I was looking forward to this but it's painfully bad. Terrible canned laughter every 5 seconds. Awful stereotypical gay 'jokes' that straights will think hilarious.

This show is basically the Golden Girls reinvented, just instead of three elderly straight women, we’ve got three elderly(?) gay guys. With Matt Bomer starring as Rose Nylund. What could go wrong?

Was this written by straight people who think this is what gay people sound like? The laugh track was so awful it distracted from the dead pan delivery of what could on the face of it been witty lines but felt more like another attempt at a strained punchline followed by a laugh track. So bad it seemed constant in the first minute of the episode. I cannot fathom how such talented actors produced such awful performances. The three leads are barely one-dimensional characters that hit every possible awful stereotype of middle-aged gay men in an attempt at already stale punchlines. The bland stereotypes could have been amusing but were flogged to death within the first 5 minutes when finally I had to turn it off as it was clear it would get no better and the laugh track would get much louder and much much worse.

The chemistry is a bit off, especially Matt Bomer. That fake laugh just makes it worse. But I do like the overall writing, story, and punchline. It’s got that Max and David comedy style that I really enjoy. I’m hoping for a second season, but I can’t help but feel like it’s having bad luck like other Ryan Murphy projects lately. It’s not surprising if it gets canceled.

A good effort. Not quite the Golden Girls level yet, but they can still get there in future seasons. Here's hoping.
