Big feelings, funny moments, and a few love triangles — these shows have it all.

Netflix has always been a spot for love stories — but when it comes to rom-com TV shows, they really know what they’re doing. It’s not just the swoon-worthy moments or the slow-burn romances. It’s the mix of smart writing, funny characters, and great premises (like a rabbi and an atheist who fall in love). Some shows lean into the awkwardness of dating, others go full fairytale, but they all bring something fun to the table. Whether you’re into teen crushes, chaotic love triangles, or adults just trying to figure it out, there’s something in the lineup that’ll hit. So, here are my top seven rom-com TV shows to stream on Netflix right now.

Worry follows two siblings-turned-roommates, one a 28-year-old media employee, navigating an absurd world on the verge of calamity. The book has been described as a “Seinfeldian” novel of existentialism and sisterhood.

Worry was released last week by Scribner and was described by the New York Times as a “fabulous comic novel of young adult angst.”

While there are countless memorable lead characters from TV shows, there are also many cases where side characters were actually a lot more likable than the main one. Among the key elements for a successful TV show is having a main character that the audience can connect with in one way or another, but just as important as a show’s lead character are its secondary ones. Side characters either help push the arc of the main character forward, add conflict to the mix, or serve as support for the show’s lead, but more often than not, these side characters end up stealing the spotlight.

In many cases, side characters become so popular that they end up sharing the spotlight with the show’s main character, and many characters originally planned for a couple of episodes end up staying for longer (such as Chris Pratt’s Any Dwyer in...

HBO has renewed skater drama “Betty” for a second season.

The news comes less than two weeks after the show, which is based on Crystal Moselle’s critically acclaimed feature “Skate Kitchen,” concluded its six-episode, half-hour first season. News of the pick up was announced by Amy Gravitt, executive vice president of HBO Programming.

“It’s been a joy to ride through the streets of NYC with the inspiring women of ‘Betty,’ and we’re grateful to them and to Crystal for sharing their stories and friendships with us,” said Gravitt. “We can’t wait to watch where our beloved Bettys go next.”

Starring Dede Lovelace, Moonbear, Nina Moran, Ajani Russell, and Rachelle Vinberg, who all starred in the original film, “Betty” follows a diverse group of young women navigating their lives through the predominantly male-oriented world of skateboarding, set against the backdrop of New York City. The show’s...

Since making an astonishing debut with 2015’s riveting hybrid documentary “The Wolfpack,” filmmaker Crystal Moselle has continued to push the envelope with her distinctive style, honing her singular cinematic voice while expanding her artistic palette. Her luminous narrative feature debut, “Skate Kitchen” (2018), represented a confident transition from inventive documentary style into a compelling but loosely constructed narrative. For her evocative portrait of an all-girl skate crew, Moselle cast first-time actors primarily on visual style and charisma, then shaped the story around them. The result was one of the best movies in recent memory to portray contemporary, young, adult women with the style and tenacity they deserve.

Shrewdly building on the solid foundation Moselle laid in “Skate Kitchen,” HBO has given the filmmaker a six-episode, half-hour series to further explore her unique cast of characters. Re-titled “Betty,” the show brings back tomboy shredder Camille (Rachelle Vinberg), stoner lothario Kirt (Nina Moran...

“Betty” looks like how being a teenager feels. Shot during a vibrant New York City summer, the show zips alongside its characters as they weave through traffic, across parks, over bridges on their skateboards. When it slows down, it’s to take in the view, have a laugh, shoot the shit. But within minutes it’s inevitably off and running into the blinking sun again, winding down the city streets with such visceral verve that you can practically feel the wind whipping through your own hair through the screen.

From director Crystal Moselle, the new HBO series introduces a group of freewheeling teens who want nothing more than to just skate on their own terms — a surprisingly tall order thanks to the many skeptical dudes surrounding them. Moselle enlists several of the same skaters slash actors she did for “Skate Kitchen,” her critically acclaimed film about a pack of determined,...

Although “The L Word: Generation Q” may have tried desperately to speak to a “new generation” of queer women and non-binary folks, fresher creative voices quickly rose to the top in its place. (Though people still watched). Showtime’s “Work in Progress” was the best queer comedy of the year, Netflix’s “Feel Good” was an unexpected delight, and “Vida” is returning just in time for queer audiences to catch up on the best show about queer women of color on TV. Yet another contender released a promising first trailer today: “Betty” is a stylish and youthful portrait of Brooklyn teen skaters that already appears extremely queer.

The six-part half-hour arrives on HBO from filmmaker Crystal Moselle, who quickly made waves in 2015 with her her riveting documentary hybrid “The Wolfpack.” “Betty” is adapted from her second feature, the similarly hybridized “Skate Kitchen,” which followed a group of teenage girl skaters in New York City.

