Love Life

I am not much of a TV series person, I usually prefer movies but I decided to give this one a shot since Anna Kendrick is one of my favourite actresses out there. I saw the first episode and I thought it was okay, nothing particularly exciting, just a chill rom com but right now I am absolutely hooked. After watching every episode so far I can confidently say that this is a great TV show with great acting and plot. I am not biased, when an actor/actress I love does a bad job I'll be the first to acknowledge it so believe me when I say that Anna Kendrick shines with a hilarious yet partially heart breaking performance and she's a reason alone to watch this. The script is also very interesting with many ups and downs (emotionally speaking) and I am thrilled every time an episode comes out. If you are looking for something relaxing and entertaining to watch this show is for you. If you want something more exciting then you might not be particularly thrilled about this but I think it's still worth watching. Definitely recommended.

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.

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!!!

"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.

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.
