It seems contrived
My impression of the first show was that they were working too hard to bring viewers into an established group of friends, to put the group across and show the rapports between characters. It didn't seem to be representative of the interactions between a real group of friends, or perhaps if representative, representative in hyperbole. I could watch the show without too much pain, but would definitely prefer to avoid it. OTOH, Sex in the City was a favorite, and I found the relationships between the women to be generally believable, even though their relationships with men didn't always play, for me, often. For instance, Charlotte not having sex during the entire first month of marriage, and this other hairy man that she liked but she expected him to remove his hair for social/aesthetic reasons, both of those plot lines were ridiculous, but maybe they were meant to be. If the intent was to be an overt satire about the absurdity of relationships, those two cases would be fits and served their purpose.Getting back to the relationships between the My Boys characters, they aren't a fit for me. Somehow, they have tried too hard.
