Alex (Amanda Peet), a recently divorced, high-strung lawyer, moves into a smaller house in Venice, Calif., with her daughter, Charlie, and hires Pete (David Walton), a recovering gambling addict, to renovate her kitchen. Pete, a charismatic womanizer who lives with his perpetually unemployed father, knows that the remodeling job is his last chance to prove he's not a screw-up and jumpstart his life, but he is unprepared for the force that is Alex. The two surprisingly each find a match in the other and strike up an unlikely relationship.

Bent entertained while it lasted, a light, heartfelt little comedy that wasn't the funniest or best written show, but a solid comedy with some great potential. Go to Full Review Carina Adly MacKenzie Zap2it.com 03/21/2012
The leads are strong and immediately likable, but the heart of the show is in its supporting characters. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
