    Love

    Oh! How'll you find adjectives for each episodes everytime.

    They're all so good. Some people relating to some specific episodes more, while others are meant for maybe some other section of people. But nonetheless, all episodes are gems for everyone to cherish and this is no exception either.

    I'll fail to explain my emotions, so there's no point trying any further..

    Danish or strudel?

    I enjoyed the lighthearted nature of this episode and as someone who is incredibly clumsy, I found it fairly believable that a date could end up in A&E. The only things that bugged me were: her bloody dress (WHY did he use it to cover his arm/WHY did she continue to wear it) and when she asked 'danish or strudel?' and he said 'danish' but she gave him the strudel...

    Surprisingly Good

    It took a while to get into it, but I loved how it grew and honest it got between them. Weather it's friendship or love, it works.

    Male voice

    Every episode of Modern Love so far has been unique and a show I will recommend... Though, one thing intruded on my immersive enjoyment of this episode... Yasmine's, dialogue sounded very male-scriptive... it wasn't a bad or an incorrect scene, but I couldn't help but feel distanced by what seemed like a man writing a woman's narrative. The story felt accurate but it sounded like the writer was told a woman's experience and then wrote it from his own eyes... and missed the deeper female perspective... It felt like an interpretation of the male gaze or a superficial writer... But actors were amazing, good story and better than I could do... Just didn't convince me.

    Dull & Disappointing

    There was no chemistry between the two leads and the story between them wasn't nearly as powerful or poignant as found in earlier episodes. Dull and unmoving.

      When Rob first falls, the cut is on his triceps. Later in the ambulance, the wound has changed places and now it's on his biceps.
    • Quotes

      Rob: What happened with your boyfriend?

      Yasmine: We hadn't known each other that long, and we were suddenly into this really intense thing.

      Rob: That's good sometimes, no?

      Yasmine: Was asking a lot. I was pretty hard to be around.

      Rob: No!

      Yasmine: I think you have a slightly false impression of me.
