As the days grow shorter and the cozy blankets beckon, there’s nothing quite like diving into a captivating series. Last weekend, while gearing up for the week ahead, I received an urgent message from my friend Mia, insisting that I drop everything and tune into Modern Love on Amazon Prime. I tucked that suggestion away for later, thinking I’d get to it eventually.
However, just a few hours later, while indulging in a plate of spaghetti and meatballs, I received another ping from an old acquaintance, Jared, asking if I had started Modern Love yet. With all this buzz, I realized I had to check it out—I owed it to my friends and family.
Before long, I found myself engrossed in the series, unable to tear myself away. Just a few episodes in, I was completely captivated, and it soon became clear I wasn’t alone in my obsession. After binge-watching all eight episodes with my three kids, who remarked, “This is strange, but I’m into it,” I felt profoundly changed.
The show, inspired by real-life essays from the beloved New York Times column, Modern Love, is a raw and compelling exploration of love in all its forms. So, fair warning: keep tissues handy, as each episode is sure to tug at your heartstrings. Featuring an impressive lineup including Anne Hathaway, Tina Fey, and Dev Patel, the series delves into the various stages and challenges of love.
However, a notable critique remains—every interracial couple depicted includes a white partner. While the series showcases a variety of relationships, this recurring pattern is evident and should be addressed in the upcoming Season 2, which was recently announced.
What I discovered while watching Modern Love is that it resonates deeply with the experiences many of us have faced. Whether you’re grappling with marriage difficulties or mourning a lost love, the stories hit home. If you possess even a hint of empathy, prepare to be moved.
The series highlights our collective yearning for connection and understanding of human emotion. It tackles complex issues such as marriage counseling, bipolar disorder, adoption, and the intoxicating thrill of new romance, making it a must-watch for anyone. The characters share a universal desire: to be loved. This vulnerability connects us all, reminding viewers they are not alone in their feelings.
If you haven’t yet started the series, do yourself a favor and watch just one episode—you might find it impossible to stop there! Meanwhile, I’ll be eagerly anticipating more episodes from Modern Love and Amazon.
