Having just finished watching the first season of this magnificent TV Series for the second time around i found myself finding it funnier than the first time i watched it. I found the story/plot of this season to be very simple and easy to follow, making it a very enjoyable show to watch.
During this first season you are presented with the impression that Uncle Charlie is a man who only cares for himself and that neither his brother Alan, or nephew Jake are of great importance to him. However, as you continue watching through the episodes you soon pick up on the loving and cheeky relationship between Jake & Charlie. You soon realise that there is more to Charlie Harper than first thought.
Whilst the three main characters work superbly well together it is the addition of the support cast that bring the whole package together, featuring an overbearing mother figure that only ever bring Charlie & Alan misery, the ballsy house keeper, Berta, who's rare apprences always manage to add a cheeky and more often that not, truthfully abusive set of jokes. Then we come to Judith, Alan's ex-wife & Jake's mother. Whilst having an on-again-off-again rapour with Alan, there is always a sense of distance between her and Uncle Charlie, providing for very funny and often witty snide remarks. Finally we come to Rose, one of the many women Charlie has had a one-night-stand with, only this time he hasn't managed to get rid of her quite as easily as the others. Living just two doors down from Charlie's beach house in Malibu, Rose's obsession with Charlie becomes a regular occurance throughout the season, providing many laughs and jokes for us the audience to enjoy.
I found this first season a really enjoyable show to watch and am more than excited to watch the second to see how the characers develop. I would recommend this to anyone who previously enjoys/enjoyed watching shows like Friends, How I Met Your Mother & The Big Bang Theory as i would say the comedy is of that nature and so easy to follow that you fall in love with the characters so quickly.
