The series offers new comedy and dramatic stories about love. In each episode we see a new meaning of love and the series is going to explore them all including sexual, romantic, familial, platonic, and self love.
Modern Love is here to tell us that now and then it's fine to sink into a scented bath of unabashed optimism, which is what this opening instalment delivers.
If you like crunchy, chewy centres, you might not find what you want in Modern Love, but if you're a fan of strawberry cremes, you're in luck. Though even the sweetest tooth might find the buoyant theme tune cloying by the third go-around.
Do you like Tina Fey, Anne Hathaway, Julia Garner or Catherine Keener? You can join any of them on a fairly involving journey exploring love and self without having to keep your backside glued to a cushion for more than 30 minutes.
Perhaps most egregiously of all, Modern Love, the television show, sands down the sharp, cutting, and often brutally introspective edges of Modern Love, the column.
Watching "Modern Love" is about as much fun as listening to a New Yorker complain about not being able to find a good bagel or a decent slice. Like I said, it's a hate-watch.
