A fantastic show overall, but damn it needs a 4th season. I know the 3rd is meant to be the final season but it just feels like there is still more of a story to tell. Despite that however, I think this is such a hidden gem of a show and I adored it!
Love is just the worst title for a TV-Series, but overall it was solid with a few subtle laugher. And I totally love Gus' Personality.
I enjoy the show, but as some other commentators have pointed out, some aspects are pretty unrealistic. Don't get me wrong, I think the nature of romantic relationships are portrayed well. Its just that Paul Rust isn't some nerdy guy who is secretly attractive like Benedict Cumberbatch, or super funny like a Michael Cera, or really witty like Jesse Eisenberg in the Social Network. The guy not only comes of as super dorky, who thinks knowing a lot about pop culture is a substitute for a personality, but he is also just unfunny and annoying. Yet in the show the guy is beloved by everyone, especially women, who all immediately are obsessed with him and want to sleep with him. It seems if Paul Rust thinks of himself as one of those types that I mentioned above, and made a show portraying himself as one of these dude, even though he is very much not one of these dudes. Otherwise I really enjoy the show, its just every time his name pops up as the creator/producer I can't help but feel like, oh that's why. I think a show like Pete Holmes Crashing does a way better job of portraying real life situations for Pete.
Also not to hate too much, but Love is a terrible title. Need to be more creative than that.
"Obnoxious and Unlikeable People Who Aren't the Least bit Funny"
"30 year olds who act like 18 year olds."
this hit the spot right.
It's a weak show, but it gets better towards the second half. Another one in a recent trend of "comedies" that follow utterly unlikeable people that the audience is supposed to identify with through cringe-y situations. Saved by Gillian Jacobs' performance, primarily. It occasionally strikes gold for a few moments, but prepare to be bored for big chunks.
This show is special for me, it kinda makes me feel the same way I felt watching Freaks and Geeks for the first time. (I'm a sucker for anything with Apatow's name on it anyway. Plus, Gillian Jacobs !)
I was intrigued since the beginning but sometimes, man... Just like in Gus and Mickey's relationship, I have deep attraction for the show but there are also moments when it's difficult. But in the end it's Love. First season was tough because at some point I hated Gus for being an hypocrite asshole but loved Mickey and then other moments I liked Gus but hated Mickey for being such a mess. They both made pretty shitty choices and their relationship had a weird dynamic overall.
Season two felt better, less cringe-y. I still don't always understand the characters or even their behavior, but I like that. I like that I am sort of building a relationship with them as the episodes unfold, learning about them and where they are coming from. It's funny how I am witnessing them doing better in their lives and with their relationship but I am also doing better accepting them for who they are.
so real and authentic. always reminds me of my own slice of life. fantastic music tracklist.
The second season is superior to the first. I like it!
The story of two broken people that wanna be loved.
brilliant original comedy, nothing really happens, but its just so addictive.
Only took a couple of episodes for me to fall in love with this show...no pun intended. But seriously connected with the two characters, Gus & Mickey very quickly, the comedy isn't too heavy handed, a light hearted show that I had a lot of fun watching. Definitely a fan and highly recommend as with episodes being only 30 minutes long or so, it won't take up to much of your time. Until season 2, peace!
Despite its (well deserved) "happy ending", the realest and most depressing series about love and life. Don't like a single character in a way but love them in another. Binged in 3 days and so fucking sad it's over.

love it, I wish nerds actually get woman
So, I gave the overall show an 8 and I think it’s good and very much worth watching IF the intent is what I think it is.
I think that this show is a subtle dive into toxic relationships and how fucked up people convince themselves they are doing well and I did get that vibe all throughout the series. But when I looked at the reception, people thought it was more of an actual romantic love story. And if that is truly the case, then I have to say that my rating has to be dropped to a 4 or 5.
Judd Apatow is a particular taste of comedy: raw, quirky, and oftentimes uncomfortable. I binge watched this show immediately with each seasons respective release, and always looked forward to the next season. While the first season was clearly the best, the show remained a quality romantic comedy that appeals to everyone for the duration of its short three season run time. Where many shows overstay their welcome, Love goes out with a solid three season effort before it ever feels like it was dragging on.
Average Season Review: 9/10
Recommendation - Must See (for Romantic Comedy Fans)
ok. So im at 3x08 now. I just kinda wanted to check the pilot, than stayed.
Why? I dont know. I havent really seen show like this. Its so realistic.
I mean the weird conversations, the life struggles of average ppl,
how a relationships is just forms through time.
I havent really seen actor like "Gus", that character wont be even hired for any other kind of show.
Its so interesting to see an unattractive plain guy in a Netflix show as a love hero.
1. season: 6/10
2. season 7/10
3. season 5/10
But I will finish the rest.
Self righteous diatribe here, copy/paste snide an mildly witty comment from another review here, my personal experience as an aficionado of watching tv shows -which everyone knows how to do- here.
Surmise moral superiority by name dropping obscure films/actors/directors here.
Loved the show. Immediately dropped it as soon as she cheated on him.
Started off a bit strange and I started to like it by the second episode. Then there was a sudden shift in Mickey and Gus' characters a couple episodes in and, gradually, they both became irredeemably unlikable -- and, contrary to rave reviews, not in a "modern" or "realistic" way at all. They just began making decisions and behaving in a way totally divorced from real life 30-year-olds. Eventually, nothing in the series was about love; they didn't fall in love so much as stumble into situations where slowly tolerated each other less and less. By the final scene, the story was an exercise in directionless self-destruction, and no one in real life would be attracted to either character.
I hate to compare, but this show simply says nothing about "modern dating" that Master of None doesn't say with more nuance and charm.
So far, so blah. Stopping with episode 1.
