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 Mar 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
