    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.

    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.

    If fuller house was bad this one is even worse! i hated the characters , the plot ..basically everything! The 2 big guys fight over a girl like they're 13, there's no respect for women and the leading actress is weird. For me its a big no.

    i agree with every bad critic. Two old man that figh over a girl? And this girl end up choosing the good looking one? Classic and superficials, something that just the fans of a man as Will Arnett can enjoy it. It will be probably renewed for a second season because of them but it remains a trash for sure.

    A really bad show, its like watching a teen drama tihout a real drama. They act like kids, the age gap id quei disgusting as the waitress who choose Chip cause is better looking. To me a second season is pointless, there no reason to continue this "drama". Can Will Arnett just focus on his stupid cartoon? Thanks.

He tried to write this show as some incredibly smart dramedy and he FAILED. The characters are awful, there's no characterizetion, the dialogues are poorly written as the plot is. 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!)
    If Netflix renews this **** for a second season, I'll truly quit with them! I was expecting better from them..

Its an insult to every woman, Arnett is embarassing the lead actress annoying, the best friend is the stupid one and the only funny character is the black guy ( coincidence?).

If you have to be intelligent to watch this show i ask myself why everyone dislike it ! It could be a good show, but everything is wrong ( For example the drama "Love" is like on another planet, thats a drama well written).

    [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.
