"Love" - Hit Netflix Series



I don't know why people even pay for cable television anymore. You can watch all your favorite TV shows and movies on Netflix for $7.99 a month. Not to mention, you get access to the latest hit Netflix series such as this off-beat, romantic comedy called "Love". It stars Gilian Jacobs from "Community" as "Mickey", the complicated, super liberal, rebellious girl. Paul Rust from "I Love You, Beth Cooper" plays "Gus", the same timid & nerdy character that he played in that movie. With a giant nose like that, Paul Rust has been typecasted as a Jewish, lame geek. 

This show is no different, "Gus" is a divorced, lonely nerd and a hopeless romantic that works as a tutor for a child actor. "Mickey" is the exact opposite of "Gus". She is cool, confident, and an attractive program manager for a radio station. She is also divorced, but much more outgoing and outspoken  than "Gus", she just says whatever is on her mind. They meet randomly one day and spend the next 24 hours together. They're completely different, but something just clicks between them and they begin an awkward, unusual relationship together. The series is about their complex connection and how  sometimes opposites attract. "Mickey" brings "Gus" out of his shell and "Gus" is unlike any guy "Mickey" has dated before; he brings a sense of stability to her chaotic life.

Legendary director, Judd Apatow directs this series and his daughter, Iris Apatow, .stars in the show as "Aria", the bratty child actor that "Gus" is tutoring while she is shooting a movie. Paul Rust is actually one of the writers for this show as well. It's a quirky, hilarious series and unlike the average rom-com show.
