    Ultimately, it’s an aesthetically and narratively empty enterprise that confuses treacly, saccharine gestures with a complex understanding of interpersonal relationships. The major hurdle to connecting with Modern Love is that the characters have the depth of a thimble. ... Modern Love is at once empty and retrograde. Its stars, and viewers, deserve better.

    It is so syrupy sweet that it should come with options for a dental plan. ... Watching “Modern Love” is about as much fun as listening to a New Yorker complain about not being able to find a good bagel or a decent slice. Like I said, it’s a hate-watch.

    Decent but aggressively unexceptional. Saved by the versatile cast that delivers consistently.

    This is one of my top 5 favorite new shows of 2019 and is one of my favorite shows of all time. The stories were exceptionally well writtenThis is one of my top 5 favorite new shows of 2019 and is one of my favorite shows of all time. The stories were exceptionally well written and I loved how unique each one was. The music especially the opening theme was outstanding. My favorite episode was "Take Me as I Am, Whoever I Am" then it was "Hers Was a World of One", "When the Doorman Is Your Main Man", "At the Hospital, an Interlude of Clarity", "The Race Grows Sweeter Near Its Final Lap", "When Cupid Is a Prying Journalist", "Rallying to Keep the Game Alive", and my least favorite episode was "So He Looked Like Dad. It Was Just Dinner, Right?". The acting was phenomenal especially from Anne Hathaway, Christin Milioti, John Slattery, Laurentiu Possa, Olivia Cooke, Tina Fey, Catherine Keener, Julia Garner, Sofia Boutella, John Gallagher Jr., Dev Patel, Jane Alexander, Andrew Scott, Andy Garcia, James Saito, and Shea Whigham. Overall this first season was a A+.… Full Review »
