DVD Reviews of Exes and Ohs - The Complete First Season
DVD Review: We can't wait for season 2
Summary: 5 Stars
The first show of on the DVD started off a little slow, but by the middle of the second episode, we were hooked! The more shows we watched in this DVD, the more we began to appreciate how entertaining this show really is. The writing is so well done, it is FAR better than "The L Word". We love the ironic humor in it. We've told several people about this show, and they loved it too. The DVD is so affordable, I would definitely purchase it if you haven't seen it already. I wrote to someone connected with the show to find out when season 2 was starting and they told me sometime in 2010, we can't wait! DVD Review: Enjoyed
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't know what's with the comparisons between this and the L Word like one is a poser or something. It's like saying apples are better than oranges when it's really about enjoying the fruit! I love the stories and acting in these episodes and I look forward to more. Both this and the L Word offer unique voices and perspectives and I especially love the way the characters here are neurotically charming and self deprecating. It is truly another postitive, strong LGBT voice.DVD Review: Nice series
Summary: 5 Stars
Nice series & great actresses but unfortunately there's no season 2 that i would really like to see.DVD Review: Love the series, love the DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fun series. I really enjoy shows that use the technique of breaking the fourth wall.DVD Review: Cute Show
Summary: 4 Stars
This is actually a very cute show. Could it be better? Sure but it's not bad! I would buy the 2nd season.
Description of Exes and Ohs - The Complete First Season
Meet Jennifer, a documentary filmmaker with a vivid fantasy life and a floundering career. Jennifer wants to find Ms. Right. but first she must navigate the rules of lesbian life, most of which she learns the hard way. Fortunately, her friends are there to help: Sam, a sexy commitment phobe who flips women faster than real estate; Chris and Kris, a lesbian couple expanding both their pet accessory business and their family; and Crutch, a young musician who wants to be taken seriously but still has some growing up to do. Surviving singlehood, couplehood - and each other - has never looked quite like this.Six half-hour episodes of Exes and Ohs fly right by in this clever show's first season. Directed by Lee Friedlander, Exes and Ohs humor is a careful blend of satire and sincerity, as mini-dramas in each saga mock elucidate the do's and don'ts of lesbian social and romantic codes. Each of the characters, based on clich?d "lesbian types," explode the clich?s as the characters become rounder. The episodes are "hosted" by documentary filmmaker, Jennifer (Michelle Paradise), who periodically breaks out of character to describe the "rules" of lesbianism, as she learns them. Her best friend and former lover, Sam (Marnie Alton), is a free-spirited, sexy bombshell that provides a foil to Jennifer's tendencies to over-think creative work and relationships. The main story concerns Jennifer's traumatic breakup with Sienna (Darby Stanchfield), and Sam's efforts to get Jennifer dating again. Their network of friends, always gathering at the Beever Caf?, include Kris (Angela Featherstone) and Chris (Megan Cavanaugh), women in matching outfits who run a pet supply and adoption company who yearn for real motherhood, and Crutch (Heather Matarazzo), the budding Ani DiFranco wannabe.
Subtle teasing happens to show these womens' acute awareness of the clich?s surrounding them. To start, in "There Must Be Rules," Sienna has left Jennifer for their couple's therapist. Instead of chiding Sienna for this, Jennifer claims she is destined to become the new couples' best friend, because lesbian exes are above anger and jealousy. In "Cutthroat," Jennifer and Sam feud over a hot billiards player at the local bar, while Crutch gets a new guitar and writes Indigo Girls rip-off tunes to everyone's chagrin. In "Pole Dancing and Other Forms of Therapy," Jennifer discovers therapeutic stress relief in a pole-dancing self-help workshop. Later episodes tackle deeper issues, so that by "What Goes Around," Sam and Jennifer grapple with commitment avoidance, Kris and Chris consider how to get pregnant, and Crutch graduates to role-model status in her community. Since some scenes get overly psychological and borderline corny, it is refreshing to have Sam constantly reminding her lady friends that sometimes women need to stop with the sensitive analysis to "just get laid." Maybe the second season will have more spicy romance.--Trinie Dalton
