Amazon has a hit!

[ajblasvegas · 10/10 · 29 August 2014]

Finally amazon has a series that competes with cable. Well written , directed , casted and acted. Makes you can't wait for the next episode. Sarah and Jay are hilarious. At times a little slow to build up to the climax but majority of the comedy is poignant and spot on. I feel I should be sitting at the dinner table with this group. Remember this is not Broken Lizard. This is Jay grown and developed demonstrating his unique sense of humor that only he can pull off in his direction, acting and writing . The cast chemistry works well together making this an entertaining series. I can only imagine the potential of this entire production if allowed to continue to develop the story line and explore each individual character . I want to see more!

Jay, I had such hopes for this one ...

(not really spoilers, but better safe than sorry) About a funny as a colonoscopy, this was a HUGE disappointment for me as it was produced by and stars Jay Chandrasekhar of the Broken Lizard comedy troupe, so I really had hopes for this one. Too many characters to cram into one pilot - you feel like you got to know, much less give a hang about, none of them (and one is so pathetic and annoying, it hurts just to see him on-screen) ... and the only humor in the pilot is either sex (will Jay's character get his birthday blowjob?) or drugs (everyone gets drunk and high at the friends' get-together, which I guess is funny except tanked and stoned they're all still so damn boring). Truly bad, unfunny, and a prime example of the worst of comedies that rely only on sex and drugs jokes to be funny ... and aren't.

Fun show!

I dug the show. It was funny and well written. The dialogue and the jokes were top notch. I found the depiction of friends and married life to be pretty spot on. I also really liked the casting. Jay from BrokenLizard has turned into a good actor. I love Sarah Chalke and would watch her in anything. The guy that played Fred is really good too. I'm really curious to see where his storyline goes. I hope they make more of these. There needs to be more mature/intelligent writing on TV. I'm tired of watching relationship/dramas dumb it down for the audience. This is the first time I watched something and said "Yes, that's how it is!" Friends and relationships are never straight forward. This show gets it. My only criticism is that I want to see more.

Smart, funny and real

[chris_is_right · 10/10 · 1 September 2014]

Really is smart, insightful and hilarious. Any married guy (or guy who has ever been in a relationship) should be able to relate to this show. It's very real and honest and most importantly, it's funny. The situations and conversations are very true and real. It feels like I'm hanging out with my friends drinking wine and chatting. Plus, the actors have amazing chemistry and seem like they've been friends for years. Sarah Chalke is one of the funniest female actors on TV and Hayes MacArthur steals every scene he's in. It's also great seeing Selma Blair back in the spotlight. Her mix of cute sarcasm is quite unique. The cast is a 10 and I can see them all becoming huge stars off the success of this show. Really is like a modern day Thirtysomething or The Big Chill. Great show!

Almost real.

[davekell1 · 9/10 · 20 September 2014]

I liked the show, it felt real.The wife watched it after I did and the we watched it together, she said" its us but rich!" Its not to far out or drama laden to force you to care. Has a nice flow, doesn't jerk from scene to scene showing what each couple is doing at the same time.The writing is subdued and the cast doesn't talk in exclamation points. The only thing I didn't like about it was the wealth of the couples, most people don't live like this. The cast is decent looking but not that reality/movie beautiful. It seems to be a character driven drama not so much a comedy. It wouldn't replace 30 rock or community for me but its a great show from what I saw. Thanks Jay!

YES to Really

[sewb22 · 10/10 · 29 August 2014]

Love anything Jay Chandrasekhar does!!! Thought the couples were so believable and the situations right on point! Sarah Chalke is terrific as Jay's wife. I love how the couples act around each other at the party. The chemistry between all of them was great too! Who hasn't been in that situation? I know I have! Although this theme of married couples has been overdone and sometimes you know whats coming, I thought the couples were authentic and they reminded me of my own circle of friends. The writing seemed right on point of what really happens after years of marriage with kids and friends.I hope Amazon picks this series up! I am hopeful that Jay C. continues to give us more! I want to see more! AMAZON you got a winner!

