Made for Love is the latest chapter in Ray Romano's "Romanoissance"

Slate

From the 2017 film The Big Sick to the 2020 HBO TV movie Bad Education to HBO Max's Made for Love, the former Everybody Loves Raymond star has been doing the finest work of his career in recent years, according to Matthew Dessem. "Romano has a great talent for making bizarre and grotesque people likable, and the best of his recent work leverages this to push him into interesting places," says Dessem. "It’s rare to see someone change gears and do the best work of their lives after the role that makes them rich and famous, but Ray Romano is doing it, and it’s impossible not to root for him. Everybody loves the guy."
