I finished “LOVE” on Netflix. good, but if you’re a metropolitan educated white person who tends to get melancholy about relationships, there are like a hundred legit trigger warnings here. Shit is un-fucking-comfortable. Also touches on drug and alcohol addiction and recovery culture in some potentially upsetting ways. Eveeyone’s a fucking mess though, and it’s realistic enough for its own VERY narrow cultural and socio-economic demographic.
It’s a Judd Apatow thing. Seems like Apatow has kind of become the Woody Allen of the millennial generation. So, like... no black or brown people... just successful, intellectual white folks bickering about art and coolness. I dunno. Good show though.
Now I’m re-watching “the Newsroom” on Amazon Prime. Good stuff, but Sorkin could use a lesson in realspeak, bless his heart.
