Modern Love

Being a cynic of love, I had doubts. But it's a rainy day looking for something different, and I wanted to wander from my Always Sunny/Fleabag type shows I love so much.

It's an unexpected view on love, not just romance. The first episode was around a 6 or 7 for me, but as I continued watching I felt more connected to the overall tone. These were stories of just life happening. It wasn't too sugary or sweet, just real.

I have to add, the one with Anne Hathaway started out cheesy but turned out to be probably my 2nd favorite. If you struggle with emotional issues or depression, you'll be glad that story was told!

Why only 9 out of 10? Well, you can't change a cynic in one day. :)

Anne Hathaway, had an award winning performance in episode 3. Episode 2 was touching, real with a great performance by Dev Patel. I didn't expect to like the series but I love it!!!!!

I was skeptical but after watching the first few episodes I was hooked. I'm about as cynical as you can get, but this touched my heart. Episode 3 was brilliant and real. I highly recommend.

I watched the first episode and cried and felt wonderful when it was over. I believe that is the definition of a "feel-good" story. I watched the second one and now I want to take some time and think about what I've seen and how great the performances are and I want to call my adult daughters and tell them about it and have them watch so we can fan-girl about it. I want to curl up on a cozy couch with a fluffy blanket and cup of tea and box of tissues on a cold afternoon and watch the next episode. It's unexpected, it doesn't follow the path you expect and best of all, it's a master class in subtle, nuanced acting.

Cute anthology series with a great cast and solid writing. Black Mirror mind effs you after each episode, but this show will give you a heart boner.
