The rather casual Oscar Madison and the tidy Felix Unger were friends during their studies and years later by a combination of circumstances come to live together. The idea of letting Felix move in with him soon casts doubt on Oscar, and while he deals with the affairs of his private life, his assistant Dani and long-time friend Teddy have their hands full with his career as a sports journalist. to steer in the right direction. Fortunately, it is not left to Oscar alone to make Felix feel at home. Emily, the girl next door, is eager to help Felix adjust to his new life.

The Odd Couple season 1

I've never seen the original either, so I can't make that comparison. I started watching this when Veronica decided to air this series on Friday nights during the summer holidays. After four weeks, however, they pulled the plug, so I had to watch the rest online.

I had a great time with the first season of this sitcom, but the series clearly needs some time to get going. Ironically, it only really got more fun when Veronica stopped broadcasting (from the episode 'The Wedding Deception'). Matthew Perry is great in Friends and here too he managed to make me laugh for a few moments. I do agree with the above that he sometimes seems a bit tired, but since Oscar is a lamass, he can get away with it. However, it is never entirely clear whether he is doing this intentionally or not. I didn't like Thomas Lennon's character, Felix, for the first few episodes, but this one does really grow over the season. He makes for some really fun situations and his chemistry with Lindsay Sloane (Emily) is also worth mentioning.

Also Dani and Teddy come out better towards the end of the season than in the beginning, although I have to say that I hardly laughed at Dani (and also the sporadically returning character Murph). In that regard, I am curious whether her role will gain more added value in the following seasons. All in all I have to say that I found this a pleasant start to the series. I also get the impression that this is a lot more fun than a lot of the other contemporary comedies that you see on Comedy Central for example. less hysterical; and therefore funnier.

3.5*
