The show stars Matthew Perry as Oscar Madison, a sports radio host who is recently divorced and messy, and Thomas Lennon as Felix Unger, a fastidious and uptight newspaper writer who is also recently divorced. Oscar and Felix become roommates after their wives kick them out, and their clashing personalities lead to many comedic situations.

Throughout the show's two seasons, conflicts arise between Oscar and Felix as they navigate their new living situation. Felix's perfectionism clashes with Oscar's laid-back attitude, creating tension in their relationship. Despite their differences, however, the two men share a deep bond and are always there for each other when one of them needs help. The Odd Couple is filled with witty one-liners and physical comedy. The show's humor is derived from the contrast between Oscar and Felix's personalities, with Oscar often making fun of Felix's uptight nature. However, the show also tackles serious topics such as divorce and depression, adding depth to the characters and their relationships. The show received mixed reviews from critics.
