Love Is Awesome
Judd Apatow and Paul Rust’s Netflix Series, Love, is awesome. It reminds me of Reality Bites, where the dialogue is the true star. The conversation pulls you both in and repels you. You love it and get anxious. Nothing happens and something may happen. I imagine Curb Your Enthusiasm has similar qualities, although I haven’t seen more than a clip or two.
A scroll to the review headlines gives you the same vibe.
“Love - hilarious, annoying, addictive” - The Guardian
“A Dark romance about terrible people” - The Atlantic
“Liking the unlikable in Netflix’s Love”
“Netflix’s ‘Love’ is not worth your binge time”
“Netflix’s Love makes a strong case against creating TV with binge-watching in mind”
“Love takes its sweet time to get anywhere particularly interesting”
It is how I remember Reality Bites, minus the romance.
In the adorable section, please chalk up the date to the magic castle and the regular get together of Gus and his friends, writing themesongs for movies without one. That is just brilliant! It is something I wish we would have done growing up.