HBO has dropped the official trailer for “Betty,” an upcoming series that will center on a group of skateboard-loving women as they navigate life in New York City after the events of “Skate Kitchen.”

“Betty” serves as a spinoff to the 2018 film “Skate Kitchen” and will focus on the group’s efforts to stand out in New York City’s male-dominated world of skateboarding. Series stars include Dede Lovelace, Moonbear, Nina Moran, Ajani Russell, and Rachelle Vinberg, who all starred in “Skate Kitchen.” The series, which consists of six half-hour episodes, will premiere on May 1.

Per HBO, the characters are summarized as: “Opinionated and loyal, Janay (Lovelace) is strong willed and stubborn in ways that both help and hurt her. Honeybear (Moonbear) is a quiet storm. Her flagrant style is a ruse; an armor she wears to hide her emotional struggles. Kirt (Moran) is a lover (to the ladies), a...

In real life, the end of a love story is rarely a happy one, which is why perhaps it’s good that Netflix’s “Love” has chosen to wrap things up. The third season of the series created by Paul Rust, Lesley Arfin, and Judd Apatow has always had a grounded, near-cynical take on what it means to seek out romance in modern-day Los Angeles. But the series has always been, like many Apatow joints, easy to consume even when things get brutally awkward, thanks to the pervasive tone of an indie romantic comedy (something that may be the result of its director roster including Joe Swanberg, Lynn Shelton, and Michael Showalter).

Of course, the difference between “Love” and your typical indie rom-com is that with 34 half-hour episodes as opposed to an hour and a half of runtime to fill, the story of Mickey (Gillian Jacobs) and Gus (Rust), two...

The Winter Olympics is over, film awards season is drawing to a close, and it’s time to focus once again on TV premieres. March is a busy month for Netflix, and here are seven new and returning shows to keep an eye out for.

Why Should I Watch It? In Season 1, “Marvel’s Jessica Jones” stood out from the comic book company-turned-entertainment behemoth’s other Netflix shows. Krysten Ritter gave a charismatic, smoky turn in a noir story with shades of superhero stuff. Jones’ P.I. made things fun with her zero-shits attitude, and the dark central story drew audiences into the private life our hero wanted to keep that way. Frankly, I don’t know much about Season 2: By knocking Ritter down from the lead to a co-star, “The Defenders” proved insufferable — get rid of Danny Rand already — so if...

Netflix has released the first Love Season 3 trailer, offering a first look at the final season of the comedy series from executive producer Judd Apatow. Created by Apatow and real-life couple Lesley Arfin and Paul Rust, the series launched in 2016 as a grounded look at the world of dating through the eyes of two characters, played by Rust and Community alum Gillian Jacobs. This trailer kind of traces the story of Rust and Jacobs’ characters a bit before teasing where they’re at in this third and final season, serving as something of a trailer for the …...

The story of Mickey (Gillian Jacobs) and Gus (Paul Rust) is finally coming to an end. The two have been on an up-and-down ride throughout the first two seasons of “Love,” their relationship serving as an honest and down-to-earth look at dating and all its complications. Season 2 left them in a situation that was equally promising and uncertain, and only time will tell whether the two will last as a couple — because in Season 3, their lives are as chaotic as ever.

Relationship status aside, the laughs are sure to continue in the final season. “I am really excited about the third season,” co-creator Judd Apatow said in a December 2017 press release from Netflix. “I think it is our sweetest, funniest season and ends our story in a beautiful way.”

Judd Apatow, Lesley Arfin and Paul Rust have subverted expectations with Love, a thoughtful, funny and fearless Netflix series...

Love is one of Netflix’s finest original comedies. It’s certainly right up there with Master Of None and BoJack Horseman in the category of comedies that aren’t afraid to tackle tough topics.

See related The Last Kingdom series 2 episode 1 review The Last Kingdom series 2: politics, battles and arselings What can we expect from new BBC drama, The Last Kingdom?

The show’s vague title means that Love may have flown under your radar, but it also comes with benefits. Due to the broad scope of its moniker, Love is a show without a gimmick, allowing the writing team to go down any path they wish to develop their characters, mine for laughs and tug on our heartstrings. It succeeds regularly on all three counts.

Netflix’s “Love” may be one of the hardest TV series titles to search on Google. But the folks behind the show still like the title.

“It’s like how I love when I see a diner and it’s just called ‘Food,'” said executive producer Judd Apatow, speaking to IndieWire with stars Paul Rust and Gillian Jacobs. “No need to come up with a fancy name.”

“You can’t get angry,” Rust added. “They’re like, ‘Hey, we promised food.'”

In a similar fashion, with the title “Love,” Apatow, Rust, and co-creator Lesley Arfin have promised to depict that most complex yet most simple of human emotions on the screen. But they don’t promise a happy ending, which makes the quasi-comedy at times a nerve-wracking experience. Perhaps that’s because the show remains firmly grounded in the real world, where happy endings are rarely a guarantee.

