    Here we go.

    Good show. But, can quickly tell where this is going. In LA, all about the MeToo, evil white male crap. How many times in an episode are you going to bash white males for their "privilege". My god. Terrible. Build the fan base in the first season without it, now hammer home your personal political garbage. Good job Berlanti!

    Off to a good start

    Love is a complex and interesting character. Seeing the relationship dynamic with her and Forty was a treat this episode. She's shaping up to be a better love interest than Beck. Another character I really like is Delilah. Overall, this was a good episode with some forced moments but it came through in the end.

    It's getting a little too boring.

    You Season 2 Episode 3

    Review : In reviewing the episode, I would say that this episode is not very interesting, I think this episode can be called a boring episode. There was no need to show it to show some of the things in the plot of this episode. There is no point in forcing an episode to be 48 or 49 minutes. All in all, I don't like this episode at all. I have discussed the rest of this topic below.

    Acting : Although the story is quite boring, the actors and actresses have performed well enough in this episode.

    Direction : The director could have done a little better. I miss the good work of the director enough in this episode.

    Story and Dialogue : Speaking of this little body, it must be said that this episode story is written in a boring way. Yes we can say that this episode was written to extend the story but it can also be written in an interesting way which is not written here. All in all the story is not a very good one and the use of a very high quality dialogue is not observed in this episode.

    Soundtrack and Background score : There are no soundtracks in this episode. The background score is fairly good.

    Cinematography and Editing : Both the cinematography and the editing are fairly fine. Neither good nor bad.

    Other Departments : Lighting, set, location, recording and vfx are fairly good.

    Overall Episode : All in all, I will give this episode only seven out of ten stars.

    Thanks so much for reading my review.When I review episodes, that review is based entirely on my own personal ideas. Seeing the episodes of any season of any series, I think I write it in the review. I know, maybe in my reviews I often write something bad, like the writers didn't write the story well or the director didn't do well or the actors-actresses over-acted. But I don't use foul language or profanity in my reviews. If I unknowingly hurt someone in my review or if someone feels bad after reading my review, then I sincerely apologize to him.



    I thank you for reading my review so patiently.

    Unrealistic, overrated. I cannot stand Love.

    You season 2 is just trying too hard. The storyline, characters are not believable and the whole "LA scene" is totally over the top. Poor casting for his love interest as "Love" is not lovable, charming, attractive, sexy, and definitely not worth anyone's trouble or infatuation. There is ZERO chemistry between them. Joe suddenly has random bouts of a moral compass?Please. Feel like they are trying to turn this show into Dexter, but it's just laughable.

    Not a fan of Love

    Could have casted someone more believable. She's super plain. Beck was beautiful and sexy

      There's a scene where Love and Forty are playing tennis together. 40 and Love are used in tennis scoring.
