Love Life

This series follows the chronological love life of a 20-something in NYC, played by Anna Kendrick, with each episode focusing on a different relationship. It's entertaining enough, and luckily the episodes aren't too long (30 mins) but honestly it's nothing to write home about. It doesn't say anything particularly unique or thought-provoking about love, nor is it particularly funny. Though I've liked Anna Kendrick in other productions, personally she doesn't do it for me here. For a show that's entirely centered on its main character, the main character is kinda bland and a little annoying.

"Love Life" the new romance anthology from "HBO Max" is a little series that's entertaining as it tries to capture the present day journey and trials of love and life of one Darby(the good Anna Kendrick) a "NYC" millennial who as a single girl in the big city has fun as she explores the bedroom with different loves, as her relationships are fun yet messy. Really the series is a take on the highs and lows of life and love. Darby and her friends are still trying to figure out life and dreams, as Darby has somewhat had the cards stacked against her after being a child of divorced parents. She also struggles in the job world often changing jobs as much as boyfriends. Each episode moves forward following a new love in the life of Darby, as always love hurts as it's complex and tough. Still despite the relationship drama the series is fun, soul searching and entertaining.

I like rom com type shows and I love Anna Kendrick, so I enjoyed this show quite a bit. I enjoyed the different angle of this show where each episode is a relationship.

Anna excels as Darby in this show. I especially love the interactions between her and her bestie, Sarah. Great acting on both ladies part.

Each episode had me curious as to what was coming next.

Not sure whats with the hate from the Debbie downers. It had happy moments, sad moments, and moments that make you laugh. It's a romance type story, you just have to take it for what it is.

My only complaint is the end. I wish we'd see more of her and her person!

I really liked the concept of this. As a woman who dated in New York for over a decade until I found the right person (in LA), there are definitely a multitude of different situations and types of guys this could have covered to show how hard dating in NY can be. The first few episodes were great, but once it strayed from the original concept it just became a different slightly less interesting show. Where are all the terrible Tinder dates, or guy who turns out to be married, etc. So many missed story ops. On a side note Anna Kendrick's clothing in this is beautiful, but there's no way that character could afford most of it.

This is a good show. Great characters who are relatable. Gives a snapshot of each relationship Darby (Anna Kendrick) attempts to make work. Her teen years episode was great but so hard to watch! This is well done. Ignore the haters not sure what they expected.
