The premise of an attractive group of friends living and loving in the Big Apple is not exactly a novel idea, but there's always room for a series that resonates with a distinctive new take, a unique perspective or memorable characters. Unfortunately, this isn't it.
Time:
Tom, a supposedly individualistic tastemaker, is about as edgy as a pair of pleated khakis. (He loves Bob Dylan and hates Hanson! Risky!)
St. Petersburg Times Floridian:
Love Monkey is based on a book of the same name by Kyle Smith about character Tom Farrell "navigating the tumultuous and highly amusing waters of work and dating in New York City," CBS says.
Yeah. Not so much.

In movies, there is usually an inverse correlation between "How good the book was" and "How much the movie sucked."
If that also holds for TV, I am going to have to read the book, because it appears to be better than, "Look Homeward, Angel."
For one thing, the omniscient narrator device is de riguer in a book, and not annoying as it is in "Sex and the City" and this, its malicious offspring.
