Love's third and final season does justice to its lead characters

The A.V. Club

"More than the love story itself," says Erik Adams, "Love’s greatest achievement might be that it managed to make Gus and Mickey feel like fully realized, complicated individuals independent of their love story. Through three seasons, their cringe-comedy f*ck-ups showed why’d they’d initially found themselves alone; in small moments and (Paul) Rust and (Gillian) Jacobs’ on-screen connection, Love demonstrated how these people were better together. It gave itself the time to do that, to bring Mickey and Gus and their friends to a satisfying point of departure, and that’s no small feat."
