Caryn Goldfarb (Becki Newton) ends her engagement and her unromantic relationship. Zara Sandhu (Meera Rohit Kumbhani) paints weird drawings to sell on the streets. Stosh Lewandoski (Zachary Knighton) loses his job and has no place to go. He tricks his gullible cousin Eric Lewandoski (Nate Torrence) to take him in. The two groups live in townhouses next to each other.I like these actors and they are really the only reason I kept watching. It takes a little while to set up the group in the first episode. Basically the group struggles to find their chemistry as characters. I don't think modern sitcoms have that kind of time. They need to begin right from the start as friends. They could always do flashbacks if they need a scene from the past. I think the audience had a tough time figuring out the group dynamics if the characters are still figuring it out themselves. It's 6 episodes and done. I don't think they deserved more in the present day environment.

It might be hyperbole, but I don't think there has ever been a show with such obnoxious and despicable people. All four of them are annoying. The Knighton character actually confesses that he got a girl pregnant and left her. There is no way anyone is going to like him...even scumbags of the world know that is a horrible thing to do. The Torrance character is seemingly unfeeling when the father he has lived with suddenly dies. The Newton character breaks off her engagement to her boyfriend in the most unfeeling and cruel way. The Kumbhani character has a real annoying whinny voice (as does the Newton character). And do the producers think that constant talking about sex is a substitute for comedy writing?

Well first i gotta be honest, this is no way near any comedy i'm used to watch on FOX.For a pilot it started Just okay.. laughed only on the lip reading thingy in the last 3 minutes... but who knows it might get better .. and that's why i will watch the 2nd and 3rd episode before i truly be sure about my judgment here.The idea of The "Weird Loners" is new and has many potentials on TV,, i think the writers should do a better work on comedy and comedy distribution over the episode.The Cast is Fine, Becki Newton is usually funny she's been "exclusive" on TV for the last 8 years so she's kinda pro in these things, i'v watched her on "how i met your mother" and on "love bites" but here still needs more funny dorky lines, as for Zachary Knighton he's good too, In "happy endings" he was amaaazing with that foolish naive character in here they're trying to make him that sexy flirty character well for a guy who watched happy endings for 3 seasons it seems a bit unrealistic :P but again it's still too soon to judge from the 1st 20 minutes.Overall ,, the start was a bit weak ... waiting for the next couple of weeks to see where they're going with this ... hoping it gets better._______________Update_____________________it stayed in the same weak rhythm and it's 90% to be cancelled __________________________________________

Following the end of the much beloved "How I Met Your Mother" I was desperately seeking a comedy with the right amount of 'crazy', funny and stupid and it's safe to say I found it in 'Weird Loners'. After the abrupt end of 'Selfie' which I quite liked we were deprived of the sweet 20 minutes to ponder on life. But there we have it again, a new chance presented to us by this fresh newcomer show, which despite the short run time can both put a smile on our faces and make us think on and maybe even reconsider our life choices. 10/10 from me and I sure do hope they keep it on air for as long as possible, because in the midst of most superficial shows nowadays we desperately need this breath of fresh air!
