Naive 20-something Josh Greenberg is in search of love. Things aren't exactly in his favor to find his ideal mate -- for he has a bad job and apartment and is afraid to approach women. But his best-friend/confidant Mike -- his polar opposite -- is a cool, confident bro with an expense account. Mike is also the proverbial devil on his buddy's shoulder, pushing him to engage in activities like sex and drugs. Also in Josh's life is his sister Liz, a corporate lawyer who wants him to get his act together. When Josh does finally find love, he tackles his toughest challenge to date: a serious, long-term relationship and all that comes with it, including anniversaries, merging friend groups, and learning to live their lives as a team.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Amusingly surrealistic and enjoyably odd, Man Seeking Woman is easy to fall for, taking a ridiculously funny approach to a common theme.

Man Seeking Woman too often reminds one of that guy at the bar who is better at the joke set-up than the punchline because it takes SO long to get to it. Go to Full Review David Sims The Atlantic 01/15/2015
Man Seeking Woman has the potential to grow, but it'll get there either by broadening its scope or sympathizing more with its characters. Go to Full Review Maureen Ryan HuffPost 01/15/2015
This new comedy is a prime example of a set of ideas that might have seemed OK in a pitch meeting or on the page but don't really cohere as a television program. Go to Full Review Randy Dankievitch TV Over Mind 03/12/2020
[A] slightly charming, unpolished mix of the absurd and the emotional. Go to Full Review David Bianculli NPR's Fresh Air 05/14/2018
I can't say I'm in love with Man Seeking Woman. But I can definitely say that I'm looking forward to a third date - and that I feel I'm experiencing something truly, and maybe even memorably, different. Go to Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media 01/20/2015
3/5
Jay Baruchel, who's always been the kind of adorable underdog people want to root for onscreen, is the perfect actor to maroon in the bizarro plot twists Man Seeking Woman throws at the audience. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Steph N @RT64687213 05/20/2023 Unbelievably annoying. I stopped watching and thought "what a stupid thing". See more slyc3 @RT13618084 12/09/2022 Besides the one bad episode, this show is really enjoyable. The ending episode aswell was really fun and interesting throughout. See more 05/11/2020 The main Character, Josh, is the biggest LOSER i have ever seen on TV. His character is truly pathetic and i cringe just watching the show. See more 01/26/2018 A bizarre and often hilarious look at contemporary dating, that separates itself from the pack by essentially being a live-action cartoon. There simply are no rules to the world of Man Seeking Woman, with some of the problems that Josh faces this season include dating a troll, misplacing his penis, and misusing time-travel to inadvertently install an evil global overlord. It can be a bit much at times honestly, but the show is also strongest when these outlandish situations act as such potent metaphors for the in-and-outs of modern relationships, and the show is consistently interesting from just a visceral standpoint. It's well cast too, with Jay Baruchel fitting into his typecast as the affable lovelorn dork, Eric Andre working as the ideal comic foil to it, and a whole host of great cameos pop-up throughout the season too. Viewers looking for a relatable show about finding-the-right-one, or those just in search for something a bit different than the norm should find a lot to like in Man Seeking Woman.
