Another show where baby talk is thrown into the mix. Whatever original or quirky there was about Love was, as frequently happens to any decent tv shows, obliterated by the most obvious, boring, predictable cliche in the history of love stories on tv: babies.

And when's all said and done: did we really need the recovering alcoholic to throw a tantrum because her jerk of a boyfriend she's known for 5 minutes isn't yet sure they'll ever be "ready" for a child? Why should these nut jobs even be made to think about being parents??? It ruins a decent show and it's also pointlessly infuriating!!!!!!!!

Whenever they focussed on the Japanese protagonist, the story more or less got interesting. The French lead though is an unlikeable character, whose story is built on a series of very tired cliches around the apprentice kind (remember Karate Kid)? She also seems to be learning all there's to know about wines around the world, in a month. She also appears to have retrained her neurological responses to food and wine in a matter of a few sittings with some sort of psychologist. The whole story is completely unrealistic and hard as I wanted to accept the premises, the series just kept on becoming more and more cliche and utterly, utterly predictable.
