Netflix users say that this series is so good they've watched it multiple times

While some Netflix content is quickly forgotten, the series Love has impressed viewers so much that they keep coming back to it.

This romantic dramedy, which ran for three seasons, is considered by many to be among Netflix’s best series—especially for those who enjoy smart love stories with a touch of irony and real-life challenges.

The series originally aired from 2016 to 2018 and was created by Judd Apatow, Lesley Arfin, and Paul Rust. The main cast includes Gillian Jacobs, Rust, Claudia O'Doherty, Mike Mitchell, and Chris Witaske, according to Index.

Love without sugar-coating

The plot of Love is set in modern-day Los Angeles and follows two seemingly incompatible characters—Mickey and Gus. Mickey (Jacobs) is a fiery radio producer struggling with addictions and fear of commitment. On the other hand, Gus (Rust) is a reserved, well-meaning screenwriter who longs for stability and love, but often gets lost in his own insecurities.

Their chance encounter at a store sparks a series of awkward dates, emotional crises, and sincere moments of vulnerability. Over three seasons, the series doesn’t offer an idealized vision of love—it shows what it’s really like when two people try to connect despite personal flaws, past traumas, and daily challenges.

This authenticity is exactly what has won over viewers. On the aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes, Love boasts an impressive 94% critic rating and 87% audience score. The show doesn’t try to be glamorous or pretentious—it offers a realistic look at modern love,modern love, laced with dark humor, charm, and unexpected tenderness.

A show that offers the perfect escape from reality

Fans’ online comments speak for themselves. As Unilad reports, one viewer wrote: “The series is witty and smart, never boring. It’s perfect for escaping reality. I was sad when it ended.”

Another added: “I keep rewatching it because it gives me a sense of comfort. Even though all the characters are flawed, they remain likable and interesting.”

A third fan pointed out: “The best show I’ve seen in a long time! Great humor and amazing writing.”

Love is one of those titles that doesn’t rely on special effects, but rather on character depth, warmth, and a realistic portrayal of relationships. That’s why this series has become a sort of sanctuary for many viewers—something that offers support when they need laughter, understanding, or just a bit of comfort.
