 The series was initially criticized, being negatively compared to several similar "relationship sitcoms" that had premiered earlier in the season (all canceled at the end of that season) - "Perfect Couples", "Mad Love", "Traffic Light" and "Friends with Benefits".The series also drew comparisons from the hit 1990s sitcom "Friends".However, as the season progressed, the reviews from critics became much warmer - with some admitting that it had grown on them and that it had improved since the pilot.
