Made for Love

Sometimes a show that doesn't take itself too seriously and is weirdly (sci-fi) fun is entertaining escape from stress. The 3 main characters, Hazel, Byron, Hebert do some really good acting...that made a huge difference in making up for the few cheesy parts (most of the scenes with the nun). I laughed it off or didn't care about it and just let myself be entertained!

3 episodes in, I cannot think of anything negative to say.. The cast is solid, the production solid, the story (get ready) is entertaining, funny, interesting, timely, relevant, well done, well told and, unfortunately in a sense, necessary.

But if you disagree, I'd respect that.

I knew nothing about this show when I started the first episode. I have to say it's quirky, weird, and fun. It has some funny scenes especially when the main character knows her creepy husband is watching. The episodes are not long. Worth the watch if you want to drown out the crazy world and just watch something fun.

This show was so good! A role we actually got to see "the Mother" in (same Actress plays "the Mother" in How I met your Mother). I want to see Christin Milloti in more and I want to see her projects thrive (Another favorite of hers is Palm Springs). Billy Magnussen is truly freaky as a tech mega millionaire Gogol. Such an interesting exploration of relationships, love, and technology, especially in this day and age, and from the perspective of the woman. This show highlights how nuanced interpersonal abuse is, that it is more than just violence and hostile language, but financial and emotional manipulation. So disappointed that HBO didn't give this show a proper chance, or push for it, and that they took it off HBO Max. There are people who like this show (and MINX) and we want to still be able to watch the shows on your platform!!

Hazel's (Cristin Milioti) escape narrative has huge caper energy, but Made for Love has mysteries within mysteries, and they unfold in ways that are alternately exciting, astounding, and creepy. Milioti is the clear standout among an already impressive cast. Even when the deliberately scattered storytelling wears a little thin, she holds our attention with no trouble. Billy Magnussen's Byron Gogol is also delightfully, terrifyingly unhinged. The only thing wrong with this show is its pacing. Otherwise the outstanding cast gives us more than enough reason to keep coming back for those answers and makes Made for Love a solid installment in the techno-dystopic rom-com genre.
