Love Life's first season breezes by on Anna Kendrick's charms, but those looking for a real connection may find its featherweight familiarness frustrating.

An initial story that cast Anna Kendrick as a plucky young woman finding herself through relationships, and breakups, in New York felt a bit too familiar. Go to Full Review Lucy Mangan Guardian 10/12/2020

Love Life’s first three episodes offer an entertaining, well-acted, sometimes emotionally gripping romantic comedy with plenty of potential in both the season and the concept overall. Go to Full Review Bill Brioux Brioux.tv 10/12/2022
The rom-com tackles similar themes to Sex and the City, with Darby surrounded by other young women in various stages of romantic entanglements, but it is less sitcom-y and titilating. Go to Full Review James Croot The Post NZ 07/20/2020
It's still not quite as addictive as Amazon Prime Video's Modern Love, but will likely become an easy short-term infatuation, especially for fans of the self-confessed "scrappy little nobody". Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Wioletta S @Wioletta Jan 5 I thought the first season and the storyline were amazing 🙄 Anna Kendrick's work is always stunning, and then the second season came and i was shocked how bad it was , zero excitement, no continuation of the previous story, 🙄, the most boring story and the most boring guy I have ever seen in my life, a complete waste of a good show, See more Jennifer C Sep 14 I love that this series explores the honest ups and downs learned through relationships throughout a lifetime. See more Khaztiel Delbod D @khaztielddenver_ Jun 19 Me gustó como se contó la historia. See more Ryan K @ryan_k1 12/29/2023 Exploration of relationships that is a mixed bag of good moments and dull moments. What I dislike most about the show is the stilted and unnecessary narration. The writing feels pretty realistic but it is not always the most compelling. There are definitely some good performances, but Anna Kendrick does an uneven job. My favorite episode of the season is one that she is barely in. Overall, the show has some interesting moments but there is better television out there. See more Toms c 06/11/2023 Slow dark and well worth the investment of time. See more Maria L 02/01/2023 I am almost done with it, and I watched it all in one day. It just had me… I relate to so many aspects. See more Read all reviews
