Relationship expert and author Marin Frist knows what women should look for and what to avoid when trying to find the perfect man. But like most experts, she fails to follow her own advice. On the way to a speaking engagement in Alaska, Marin finds out that her fiance has been cheating on her. If that wasn't bad enough, she winds up stranded in a small town filled with what she doesn't need -- single men. With the support of her friends and publisher back home, Marin realizes she's been living with a blindfold on, never taking the moment to stop and breathe.
Men in Trees — Season 1

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Anne Heche acquits herself amiably as a plucky romantic lead, but Men in Trees is too derivative of better, more distinctive shows for viewers to want a timeshare in this Alaska-set sitcom.

Fergus Shiel The Age (Australia) 09/27/2019
On paper, this single-city-girl-moves-to- the-wilds-of-Alaska-to-study-men-in-the-wild sounds like a romantic comedy winner. But [Anne] Heche is more pathetic than loveable as she totters about on stilettos, all at sea in a world without sushi. Go to Full Review Sam Wollaston Guardian 09/27/2019
[Anne] Heche is not an appealing star... On top of that, this show has neither the surreal intrigue and strong characters of Northern Exposure, nor the sparkling wit of Sex and the City. Go to Full Review Hal Boedeker Orlando Sentinel 01/03/2019
Men in Trees lets Heche remind everyone what a versatile, charming actress she can be... She could use some surprising storytelling to go along with the smart talk. Go to Full Review Mike Kelly Toledo Blade 09/27/2019
Men in Trees features intelligent writing and beautifully nuanced characters, neither of which is found on the small screen in great abundance. Go to Full Review Hollywood.com Staff Hollywood.com 09/27/2019
Due to a highly unlikable lead character, this Northern Exposure rip off would be hard to keep watching week after week. Go to Full Review Karin Bishop Salt Lake Tribune 09/27/2019
[Anne] Heche is wonderful as Frist and there are lots of loveable characters. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
