Put New York as the backdrop for a romantic comedy and you have all the ingredients for a delicious product: rhythm, aesthetics, aspirations, unhappiness in disguise.

Love Life is a product that stands out in the offer of platforms. Produced for Hbo Max, and arrived in Italy thanks to TimVision, from the second season it has become one of Netflix’s flagship titles.

The whole narrative revolves around the sentimental events of the young Darby Carter (Anna Kendrick), romantic and naive, intriguing and insecure: thus, the Big Apple – the series is shot entirely in Queens – is the perfect theater of conquests and failures, capable of enveloping the protagonist’s maturation process.

The structure is anthological: each episode (ten per season) is a thirty minute brushstroke, format increasingly in use on platforms, a journey into Darby’s personality, a journey through his stories and adventures, but also a way to reflect on loveon its lasting rind in an ephemeral world.

Each story is a nuance, a point of view, a fragment of existence from which we end up feeling involved and overwhelmed.
For those who love romantic comedies and dreamy and imperfect personalities.
