Modern Love on Prime

Is so good. Just have tissues nearby. I highly recommend watching.

I have been wanting to watch this show! Glad to hear it is as good as it looks.

I'm watching the fifth one (? the one with Tina Fey) now and I think the doorman one is still my favorite. But Dev Patel is really hot in his, lol.

I loved the first 2 and the adoption one. Overall I love it, but there are a few where I lost interest.

I just watched the first two episodes and had cathartic weepy cries during each.

I just watched the first one last night. I loved the doorman story!

Well I must be heartless bc I watched the first 2 episodes and thought "meh".  No tears, nothing.  Bored.

Just started the first episode. Glad to hear so many of you are enjoying it.

I found the doorman creepy, hated Tina Fey (that story wasn’t fleshed out at all), liked the second story, couldn’t get past 5 mins of Anne Hathaway.

we are going to watch as soon as we finish The Politician

It’s on my list. I saw a take this weekend on Twitter that pointed out that the interracial couples features are white women/black men, and that black women don’t have much of their own storylines beyond generally supportive. Having not watched it I’m not sure, but if so how terribly problematic.

Ditto. But, I guess I’m not surprised. I generally find the people featured in modern love articles to be a bit insufferable. And, this carried that tradition on.

Just finished The Politician!!  Such an odd show but yet totally drew me in.  I'm looking forward to the 2nd season - the last episode is basically setting up the next season.

Yes!  That last episode made the whole first season seem like set up for the real story.

I just watched the daddy-issue episode of Modern Love, and that was just weird.  I'm liking the episodes less the further in I get.  Apparently they all tie together eventually?

[wildrice]

I've only watched the first episode (the doorman) and I thought it was sweet. I will keep watching!

ECB, candreco, I liked the first few episodes of the Politician but then got bored. We were REAL confused in the last episode but Judith Light and Bette Midler next season ? I am in, lol! I found it to be not as funny as some of Murphy's other shows (Scream Queens, Glee). I did think the casting was really great though.

That's my assumption - and yes, I was confused at first too!  BUt I read that each season will follow him through an election, so I assume that next season will be him running against Judith.
