Made for Love — Season 1

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Made for Love's satirical riffs on technology are undeniably clever, but the most valuable special effects in this twisty odyssey are Cristin Milioti's charisma and comedic timing.

Doreen St. Felix The New Yorker 05/08/2021
Made for Love bears the same trademark that distinguishes Nutting's unsettling and hilarious novels: aromantic pictures of sadly plausible couplings. Go to Full Review
Sophie Gilbert The Atlantic 04/22/2021
These scenarios are fascinating, but they rarely have any meaningful connection with or insight into real life and real love. Made for Love, at least, does. Go to Full Review
Kylie Northover The Age (Australia) 04/22/2021
4/5
Made For Love lacks some of the subtleties of other dystopian stories, but a great cast and a wry, almost slapstick humour carries the story along to an unexpected and surprisingly touching conclusion. Go to Full Review
Jennifer Bisset CNET 03/29/2023
Brilliantly sardonic comedy Made For Love features technology interfering with relationships. Go to Full Review

Ari in Austin T @RT38221185 Aug 4 Entertaining and thought provoking. I’d love to be able to watch it again, unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be streaming anywhere at the time. Hazel is such a vibe. I wish I had a O%g@m Review in real life. Zelda is a dolphin. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any weirder, it absolutely does. Oh and Ray Romano is hilarious, how he kept a straight face truly must have been a struggle. See more 06/10/2022 the plots are crazy! loved the acting. See more 05/23/2022 Made for Love is fantastic! It is very original, quirky and even surprising at times. It is superbly written and gripping with great acting performances, especially the three leads (Cristin Milioti, Ray Romano & Billy Magnussen). This series is so refreshingly different! I had not heard anything about Made for Love until a friend recommended it, and I'm so glad she did. This is a hidden gem on HBO Max! See more 05/03/2022 I ran into this show by recognizing Cristin Milioti's face on the poster, who I remembered from an excellent episode of Black Mirror. Having a huge crush on Cristin, I HAD to watch it, no matter what it was. I was pleasantly surprised to find this show interesting, unique, thought-provoking, and funny! Cristin caries this show like the total pro that she is. She is an excellent actress with great range, comedic timing, and equally convincing with comedy as she is in dramatic moments. Her face and especially her big brown eyes convey emotion so well that you cant help but keep your eyes glued to her no matter who else is in the frame. But that's not to say the the supporting actors aren't valuable as well, they are. Ray Romano is perfect as Herbert, Hazel's recluse, "pervert" father. Billy is convincing as Hazel's sociopathic, conniving, sleaseball husband. I cant wait for more of season 2 and truly hope this show goes for 5+ seasons! See more ripper j @RJ2099 12/01/2021 Interesting theme and decent acting, but the pacing is too slow and script is not funny. I was more bored than entertained. See more 08/19/2021 Made For Love entailed a blend between Black Mirror and Marriage Story. Whilst there were some minor pacing issues, the cast and high stakes really kept me invested and interested in what came next. The world space the director paints portrays a dystopian mind melding tech infiltrating allusion. To sum it up the show is F*cked up... In a good way. 100% worth the watch, can't wait for season 2 See more Read all reviews
