Lots of (fully clothed) sex and romance in enjoyable series.

Offers one or two laughs, but mostly results in something that we've already seen done better. A "Sex and the City" of sorts, without bite. [Full review in Spanish]

Kendrick keeps things buoyant, and the series' 30-minute episodic structure helps keep the momentum going for an easy, diverting binge, but for a show about the highs and lows of love, it can't help but feel strangely half-hearted.
June 04, 2020
It's an easy and enjoyable half-hour comedy, almost refreshingly apolitical, adamantly refusing to take a stand on anything that does not pertain to dating.

Early shows aren't necessarily signature shows - no one thinks of HBO as the network of "Arli$$." But with "Love Life," HBO Max is making not so much of a splash as a ripple.

t's comfortable and feels realistic. The odds are, especially if you're a woman, you'll recognize at least some of your relationship gaffs in Darby's exploits.
May 18, 2020
Kendrick's talents as a fierce, often biting, performer - who can channel powerful emotions into specific gestures and phrases - are wasted on Darby, who's painted purely in broad strokes.

Though Kendrick delivers a solid performance, it's muted by how bland her character can be.

If you're looking for a pleasant diversion during these locked-down times, it's quite easy to fall for Love Life. But does it deserve a long-term commitment when there are so many other fish in the sea? I'm not sure if my heart is totally in in yet.
May 25, 2020
Even Kendrick's considerable talent and skill can't make up for the show's overall flimsiness.
May 21, 2020
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 performances from Kendrick and Chao (and a mega-charming Jin Ha as practically the only decent dude in Darby's life) make it a pretty pleasant eight episodes to watch.
