Episodes
Two oddball millennial pals navigate the egocentric culture of Los Angeles together in the series premiere of this comedy.
It's Benji's birthday and Esther and Jeff take him on a road trip full of fun stops along the way. However, Esther's ulterior motive threatens to derail the celebration.
After visiting a fertility clinic to freeze her own eggs, Esther plans to donate some of her eggs to offset the costs. Meanwhile Benji's paternal instincts kick in as he awaits word on a sperm test.
When Esther and Benji stand in line for a Kylie Cosmetics pop-up store, Esther tries to avoid the distractions of rabid teenage girls and cutthroat moms while Benji roams off and becomes the man he really is - a guy who owns a saltwater aquarium. (Guest starring Bobby Lee of "What Would Diplo Do" and "Love," Chelsea Peretti of "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" and YouTube celebrity James Charles.)
When an aggressive woman won't leave Benji's brother, Dean, alone, Benji hatches a plan to help her get over Dean: post photos online to make it look like Esther and Dean are dating.
When Esther invites a lesbian couple from her building over for a dinner party, Benji has to help out so she doesn't embarrass herself.
When Esther freaks out about "the Big One", so Benji dismisses her Midwestern panic; and Benji gets sucked into the earthquake apocalypse freak out of one of his sister's friends.
Esther throws a sober sleepover party to rekindle friendships that she made at a bachelorette party. Meanwhile, Benji tries to move a childhood camp friend out of the friend zone.
Benji is excited when he is given the opportunity to accomplish a goal that dates back to his old ska band days: to make a music video.
While Benji manages his brother Dean's apartment complex, both Benji and Esther get swept up in the allure of retirement life, until realizing it may not be all it's cracked up to be. (Guest star Pauly Shore)

Critic Reviews for Alone Together Season 1
All Critics (13) | Top Critics (7) | Fresh (8) | Rotten (5)
Alone Together otherwise can be pretty good company for the most part.
"Alone Together" skates very close to being too annoying, but never loses its appeal, because of the writing, of course, but also because Povitsky and Aflalo are fully credible at all times....
The second this relationship got well and truly complicated, it would be a parade of dysfunction. It's not a will-they-or-won't-they, it's a they-won't-and-thank-god.
It's not that Povitsky and Aflalo aren't funny. They are. And some of the one-liners are fantastic...But overall, the show has a tedious vibe.
Unfortunately, their vapid obsession with looking and being perfect quickly grows tiresome in the premiere, which has few laughs. Still, while the tone may be a little grating, the pair has good chemistry and timing.
The characters are hard to invest in, the relationship is really hard to invest in, and the show offers no narrative propulsion aside from their cutesy, vulgar dynamic.
"Alone Together" shows what it's like to be on-the-outside-of-cool-looking-in and how truly uncool that can make confidence-free - but funny! -- people feel.
Underwhelming sitcom centers on platonic millennial BFFs.
Besides being mean to each other, and themselves, Povitsky and Aflalo are great at throwing away character information through dialogue.
It's a slyly ambitious show - and an especially odd fit for Freeform.
Benji Aflalo and Esther Povitsky have pretty good chemistry as best friends navigating their fraught social lives as millennials in Los Angeles on the new "Alone Together" (Freeform, 8:30 p.m.).
The two have so much loathing for themselves, Alone Together can be downright depressing. Just the quality you don't want from a sitcom. You might end up hating yourself -- for wasting your time.
Audience Reviews for Alone Together: Season 1

Dec 09, 2019It's really funny but aimless. If you're looking for a strong plot or admirable characters, this isn't a show for you. It's about self aware narcissistic and directionless millenial dumpster people (pretty sure they decribed themselves as that). It has some really sharp and quick witted comedy Most episode plots feels more like a general idea to have comedic dialogue and almost an impromptu feel to everything. I really enjoyed the banter between Benji and Esther. But I can see why other people don't like it.

Nov 27, 2019The creators (Lonely Island) are fluent in comedy and I do like Esther. Benji plays everything so flat it often misses but have had some good laughs while watching.

Jul 13, 2019This is the first Rotten Tomatoes review I've ever written. I'm not one to write reviews, but I had to stand up for this show. I loovvveeddd this show. It's subtly hilarious, dealing with the often ridiculous issues that millennials face. It's a show that makes it fun to laugh at yourself, your friends, and/or the pressures of society. It reminds me of a Curb Your Enthusiasm for young people. I hope a streaming network picks this gem up! It's a shame to let this show end after two seasons just because it didn't have the correct age-appropriate target audience on Freeform.

Sep 28, 2018I adore this show, it actually reminds me of me and my best friend. The humor is so dry and sarcastic (in a great way) but still manages to be lighthearted and fun. Its so easy to see that Esther and Benjis have a real genuine dynamic and care a great deal about each other even though they dont often verbalize it. I love how refreshing it is to see a male/female friendship that is genuinely platonic and no forced unnecessary romance. This was my best friend and Is favorite show to watch together because it reminds us so much of our own dynamic. I REALLY hope it gets a season three, it definitely deserves it!
