    Mixology has sharp-witted lines that are genuinely funny--if at times highly sexist--rather than being gratuitous, clichés, or too-obvious puns.

    Troubled spirits: Mixology is drowning in them. Save yourself.

    The producers of this series, who include Ryan Seacrest, nonetheless are asking viewers to patiently sort through a lot of characters.

    So far, it's less funny than intriguing, a way to shake up the sitcom.... The series, the first scripted entry from Ryan Seacrest Productions, seems awfully superficial, at least in the first three episodes available for preview.

    Only intermittently funny but unceasingly crass.

    Mixology has a big enough ensemble that it can present the dating game from multiple angles, but almost all of the angles it picks are stale and predictable.

    While some of the flirtatious banter in these random odd couplings can be witty and even winsome, after a few rounds (I made it through three episodes), I was ready to close out my tab.

    There is something mechanical and arbitrary about the plotting, as if a mess of gears that didn't actually go together had been smashed into some semblance of a working order.

    At the end of the night, Mixology doesn’t have a lot of fizz.

    Despite an honest attempt at a fresh concoction, the results taste watered-down.

    A show with a reasonably clever conceit and strong cast but sunk, again, by weak, narrow-minded writing.

(Admission: I am an 80 year old male whose "pickup scene" is currently extremely limited.) It appears that the series may take place in one night at a fairly upscale bar, showing relationships between a new couple each week. The show is written mostly from the young male viewpoint (note the "crass" comments from some critic's reviews). I thought the show was extremely funny with crisply written (if crass) dialog. My wife thought the show was "OK", illustrating I think the difference between male and female perceptions of "Mixology". I will definitely continue to watch the show though I have some question if it will be able to sustain its current level. Full Review »
