Darren Star, creator of shows like "Sex and the City" and "Emily in Paris", now creates a series combining the elements of those series and finally placing a gay character in the lead. One cannot help but compare "Uncoupled" to those series, as it feels a bit rehashed.
I'm not going to say it's a complete copy, but there are so many similarities, it does feels like a sub-product. I'm not going to say the series is bad - far from it, it's actually very cute and sometimes funny - but once I finished it, I realised my favourite characters were the female characters, who are far more interesting and lively than the actual lead.
Neil Patrick Harris doesn't disappoint - even if he does resort to some unnecessary physical comedy - but Tisha Campbell as Suzane and the always great Marcia Gay Harden as Claire, definitely steal the show.
It's a quick and cute 8-episode series, but nothing more than that.
