Chiropractor and single father Alan Harper lives in a beachfront house with divorced Internet billionaire Walden Schmidt, who bought the house following the untimely death of Alan's brother, Charlie. As they acclimate to their living arrangement, the tightly wound Alan finds himself taking on a mentor role with Walden, whose lifelong dependence on being taken care of has left him a bit naive. Despite his unsuccessful romantic history, Alan also tries to help Walden overcome his limited experiences with dating. Berta, a sharp-tongued, unapologetic housekeeper, is also featured in the series.

Rob Salem Toronto Star Only moderately successful, but did work as a goof on such time-worn CSI tropes. Sep 12, 2018 Full Review Brian Lowry Variety Exhibited a cheeky charm. Sep 11, 2018 Full Review Daniel Kurland New York Magazine/Vulture "Fish in a Drawer" features the obvious sort of pandering that crossovers so often indulge in. Sep 11, 2018 Full Review David Bianculli TV Worth Watching Very funny. Sep 12, 2018 Full Review Kevin Carr 7M Pictures It has really blossomed into its own beast for the fifth season. Possibly one of the dirtiest shows on television with some smart writing that gets it past the censors, Two and a Half Men has really grown to be a funny, funny show. Rated: 4/5 Sep 11, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

FRANCO R One of the best seasons Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/28/20 Full Review Parker F More experimental storylines than previous seasons elevate some of the tired humor Two and a Half Men has grown accustomed too. Nevertheless, it's still got plenty of humor. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/17/19 Full Review Audience Member (all seasons) You can tell by watching Season 1 why this was a hit: a catchy premise, great cast and snappy dialogue contributing to a very enjoyable laugh-fest characterized by remarkable consistency. Even more remarkably, the above goes on for a whopping 8 seasons. Yet, things take an unfortunate turn for the worse after that, ranging - occasional refreshing glimpses aside - from the average yet watchable to the completely formulaic and below-par, and culminating with the ill-advised "meta" finale. Winning? Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Although its not on the same level as Season 4 in terms of storytelling, Season 5 is a relatively humorous collection of episodes that will serve the show relatively well.
