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

    It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

    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.

    Just finished watching Mixology. Loved it. It was canceled after just 1 season but I think it just aired on the wrong network (its on Netflix now). Its a very funny and entertaining show with a great cast and clever writing. It's about 5 men and 5 women in a bar all trying to get laid by last call. Don't take it too seriously though. The show is meant to be taken with a grain of salt. If you enjoy satire and grew up watching sitcoms, definitely give this show a try. 7.5/10I hope they pick it back up again on another network. Maybe HBO. FX?Not sure how they could keep it fresh though. They would have to make it an anthology series and get fresh actors, new scenarios, new bar..etc. I really love Maya and Tom together. As well as Bruce and Jessica. Great chemistry.

    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.

    I would have given this series a 9,4 out of 10 because of the smart and enjoying comedy. We all have these friends or we are like these people so we recognize things about ourselves in them.This is a series about people trying to get laid in a bar. They all use different methods and all have different personalities but the bottom line is to get laid before last-call. So if we go through the men, the series has one guy who doesn't know anything about women, one who thinks he knows everything, one who truly believes you can find "the one" (and he has many times...), one hot bartender who simply lives without thinking because there's no need and one rich guy who lost most of his money and is now doing online dating. They all choose a girl fairly quickly but no one is sure since they seem to find a connection with other people as well. So some guys seem to get more than one girl and some seem to get none and we'll see who ends up with who.(didn't feel like going through the girls since they are too complicated)
