"I don't think it's funny; I think it's sad," someone says near the end of the premiere, and as happens frequently with new shows, it sounds too much like self-criticism.

"Hung," it must be said, is less than advertised.
June 28, 2009
Amidst all the sniggering humor about how Ray has been taught to "do your best with the gifts God gave you" is some smart comedy about the state of 21st century America in general, as well as a superb lead performance from Thomas Jane.

The series needs to commit: Either evolve into a funny, sexy stud-romp or hang it up.
June 28, 2009
HBO bills "Hung" as a comedy, but it uses comedy the way it uses sex - to set up darker, more interesting and complex points. It's amazing how many of those are out there.
June 28, 2009
"Hung" is not a laugh riot.
June 28, 2009
Hung is littered with cheap, mincing stereotypes.
June 28, 2009
Being a comedy about the male anatomy-a farce with a sensibility both mordant and whimsical- Hung delights in its phallic symbols.
June 28, 2009
If you can get past the title, "Hung'' does offer a warm portrait of underdogs, as well as another piquant moral quandary for viewers.
