	Author	Review
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"Jane and Adams' interplay, the willingness to let the story gradually unfold and the project's disarming sensitivity (...) helps elevate 'Hung' well above its gimmicky title"	POS
United States	Paige Wiser Chicago Sun-Times	"'Hung' is worth watching. There are worse ways to spend your nights than with Ray Drecker: male prostitute"	POS
United States	Tim Goodman SFGATE	"The pilot (...) is superb, and the first handful of episodes (...) prove that the writing is consistently strong, the characters multidimensional and the tone assured and surprising in its depth"	POS
United States	Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times	"Despite some less-than-stellar story lines (...) Ray comes across as a genuine Everyman. Who just happens to have a certain God-given talent that will allow him to survive"	POS
United States	Alessandra Stanley The New York Times	"While it sounds like a one-joke conceit, and a sophomoric one at that, this HBO series is oddly beguiling, a downbeat screwball comedy in R-rated clothing"	POS
United States	Robert Bianco USA Today	"Its virtues have been buried under the kind of meandering plots and underpowered dialogue that mark so many TV comedies these days, which seem unable to decide whether they'd rather be unfunny comedies or insufficiently serious dramas (...). Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly	"Thomas Jane is a revelation--he plays hopeless haplessness without coming off wimpy, and his initial uncomfortableness as a pro gigolo is charming. But 'Hung's' awkward tone becomes frustrating"	NEU
United States	Maureen Ryan Chicago Tribune	"'Hung', despite some droll humor and the occasional dry insight, is even more of a disappointment"	NEU
United States	James Poniewozik Time	"I feel that there's a really good dark comedy about the decline of the American dream struggling to emerge from the often-forced plots"	NEU
