    Bad enough of a show, made worse by knowledge that Will Arnett has relapsed because of it. I hope with every fiber of my being that he comes to his senses and drops this. If not, I hope Netflix cancels it.

    It might be accurate to the bums that live in Venice, but that doesn't make it watchable. It's just not funny nor is there any drama. Either make the characters more douchy/funny or have some kind of heartbeat. Is anybody buying that Will Arnett could land those girls? I'm not.

    Boring show. Bad plot. Even worse is the acting itself. Watched one episode which was more than enough! Seriously, this is no comedy because there is no humor in this.

    I do not know how this show got a second season. There is literally nothing interesting or even funny about this show. I really hope that Netflix does not review for a third season!

    This is the worst thing ever. The whole thing makes no sense really. The acting is so bad that the already bad plot gets even worse. I tried watching a few episodes but it was too painful. I really do not recommend this show to anyone.

    Cette série tout en carton avec ses dialogues en mousse se veut "cynique" ou "drôle" (?) mais fait l'effet d'un pet dans la baignoire. Même recyclée en rouleaux de pet-cul, on ne risquerait pas à se torcher avec. Même pas au niveau d'une simple flaque (de quoi, on préfère ne pas demander).    … Expand

Someone teach the blondie girl how to act first and then that if they want to be more realistic she should not wearing make up even in bed. Disgusting male character, not realistic at all.

    I heard a lot of criticism and didn't listen to it because everyone obviously has a different taste but...I must say that the negative comments here are on point. I don't get this show at all. I tried to go through a whole season but it was too painful to go through it. The plot has no point. The acting is so bad that I had to cringe more than once. A big fat disappointment to be quiet honest.

    I've never seen a worst show ever (and that's something really strange, considering all the shows I've seen in my life). Fuller House is better. At least, the actors can do their jobs, and the leading actress doesn't look like a **** chicken. I hate it. And if Netflix renews this thing, I will surely quit with them!

David Sullivan's character is the usual character put there to make the protagonist look cooler and smarter. Well, it doesn't. I'm so tired of shows like this one! Arnett's character is an **** misogynist and also rude. Like, really rude! Not likeable at all. As the show and the other characters. No chemistry between anyone. It seems like they've been put there and they're trying to get to the end of the show and finally leave.
    As an acquaintance of recovering alcoholics I can truly say that THIS SHOW IS AN INSULT TO THEM. And to women too! Grown up men talking about a girl (that's supposed to be a feminist because she likes Frida Kahlo, again, WHAT. I like plenty of things, that doesn't make me any of those things!) like she's a **** trophy. And then, she chooses the 'hot' (again, WHERE) guy. Disgusting, truly.
    Finding out that women liked it, makes me really understand how much meninism and misogyny are radicated into our lives!
    And, only one black guy? What? Seriously? What happened? No one invented black people yet in Venice Beach?
    Only good thing, is the soundtrack (such a waste for a show like this one!)

    [Netflix's Love] at least felt fresh and directed in the way it surgically examined the tropes of the romantic comedy. It was a character study that had a purpose, explaining through its run why we were watching these characters to begin with. Flaked never answers that question.
