Love

It feels like a very realistic romcom at first.. A huge nerd meets a borderline kind of girl with a lot of personal issues.. Then for some completely unrealistic reason the women in the series see him as a very attractive God. He almost stumbles from one girl to the other without doing anything for it at all.. It takes away the whole realistic feel of the series.. but then I saw that Paul Rust (starring role as Gus) is one of the creators and writers of the series.. Not saying anything anymore..

I seriously believe the character of Mickey Dobbs has borderline personality disorder. She shows all the symptoms perfectly. And i can tell this how? Because I've got the same illness. Her addiction to love and sex, her habit of smoking, her narcissism, her wanting to start a fight, blaming others, her careless nature, and the most significant symptom - unstable relationships, all point to borderline personality disorder. I applaud the writers who have really showed what its like to be a borderline and what its like to date one. If anybody have any views or opinions on this?

I like this show because it's not quite a sitcom and it's not quite a drama. It feels very real, like something you've probably experienced in your life before. There are so many little moments that strike a chord with me... The awkward silence after cracking a terrible joke. The exalting victory of the person you like finally texting you back. The struggle of navigating parties where you don't know anyone.

Some people might not like this show because of that rawness, but I for one find it endearing. I love seeing Mickey and Gus' story play out in such an unconventional way. You really do feel sympathy for the characters' successes and failures. Give it a try, because you might find a little bit of yourself in this show.

One of the main characters, Mickey, is just horrible. It's amazing she appears to have friends on this show, because she's super selfish. If people are not talking about what she wants, or when she cannot relate to the conversation, or she's not getting any attention, she just keeps annoying people or even sabotaging the night. It's just uncomfortable to watch. And sure she's a recovering drug addict, but most people don't even know that.

I do kind of like Gus, but then it annoys me that he would go for such a horrible person.

I am still watching this though. I'm pathetic.

I personally loved the first season with memorable episodes, including 'the date', with Birtie and Gus just to name one. So I was looking forward to the second season and it did not disappoint at all! The shows good at what it aims to do. It's not a series for its deep intricate plotting. It's an exercise in character, one that happens to feature truly exciting personalities. Perhaps this is the perfect example where a shows structure is perfect with the balance of bin-gable viewing with it's blended ease. Love has a certain charm to it and each episode feels like a mini-indie movie and by episode 5 your reminded why this series is such a real pleasure to watch! Loved it bring on season 3
