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

TV Guide Magazine Matt Roush

Endearing even when she's being aggravating, Kendrick lets us in on Darby's deep-rooted insecurities. [25 May - 7 Jun 2020, p.2]

No matter which way you slice it, it’s evident from the first seven episodes I was able to screen the team behind and in front of the Love Life cameras is a shrewd one keen to freshen up a very familiar premise. Read full review

By the end of the eight episodes screened for critics (out of the full season’s 10), the only indicators of Darby’s growth are material ones: better clothes, accessories, and apartments. Read full review

One would like to be less conscious of the fact that Darby is living a lie, or a series of them, or indeed is a character in a TV series; nevertheless, anyone who has has been in a relationship of any length will find some behavior here to accuse themselves of. ... Kendrick is well cast, and as an excuse to hang out in her company, “Love Life,” frustrating as it sometimes is, will do. Read full review

“Love Life” treads well-worn ground without blazing a unique path for itself. Like most outings in the genre, it’s not without a fair share of charm to make the time enjoyable – although these pleasures stem largely from star Anna Kendrick and her earnest embrace of the middling material.

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

It's not the perfect love story but that's ok. It's messy and doesn't give you the most satisfying conclusion but that is what life is... it's not perfect, it leaves much to be desired and that is ok because perfection is a fantasy and unrealistic.

The problem with Anna Kendrick is that she's Anna Kendrick all the time. Whether she is in musical productions, hawking hotel rentals or changing lovers with ease, she never stops being Anna Kendrick.
