Joshua Alston

Season 2 Review: The writing remains Love Life’s biggest draw, and Marcus’ world feels richly constructed around him, perhaps more so than in Darby’s story. ... It’s meticulously crafted and snackable. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Love Life' is pretty good show that has fine performances, starting with an Emmy-worthy turn from Anna Kendrick. Read full review

Season 2 Review: It’s a smart showcase for a talented actor who seizes it with both hands, giving the rom-com genre a jolt as welcome as it is overdue. Read full review

Season 1 Review: She and the scriptwriters have a tall order making the undulations of one stranger's love life interesting enough to sustain ten half-hour episodes. I'm not sure I'd stick that for my dearest friend. But it really does get better as it progresses. Read full review

Season 2 Review: Despite minor improvements in its design and a winsome turn from Harper, "Love Life" Season 2 remains frustrating in its selective view of its central figure's choices as well as its boxed-in outlook on love. For those seeking comfort in the familiar patterns of another decade-late coming-of-age story, perhaps Season 2 will prove just distracting enough. But for anyone expecting more than the same ol', same ol'. Read full review

Season 1 Review: “Love Life” has its mild virtues for rom-com addicts who enjoy a good meet-cute every now and again. But the anthology show, starring and executive produced by Anna Kendrick, trades in tropes that are as overused on TV as the word “tropes” is in TV criticism. ... The flatness of the plot turns, many of which recall the less sexual arcs in “Sex and the City,” is compensated, to some degree, by the characters and the actors surrounding Darby. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Love Life does what it sets out to do as well as possible, but is unable to get over a truly killer hurdle early on: the characters in this show are insufferable. Read full review

Imagine two white people flirting with each other: "do you ever just google ugly black kids?". That would rightly be a no go. Not sure why the writers thought it would be so much cooler reversing the roles. In any case, it's a thoroughly mediocre show.

Sponsored by the alcohol, meat, tobacco, and dairy industries this is show is filled with weird glib and snarky dialog. I am kinda enjoying hate watching it though. If the actors really ate and drank like they did on the show, they'd be obese with diabetes and heart disease.

What are they trying to prove including alcohol in nearly every scene and definitely every episode.… Expand
