I definitely found it realistic and relatable, but I thought the characters were such types, particularly Jonathan Groff. Not types as in bad gay stereotypes, but types as in characters that are a bit tired. Groff's character wouldn't bother me as a supporting role or one part of a larger ensemble, having him as the lead makes him the gay version of Carrie Bradshaw or Ally McBeal or Bridget Jones or...I don't know, your typical white middle-class protagonist who's quirky, and adorable, and sexy, and ohh they go on awkward dates and all they wanna do is find love but they have such a hard time at it. I also thought it took itself a little too seriously in that hipster kinda way.
Having said all that, there is a sense of realism to some of the proceedings that I enjoyed and the supporting cast does a great job with the naturalistic acting. I think it has a lot of places it could go and hopefully it'll develop nicely.
