I found the show cheekily bewitching, both sardonic and deeply deeply disturbing.
Hazel has power of her own, and “Made for Love” lets her slowly come into it across its first four episodes. Where that journey takes her is another story, but the amount of thought put into plot, theme, and performance makes the opening half of “Made for Love” absorbing viewing.
Granted, the particular concept and setup might not be designed to last for very long before running out of steam; still, if it's not quite love at first sight, thanks primarily to Milioti, there's plenty here to like.
A captivating lead performance by Milioti and an intriguing sci-fi premise enable Made For Love to successfully overcome its occasional tonal missteps. In its depiction of domestic abuse and gaslighting, the series is ultimately too slight, but as a comedic diversion Made For Love is another good addition to HBO Max’s stable of unique dramedies.
Today, the story feels disappointingly familiar — but Milioti is worth hanging on for, even though the show may not be the partner that she, or we, deserve.
After four episodes, “Made for Love” is more “interesting” than “entertaining,” and I kept wishing it was more of the latter given its premise and ensemble.
From its disorienting opening onward, “Made For Love” struggles to maintain this balancing act enough that the [“in medias res”] gambit hardly seems worth it. ... The series benefits once it get untangled from the broader complications of What Technology Could Do To Humanity and focuses more on Hazel and the constant dread she faces at trying to outpace her abusive husband.
