Love Life

"Love Life" the new romance anthology from "HBO Max" is a little series that's entertaining as it tries to capture the present day journey and trials of love and life of one Darby(the good Anna Kendrick) a "NYC" millennial who as a single girl in the big city has fun as she explores the bedroom with different loves, as her relationships are fun yet messy. Really the series is a take on the highs and lows of life and love. Darby and her friends are still trying to figure out life and dreams, as Darby has somewhat had the cards stacked against her after being a child of divorced parents. She also struggles in the job world often changing jobs as much as boyfriends. Each episode moves forward following a new love in the life of Darby, as always love hurts as it's complex and tough. Still despite the relationship drama the series is fun, soul searching and entertaining.

To be honest, coming into this I didn't realise it is such a great show. Maybe because of the cliche name or the old school poster art. I thought it was gonna be one of those cheesy rom-com.

But it's not. It's so much more than that. It captures the raw emotions you have at every age. The ups and downs of any relationship. Overall it feels very human and genuine. I especially like the narrator. She always says something so spot on, so inspirational.

I love that the characters grow. They are multi-dimensional. They fall and pick themselves up. Along the way, I really feel the connection with most of the characters. I also like how stories take turns in unexpected ways, exactly like real life.

No matter who you are. You will find a bit of yourself in Darby. You will laugh, cry and get butterflies with her. I want a season 2!!!

I absolutely loved the first season! The second season is good too it was just dirtier from a guys perspective I guess - so wasn't the cute lovey show from season 1 that I expected. Still good just not as good as first season since that's not my typical type of show (cheating and threesome's etc).

This series follows the chronological love life of a 20-something in NYC, played by Anna Kendrick, with each episode focusing on a different relationship. It's entertaining enough, and luckily the episodes aren't too long (30 mins) but honestly it's nothing to write home about. It doesn't say anything particularly unique or thought-provoking about love, nor is it particularly funny. Though I've liked Anna Kendrick in other productions, personally she doesn't do it for me here. For a show that's entirely centered on its main character, the main character is kinda bland and a little annoying.

I like rom com type shows and I love Anna Kendrick, so I enjoyed this show quite a bit. I enjoyed the different angle of this show where each episode is a relationship.

Anna excels as Darby in this show. I especially love the interactions between her and her bestie, Sarah. Great acting on both ladies part.

Each episode had me curious as to what was coming next.

Not sure whats with the hate from the Debbie downers. It had happy moments, sad moments, and moments that make you laugh. It's a romance type story, you just have to take it for what it is.

My only complaint is the end. I wish we'd see more of her and her person!
