Joe, Terry and Owen's college days together seem a long time ago, even though the succeeding years have passed quickly. Still best friends, they have formed a different bond, with all the changes and challenges of midlife, as they lean on one another through the second act. Slightly neurotic and a recently separated father of two, Joe once harbored dreams of pro golf stardom but now owns and runs a party store; perpetual bachelor Terry, laid-back and handsome, has breezed through life (and ladies) as an actor, an office temp and a yoga instructor; and Owen is a stressed-out husband and father who works as a car salesman for his overbearing father.

You'll have to decide for yourself if Men of a Certain Age is fun, but it's certainly better than the many shows these days that make a job interview seem like a fine old time. Go to Full Review Ellen Gray Philadelphia Inquirer 09/25/2019
[T]he writing for Joe and Owen only seems to get better, no doubt in part because the characters have been given connections that go well beyond one another. Go to Full Review Megan Basham WORLD 09/25/2019
Though it poses problems far more relevant and relatable than all those high-concept shows, it's clear the men behind it don't have the first clue about how to fix them. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
