe not my favorite. The episodic stories were good, telling viewers about what modern-day dating is like for people over the age of 40. I think that's the whole purpose of the show. To show that people can go out and date again after all they've experienced in life. (marriage, kids, career, etc.)
Rating: 6.5/10
