I downloaded this series from I-Tunes and the episodes were so good that I couldn't stop watching it. I watched all the episodes in one sitting! What an outstanding series! It's much, much more realistic than the L-Word. It's so nice to see Lesbian characters on television that are like real people, not hollywood actors! I very highly recommend that you watch this series!

Absolutely brilliant. One easily falls in love with the characters, all their quirks and sweet oddities. Much more believable than any other series.
Depicts all kinds of women, not just some standardised "Barbie-lesbian" in designer clothes. The worries, the fun, the friendships and the love seem so real. And I absolutely love this circle of friends, for the way they all are in eachothers lives, without being overwhelming. Also, the tiny bits of neuroticism are truly endearing. It's like meeting a ready-made bunch of new very good friends. Highly recommended!

It was lots of fun watching this. If you're like me, when you saw "The Ten Rules", you thought, 'This is so great, I wish it were longer!' Well, now it is. I love it!!!

These women are more on the real side of L Word; the quality of filming is something less than the big budget L Word, but the story lines are more real. Lifestyle that we can mostly relate to, without the Hollywood non-reality glitz. The actresses are mostly believable, but the couple with the long term commitment is just too sappy and silly. Not enough hot, sexy scenes!! I longed for some of that Hollywood drama!! If you're going to make a "real" lesbian community drama, at least make it extreme in one or two situations...and make at least ONE of them a huge problem instead of a loveable annoyance! Get them drunk and show it, get them jealous and show it, if you want to make it real, MAKE IT REAL! All in all, not too bad and a nice diversion series. Maybe there will be a saeason 2 and they will improve on the "reality" lesbian theme.

I bought the dvd after amazon recommended it, based on my recent purchase of the L-word series, and was pleasantly surprises. The entire season fits onto one disk, so the episodes are short, but surprisingly entertaining. A bit exxagerated, but most topics and situations are very real and the characters, very, very believeable. I found this tv series and the main character especially, to be delightfully charming and real.

It's actually written by a lesbian. No lesbians are killed or go crazy, no straight women playing lesbians are fired, no lesbian love newbies are running to men to learn how to please women, no "bisexuals" kissing girls during sweeps before running back to their men and women who wear clothes you'd might like to wear! At last!! Something lesbians can love! Nice relatable stories and characters w/o over the top drama that makes me hate myself for watching simply because I want to see something portrayed about my community.

Exs & Ohs is an interesting and entertaining series. Having never seen the show before I purchased this series, I was expecting something along the lines of the L Word. There were some similarities, but overall it was quite different. It is a less glamorous look and the lives of gay women. Some of the acting is less than perfect, but the story lines are quite humorous.

It's safe to say that this show it not up to par with the L Word, which sets the benchmark for other lesbian shows. However, I still enjoyed watching Exs and Ohs as it provided quite a few laughs and it kept me interested enough to watch it twice and look forward to the next season. The plots are more light-hearted than serious, but it doesn't take away from its value. If you don't mind some comedy with a few cheesy/cute moments then you will like this series.

I was skeptical when I saw a preview for this show Online. Then again, I decided I wouldn't be ignorant about it and just watch at least one episode. Boy, did I fool myself long enough? I absolutely love this show. I love it's simplicity. It's easy to follow each of the characters and their lives without being overloaded with useless story lines. Example: The L Word. Whoever reviewed this show saying they only watched it because there is lesbians in it, is a stupid remark. That's like me saying I only watch this show because Bob has black hair. Nevertheless, if you like watching The L Word, then you'll absolutely love this show!

Less is more.

I bought the DVD with, of course, no expectation because I don't hear much from the Series before but I wanted to give it a try. The Series is short (damn it!) with good and funny storyline and there are cute and likable characters. The casts in the Series (I heard) are gay in real life. Give it a try, it's great!! I want season 2 now!!
