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'm a 33 year-old male, but it's not just my age. It's the REALNESS that comes from the characters, the writing, the direction, the casting, the stories.

Every show/movie in this genre tries to capture the awkwardness, the weird stuff (especially misunderstandings), the ups and downs that happen on a regular basis when you're just trying to live your life and navigate the craziness. This show does it more accurately and effectively than any show I've seen.

It's so well done that you can be a part of, and FEEL, everything. And this show makes me FEEL great! (Like how the intro to the Simpsons made me feel - an escape, levity, optimistic, happy).

Everything is tight. Every second has something to offer.

I miss it already.

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

I can't believe how many reviews here try to sum up this show with comments like "awful people", "awful characters", "he or she is this or that". How so many people can just miss the point of this show is unbelievable to me.

The beauty of the show and characters is the fact that no-one is perfect and that we are all flawed. How many people do you know in real life where their lives are flawless? How many of our lives have a resolution to every mistake or situation we have ever found ourselves in?

This show is excellent. It's funny. It's moving. It has pain, and regret, and love, and frustration, and stress, and annoyance, and respect, and regret and passion. As fictional as it appears, it does an amazing job in resembling all of our day to day relationships, while providing the viewer with the escapism and fun we need from just sitting back and watching TV.

I'm writing this review after a few beers, but a man is at his most honest when he's less than sober (ironically), but this this show has been my favourite show for a long time and people need to look past some idiotic reviews in here. This show works. The script works. The cast works. The director works. The soundtrack works. This shows is flawless. Just sit down, and watch it.

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.
