Talk about your Olympic games! The staff at a lonely hearts agency has more on the ball than clients may realize: Matriarch Grace Valentine is really Aphrodite, the goddess of love herself, while son Danny, the arrow-slinging Eros, now favors a magical gun than makes people temporarily fall in love. His best friend, Leo, is a muscle dude who formerly answered to Hercules, while sis Phoebe, the incognito goddess of the Oracle at Delphi, helps the family track down and unite soul mates. Will this add up to a divine comedy or a gods-forsaken mess?
Valentine — Season 1

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Valentine has an original premise, but predictability and a not-so-funny plot are even more unforgivable for a comedy based on a supernatural family of Olympic gods.

No, this is not the stuff of heady literature. It's not even the stuff of good drama. But people in the market for a goofy love story might find "Valentine" refreshingly unhip, a show that goes against the grain with a captivating grin.

Take away the likability factor, and you're left with a rather empty shell of a gimmick that's shimmering and glossy but ultimately substance-challenged. Go to Full Review Alan Sepinwall Newark Star-Ledger 09/25/2019
It's far from the worst - or cheapest - thing to air in the history of the CW or its parent networks, but it's skippable unless you're really bored. Go to Full Review Emily Ashby Common Sense Media 09/26/2019

Billed as a romantic comedy, this lackluster series falls short on both love and laughs. Go to Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 09/25/2019
"Valentine," created by Kevin Murphy, is fine but nothing special. It's a less quirky version of ABC's 1998-99 series "Cupid," which is about to be re made. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
