Each season of "Love Life" follows a different person, jumping back and forth between timelines throughout all the diverse relationships they encounter in their lives to demonstrate how they subsequently shape them into who they are. The journey from first love to last love and the connections they form along the way highlights the ways in which these relationships leave a lasting impact on the person, and a new interest introduced in each episode shines a spotlight on the evolution of relationships as people grow older and find their true selves.

Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) Oct 23
3.5/5
While the second season has sharper elbows [than the first], both instalments are willing to uncomfortably bend the romantic-comedy without breaking it. Go to Full Review Eliana Dockterman TIME Magazine 02/13/2023
The presence of Jessica Williams as Marcus’ long-running will-they-or-won’t-they certainly doesn’t hurt. If only Max had taken this second outing as proof that Love Life had legs, instead of canceling the show before it could return for a third. Go to Full Review Rebecca Nicholson Guardian 05/07/2022
4/5
Watching someone in their 30s work out how to become the person they want to be, and the right person to help them on their way to that, makes for a different series than the first, but one that is just as effective. Go to Full Review Lina Lecaro L.A. Weekly 03/05/2022
Makeups and breakups, hookups, bad judgment, and selfish behavior, are all part of the characters journey to emotional maturity and a healthy relationship, which at the risk of spoiling things, were happy to say he gets. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Gerhard K @Paulalois15 Feb 24 This is one of best written Rom Coms ever! Real and believable situations that many of city people can relate to - especially in a racially balanced modern metropolis that could almost be in any world city. Thank you to the writers and actors who made this series a true reflection of our collective lives. To the people giving low reviews, sorry you are still mired in racial segregation of what to your narrow minded views you find acceptable and unacceptable. Look in the mirror of your comments. Whether an egg is brown or white, human beings are the same on the inside. Wake up! To those who recognize great works - May you spread the word! See more Shan P @Pan32 Jan 28 I found this highly offensive. The whole series is filled with black/white comments. And offensive comments about "ugly" white babies. I just couldn’t help but think what if it was the other way round? And there was a whole series of white people talking about being white and googling "ugly" black babies. How would that be perceived by the public? How highly would that be rated? What would be the feedback? The first series was so good compared to the second. See more Fraser S @RT90760683 Oct 19 Marcus may be one of the most unlikable character I've ever came across on any TV series. See more 49 yo D @RT30247470 Aug 18 Offensive shite compared to season one. See more Ryan K @ryan_k1 01/01/2024 Thoughtful exploration of various romantic situations that becomes a bit dull at times. Season 2 of Love Life improves on the first season with better acting from the lead, but there are still some shaky performances. The writing is just as good as the past season, but it is generally predictable. The season starts off strong but fades near the end and has multiple episodes that are flat out boring. Overall, I would recommend the second season of Love Life to fans of the first season, but this season won't win any new converts. See more Toms c @tomscove 06/11/2023 There is no even minded justification for the low reviews, ignore them and watch. This is a really high quality show. Worth your time, I wish there was more like this. See more Read all reviews
