When his cheating girlfriend leaves him, people-pleasing nice-guy Gus (Paul Rust, "I Love You, Beth Cooper" and "Inglorious Basterds") moves into a trendy apartment complex inhabited by lots of college students. A chance encounter introduces him to wild-child Mickey (Gillian Jacobs, "Community"), also recently single, and who despises her job in radio. Though wildly different, the two are drawn to each other, and that relationship is the basis for the Judd Apatow-helmed Netflix original series. And in the end, their differences may be what help them figure out just what love is.

Lauren Carroll Harris Guardian Jul 31, 2019
Whether they're perfectly paired or deadly mismatched, the untangling of their relationship is one of the most satisfying, true-to-life things onscreen right now. Go to Full Review Alison Herman The Ringer Aug 15, 2017
Love's greatest triumphs are its characters and their chemistry. Both are dividends of the investment of time that Rust, Arfin, and Apatow are so willing to make. Go to Full Review Max Cea Salon.com May 16, 2017
The characters' flaws and the way their traits contrast - Gus is the nebbish nice guy; Mickey is the wild heartbreaker - is where the show finds most of its drama and comedy. Go to Full Review Rhys Tarling Isolated Nation Sep 30, 2019
4/5
Love is light on plot, sure, but it's huge on character and personality. Its meandering vibe approximates the characters' mindsets. Go to Full Review Philip Cosores Consequence Feb 14, 2018
Oftentimes, it feels like the only reason they are together is because both of them want to make something work in their life, which might not make for the most romantic TV show, but it does ring true to anyone that has done similarly in their own lives.

Both Rust and Jacobs are likable actors, and we root for Gus and Mickey even if they're not the best people, to themselves or others. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Faiz D @RT95588871 May 14, 2025 Weirdest show I like. See more Jul 12, 2022 The first season established the beginning of Mickey and Gus' relationship and the personalities of their friends and coworkers with a pace that some might find too slow, but actually let the characters develop at a pace that let us get a good idea of how they view the world. This second season fleshed out the relationship to each other, and we begin to understand that what we thought was a typical dorky but good hearted guy falls for beautiful but flawed girl, ala Big Bang Theory, is anything but that. He isn't the trod upon nice guy from the midwest who doesn't understand the big mean city, he is actually an entitled jerk just underneath that golly gee exterior, and she is a deeply wounded soul who rightfully puts him in his place. The former girlfriend who said "you're fake nice" was the producers way of foreshadowing this. Will she break through his projections and entitlement? Will he help her become more vulnerable? And will they grow together or walk away in frustration? They are so well written that you'll want to keep watching to find out. See more Jan 18, 2021 Just when you think Love will be a short lived one season show, again, we dive deeper into this lovely city world, and I just can't stop relating so much to this show. See more May 5, 2020 Loses steam quite quick, kind of boring compared to Season 1 in my opinion. See more Apr 23, 2020 Love keeps up the level in this season. It's so beautiful to see these characters develop and grow, not just the main couple, which still are the best part of the show, just watching them talk in a room is funny and heartbreaking and sad and funny again and lovely. This is becoming a great show. See more leonardo l @RT89333957 Aug 23, 2019 Love takes a fresh pov on love and relationships. See more Read all reviews
