Modern Love

No wonder this anthology series gather some brand-named actors. Very enjoyable, well written, well directed, not over the top, juat the right amount of smiles and heart warming little stories. It's like the full-course-fine-dining of tv series, the dishes might be small, but they are packed with flavors to satisfy your senses and stomach at the end.

I went into this with a big old chip on my shoulder. I hate the "Love Actually" contrived, everyone is connected in some way storyline. I find it painful. But I had gotten tired of streaming dark British crime dramas and gave it a shot. I almost turned it off in the first ten minutes. Really? They are going to start the series with a lot of actors we've never seen. And then the magic happened. It stopped seeming contrived and became lovely. The characters were good people and I wanted them to be happy. No Hallmark moronic misunderstandings. It's not all hearts and flowers, and I have only seen two episodes, but it made me emotional and happy in a way TV seldom does. 30 minutes is too short............and just right.

I was skeptical but after watching the first few episodes I was hooked. I'm about as cynical as you can get, but this touched my heart. Episode 3 was brilliant and real. I highly recommend.

Being a cynic of love, I had doubts. But it's a rainy day looking for something different, and I wanted to wander from my Always Sunny/Fleabag type shows I love so much.

It's an unexpected view on love, not just romance. The first episode was around a 6 or 7 for me, but as I continued watching I felt more connected to the overall tone. These were stories of just life happening. It wasn't too sugary or sweet, just real.

I have to add, the one with Anne Hathaway started out cheesy but turned out to be probably my 2nd favorite. If you struggle with emotional issues or depression, you'll be glad that story was told!

Why only 9 out of 10? Well, you can't change a cynic in one day. :)

Stuck in bed sick and have binge watched the whole season. I cried, I laughed, I felt all the things. Fully recommend.