Boys have bigger boobs than girls, right daddy? Ha-Ha … I died of laughter because I can totally see my kids (in the far future) saying something this utterly ridiculous at the dinner table in public. The show has great fluidity with how the characters interact, the delivery of the lines from these sarcastic elites and I find them to be so endearing and relatable – it gives me a perspective of what I will be heading toward and what my parents must have gone through when I walked in on them – (ahem) – did that thing grownups do but we never speak of. It is original and funny and I am excited to see what holds for this group of friends on their next adventure. Will Selma fess up? And you know Sarah's character is going to rip Jay a new one which will constitute a lot of herbal remedies. Touché blow jobs. A good win for this pilot.

Hilarious, edgy, the comedy we've been waiting for...

[bornplay14 · 10/10 · 2 September 2014]

I absolutely loved REALLY! Amazon Prime Instant Video's new original show is the perfect combination of drama and comedy, with a starring cast that is nothing short of amazing! This is one of Jay Chandrasekhar's best work; delivering an entertaining story about four couples and the real struggles of marriage. Sarah Chalke and Selma Blair make a great leading lady duo, and they shine on camera. Rob Delaney and Luka Jones steal the show with their one-liners and hilarious behavior. From the very beginning, you will fall in love with all of the characters and the twist at the end will have you hooked! REALLY is the next big thing and is definitely the type of show TV/online is missing.

A must see! Original, unique, and hilarious

[w_ramir · 10/10 · 29 August 2014]

This show is very original - I have never seen a show with so much potential for a great season. The pilot really setup for a great season - you have everything from family issues - best friends - dealing with the kids and their curiosity that come out with outrageous questions - hilarity - it's dark and light - you have drama - scandal - it's honest - it encompasses what families and friends go through on a daily basis. I find it easy to relate to and the cast is a huge plus! their delivery on the lines , the subtle hints of comedy, all in all this is great and it truly shows the potential to go far and to become a great show! Everyone go see Really TV on Amazon!!!

Really going to get good.

[namrok1 · 10/10 · 30 August 2014]

Here's what I love about TV: it never knows what it is right away. Remember the first season of The Office? The first season of Seinfeld? If those were all we had to go on, they never would have become the classic series that we all know them as now. They got the chance to grow, though, and I'm hoping Really does, too. Right now? It's just a group of interesting characters and a healthy dose of blowjob humor. There's not really much of a story beyond "what happens when you're married to the same person every day?" but there's room to expand here. I love Sarah Chalke's take on the hot suburban mom and Selma Blair gets to really show her range as a petulant wife after years of playing petulant single women. Based on the cast alone, I can't wait to see what happens when actual story lines get introduced. Also, the running gag that Chalke's character can never decide what to order to drink is so hilarious. Like a baby bird, Really deserves a chance to spread its wings and fly and I hope we all get to see that happen.

A must watch!

[coffeegrl949 · 10/10 · 2 September 2014]

I am a single mom with three insane kids! I love them dearly but at times it can get rough and a glass of wine sure does remedy a long day at work and my kids. This show is great I find it easy to relate to and hilarious. The humor is fresh and engaging, the cast is fantastic and they deliver the lines perfectly, and the couples merging together and just reminiscing is ideal to most adults when having kids. This show has the potential to be my top show to watch in 2014! In the beginning when Jay and Sarah were dealing with the kids, when dealing with my kids there were always those awkward moments of curiosity. Their minds were wander into questions that most cannot prepare for but you just take it as it is and go with it. Jay and Sarah are great on screen and have that spirit of what a good couple is and how they deal with parenting in a funny way - how most should.

There's something about Really...

[diwthomas · 10/10 · 3 September 2014]

An edgy, refreshing take on the "tired" TV sitcom. With an amazing cast of comedy regulars: Sarah Chalke, Luka Jones, Rob Delaney, Hayes MacArthur, Travis Schuldt, Collette Wolfe, Lindsay Sloane and Selma Blair.

This sitcom has hilarious one-liners, a raw honesty of married life, with sarcastic, irreverent humor. But at the same time dealing with serious issues.

Jay Chandrasekhar's classic generation 'X' characters have grown-up, had kids and taken their bongs, garage bands, and bad decisions with them.

I can't wait to see where they go!
