Amazon has struggled with its anthology shows over the years. That changed with Modern Love. The series brought eight compelling tales that made us need far more of the series. And fortunately, more is on its way. Breaking the curse of the anthology romance shows, Modern Love was swiftly renewed for Season 2.
The series offers different stories throughout the season. Each episode is a different tale, focusing on the different versions of love. For some, it’s a gay couple matched to an expecting mother who is looking for someone to adopt her baby. For others, it’s finding love.
Anne Hathaway arguably gave an Emmy-winning performance, even if she was completely overlooked. She brought mental illness to life, and the show was also kind and caring, giving her a friend who she could confide in as well as the hope for love in the future.
Modern Love reminds us that love has a way of touching us. It brings people together in ways they never expect, and it’s definitely never too late!
