I checked out a new netflix show the other day (actual netflix and chill, with none of the urban dictionary flair). The show is called Love and is created by Judd Apatow and the couple of Paul Rust and Lesley Arfin. I gotta say this about Apatow, he’s about the unattractive dudes getting the pretty girl. Of course, that is how everyone is, but sometimes Apatow goes off the deep end. This new show, Love, is interesting. It charts the budding ‘romance’ of two people with difficult backgrounds and very limited skills at building relationships. The show is hilarious and weird and everything you’d expect from the people responsible for This is 40 and girls.
It makes me feel like Netflix is on to something. They are churning out shows at the rate of a local network. The shows either hit or miss, but tend to hit at a rate greater than what happens on NBC, ABC, and CBS. Even better, these shows tend to be more experimental and land all at once, so I can check out an entire season binge mode.
Some Thoughts:
