The Exes

The Exes has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available in Australia on Amazon Prime Video, and in the US on Paramount Plus Premium. Every one of its 4 seasons holds up. With 58 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Donald Faison sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. Start it on Amazon Prime Video whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

The Exes is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. The Exes does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. A sitcom about three divorced men sharing an apartment across the hall from their female divorce attorney, who is also their landlord. Between them, Donald Faison and Wayne Knight carry the comedy without ever forcing it. The series ran for 4 seasons (2011–2015), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. What keeps The Exes from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, The Exes respects your intelligence. If you have already watched The King of Queens, The Exes is a natural next step. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week. Donald Faison is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.

The Exes wrapped up in 2015, created by Mark Reisman — and 4 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
