The writing remains Love Life’s biggest draw, and Marcus’ world feels richly constructed around him, perhaps more so than in Darby’s story. ... It’s meticulously crafted and snackable.

Love Life‘s second season surpasses the first just by shifting the focus away from a subject we’ve seen so many times to one that has a messier, and more interesting, story.

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

She and the scriptwriters have a tall order making the undulations of one stranger's love life interesting enough to sustain ten half-hour episodes. I'm not sure I'd stick that for my dearest friend. But it really does get better as it progresses.

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.

"Love Life" is not "My Best Friend's Wedding." At its best, it falls squarely in the "thing I wouldn't mind falling asleep to on a plane" genre. ... If "Love Life" suffers from its stale concept and execution, it is done no further favors by Kendrick's rote performance.

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.

Imagine two white people flirting with each other: "do you ever just google ugly black kids?". That would rightly be a no go. Not sure why the writers thought it would be so much cooler reversing the roles. In any case, it's a thoroughly mediocre show.

Sponsored by the alcohol, meat, tobacco, and dairy industries this is show is filled with weird glib and snarky dialog. I am kinda enjoying hate watching it though. If the actors really ate and drank like they did on the show, they'd be obese with diabetes and heart disease. What are they trying to prove including alcohol in nearly every scene and definitely every episode.
