Love Life

The pacing is off and there's some cringy jokes and storylines, but Anna Kendrick and her character's romantic journey provides a solid but flawed television series.

I really liked the concept of this. As a woman who dated in New York for over a decade until I found the right person (in LA), there are definitely a multitude of different situations and types of guys this could have covered to show how hard dating in NY can be. The first few episodes were great, but once it strayed from the original concept it just became a different slightly less interesting show. Where are all the terrible Tinder dates, or guy who turns out to be married, etc. So many missed story ops. On a side note Anna Kendrick's clothing in this is beautiful, but there's no way that character could afford most of it.

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.

Give this one star or ten stars, it does not matter. But if you have the patience to just watch, and you are a real person, this has something. Thank you for making this

"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.
