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 went into this with a big old chip on my shoulder. I hate the "Love Actually" contrived, everyone is connected in some way storyline. I find it painful. But I had gotten tired of streaming dark British crime dramas and gave it a shot. I almost turned it off in the first ten minutes. Really? They are going to start the series with a lot of actors we've never seen. And then the magic happened. It stopped seeming contrived and became lovely. The characters were good people and I wanted them to be happy. No Hallmark moronic misunderstandings. It's not all hearts and flowers, and I have only seen two episodes, but it made me emotional and happy in a way TV seldom does. 30 minutes is too short............and just right.

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.

Stuck in bed sick and have binge watched the whole season. I cried, I laughed, I felt all the things. Fully recommend.

This is an amazing show for more mature audiences. Each love story is special, and each love story is quite different. I say it is best for mature audiences in that if you have experienced a good amount of life you will at least identify with the characters, and you likely will have a number of knowing smiles and nods as the characters navigate the difficult waters of love. By the way, I'm an older motorsports lovin' / football watchin' redneck guy from Texas, so if this series could move me to dust off my IMDB password and log in to submit a review, it must indeed be a special little show!

It gives you a feel of faith in life and relationship. It brings back the feeling of pure love; the same emotion I used to have when I was a teenager. Thanks for this wonderful stories.

Still very unique, but season 2 was kind of a disappointment. Didn't like it even half as much. Felt like the ball was dropped on season 2 in some way.

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. :)

No wonder this anthology series gather some brand-named actors. Very enjoyable, well written, well directed, not over the top, juat the right amount of smiles and heart warming little stories. It's like the full-course-fine-dining of tv series, the dishes might be small, but they are packed with flavors to satisfy your senses and stomach at the end.

I loved every episode. It was all so beautiful and so human. The music made everything even better. I loved the intro, and never felt like skipping it. The couples are all so lovely. The setting, and the conversations felt so real. Perfect timing for each episode as well. Can't wait for season 2! Thank you!

Season 1 was fantastic! Season 2? Eh.

Clearly a loss of focus here. Season 1 was SO well-done and ingenious, but Season 2 is proving to be the red-headed step-child. Super lackluster (no offense to red heads or step children, it's still firey), and it just doesn't garner the same storytelling and finesse of the the first season. Still working on it, but it so hard to get through because of it's faults. Dull storylines and uninspired writing are the beasts of Season 2. But I don't discount the fact that there are bouts of fantastic direction that carry the stories through. Overall disappointed in season 2, but Season 1 was so fantastically contrived that I can't dismiss the fact.

The title of my review says it all. Season 1 was impactful, beautiful, and it loosely connected all episodes of the season in a thoughtful and artistic way. Season 2 was disjointed and just lacked the emotional punch of season 1. I appreciate that not all the stories have a happy ending, but some eps in season 2 had no ending at all; they just......ended. Some episodes were just vapid and felt like filler. So disappointed in season 2! The episode with Minnie Driver was the most impactful, but ill-paced. The episode with Kit Harrington was the most interesting, but it lacked resolution. I was hoping all season 2 episodes would somehow tie together or offer some glimpse of resolution like in the last ep of season 1, but they didn't. I feel sort of silly because I recommended this series to so many people, but season 2 was such a let down.

It's so nice to watch a new show that is truly just heartwarming. Each episode had me so emotionally invested in such a short amount of time. So nice to finally watch a show were you don't have to expect a sad or miserable le ending & instead were always left with a happily ever after. This show made my heart truly happy & the way every episode came together in the end was so beautiful.

I've only watched the first three episodes so far, but this show really surprised me. The storytelling and casting is fantastic! I love that they're all standalone stories... too good to binge watch! I feel like I need to soak each one in!

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.

Right amount of warmth this fall needs. Appreciate every perspective of love!

The first season of Modern Love was great in its stories, acting and directing. The best part of season Two is the theme song. After that, everything goes downhill. The stories are for the most part cliche, the acting a yawn, the plot lines tenuous. Many of the actors are miscast so there is a lack of authenticity to the characters they play. It's an inclusive cast but I felt that they forgot to include the viewer.

Because it's too awesome. I didn't want to finish it so fast!

Highly recommended.

My wife and I found this show when it first came out a couple years ago and loved it. Very sweet, romantic stories and they did a nice job tying them all together at the end. So we were excited for the second season when it came out and watched it over the weekend. Unfortunately the quality has dropped off significantly and most of the episodes were downers. The season also felt disjointed and there were episodes that literally ended with someone talking mid-sentence. So a 10 for the first season and maybe a 5 or so for the second and that's being generous. I hope they rebound for the next season and maybe we'll give it a try.

Loved almost every season 1 episode. Season 2 episodes were either just okay or bad...of which both are a waste of time. Disappointed and did not finish all the episodes.

I was so looking forward to the second season but I did not enjoy the majority of the episodes. Most seem to have no ending or resolve of the situation that was the plot. The stories went on and on and on and we're very repetitive. I watched each episode hoping for an interesting story but the season did not deliver.

I like the story, the photography, editing, wardrobe. Loved the characters. Well directed.

Show all the episode 😈 romanticize yourself..such a mood changer