If you don't already have your weekend planned, make room for Love.

Love Season 2 premieres on Netflix this weekend and continues the unsettling look into modern day relationships.

Paul Rust and Gillian Jacobs star as Gus Cruikshank and Mickey Jacobs, a couple who fell into each other's lives on during the first season and inexplicably fall in love.

Rust and Jacobs are so natural in their roles it's easy to forget they're actors playing parts, and that's a huge compliment. Love Season 2 continues to bring us further into their world and we feel closer to Mickey and Gus as a result.

As we settle into the second season, Gus still seems sweet, kind and eager to please Mickey. He might be a little bit much of all of those things and in combinations that don't settle well with what Mickey needs.

At the end of Love Season 1, Mickey finally came...

If Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda aren’t reason enough — not to mention the rest of the cast, including Martin Sheen, Sam Waterston, and June Diane Raphael — then know this: “Grace and Frankie” is a living embodiment of progressive beliefs. Not only does the show cover an array of taboo topics from the dramatic weight of right-to-die debates to casually breaking cultural stigmas surrounding post-menopause sex, but “Grace and Frankie” consists of half-hour episodes that don’t adhere to comedic or dramatic formulas. The tone is unique to the series, respecting the characters and building to moments of great power and great humor. So give it a try.

Judd Apatow is no stranger to success -- or the work it takes to get to where he’s at today.

After getting his start on TV as a co-creator and co-producer of The Ben Stiller Show and, later, honing his craft as a writer on The Larry Sanders Show, he wrote and produced Freaks and Geeks as well as creating Undeclared. Though they only lasted one season each, both shows would go on to become cult classics while Apatow largely shifted his focus to film. It was there he found box office success with Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, followed by an era of bromantic comedies with The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up and Superbad.

“I didn’t really plan to do TV,” Apatow tells Et on a snowy day in January -- the first of two conversations that coincidentally happened on snow-filled days during a surprisingly mild winter in New York City. While excited...

Like it or lump it, Valentine’s Day is upon us – and there’s Love in the air.

And we’re not talking about the sickeningly sentimental, schmaltzy kind that’s no doubt populating your various social feeds; instead, we’re referring to the Netflix original series that struck a chord with subscribers last year with a refreshingly frank, down-to-earth look at romance in the 21st century. Told through the lens of Mickey and Gus – Community‘s Gillian Jacobs and Paul Rust, respectively – Love chronicles the unlikely romance that blossoms when a self-confessed sex addict (Mickey) crosses paths with an aspiring screenwriter named Gus. It’s a dynamic that brings a whole new meaning to the term ‘it’s complicated’ and up above you’ll find the very first trailer for Love season 2, which arrives just in time for Valentine’s Day.

For more, here’s the logline: “It’s worth a shot.

Netflix would like to wish a happy Valentine’s Day to all fans of “Love” today, even the messy, complicated, make-you-do-crazy-things variety.

The fastest growing television creator has released the first trailer for season 2 of its popular romantic comedy series, “Love.” The series is created by Paul Rust, (who also stars), Lesley Arfin, and comedy mogul Judd Apatow (“Knocked Up,” “The 40-year-old Virgin”), who serves as executive producer.

The series stars Rust as Gus, a hapless nice guy who falls for perennial wild child and sex-addict Mickey, played with panache by Gillian Jacobs (“Community”). The 10-episode first season was widely praised as an honest and down to earth portrait of modern love wrapped in a fairly simple premise. Critics noted the lead actors as two of the major reasons behind the show’s success, particularly Jacobs and her...

Netflix has ordered a third season of Judd Apatow’s relationship comedy Love, starring Paul Rust and Gillian Jacobs. Co-created and written by Apatow, Rust and Lesley Arfin, Love follows Gus (Rust) and Mickey (Jacobs) as they navigate the exhilaration and humiliations of intimacy, commitment, and other things they were hoping to avoid. This is the first renewal for the series which received a two-season straight-to-series pickup from Netflix, a commitment reserved for top…...

Rest assured, everyone: “The Oa” will continue. The Netflix original series starring Brit Marling — who co-created the show with director Zal Batmanglij — has been renewed for Season 2 (or “Part II,” as it’s officially billed). Netflix announced more episodes are on the way Wednesday morning, but it did not provide an exact number or timeframe for release.

During a press event held in New York, Batmanglij revealed he and Marling have yet to begin working on the next season. However, he was very excited about returning to Netflix for a new installment, especially in comparison to more traditional independent distribution.

“The art house is an elitist idea,” Batmanglij said. “The idea of premiering a film at a festival and only a small group of people see it […] Netflix is the exact opposite, it’s so egalitarian. I’ve done both, and as a filmmaker, Netflix is so exciting to me.
