Critic Reviews

Erik Adams

Season 1 Review: Love communicates the honesty its creators strived for, if only for the believable way it draws Gus and Mickey together across time, space, and their own insecurities. Put in the time with Love, and that time will be rewarded. Read full review

Season 1 Review: While it does struggle through a few bloated scripts and is certainly more challenging than some viewers may be ready for (without the immediate benefits of more traditional comedies), the series isn't shy of rewards for those who stick it out. Read full review

Season 3 Review: Jacobs has found a way to play that character in such a way that Mickey is endlessly surprising rather than easily irritating. ... Gus has always been just as deeply screwed up as Mickey is. In this final season of the show, there’s a reckoning with his own neurotic behavior, and Rust shows himself fully up to this challenge as an actor. Love also delves more deeply into its supporting cast. Read full review

Season 3 Review: Season 3 does manage to end on something of a transcendent moment while remaining as semi-sweet as what’s come before, and we’ll always remember the show with fondness. Read full review

Rob Lowman

Season 1 Review: The first few episodes of Love careen from being clever and funny to some intentionally cringeworthy moments. The challenge for the series, which has already been renewed for a second season, is to have Mickey and Gus begin to see the light. Otherwise, the show paints a humorous, if somewhat disquieting, picture of the dating scene in L.A. and is populated by some likable auxiliary characters. Read full review

Season 1 Review: As delightful as it is to watch Gus and Mickey learn what they love and like (and loathe) about one another, too many obstacles will feel contrived sooner rather than later. As it currently stands, though, Love‘s rambling introduction is one that most won’t mind accommodating. Read full review

Caroline Framke

Feb 23, 2016

Season 1 Review: Love's first four episodes are so overstuffed with bland filler that episodes two, three, and four could've been cut altogether, and the show could've skipped right from the pilot with "The Date" without the plot losing much importance. The show's saving grace is that the far more interesting end of season one is a promising sign for season two, which Netflix ordered months before the show even premiered. Read full review
