Love Bites is an anthology series that explores how complicated, crazy, and sometimes even funny love can really be. Each episode has three different love stories with its own separate characters and themes. These stories also are meant to take place around the same time and are often shown overlapping one another. While each story is unique in its own way, there are three main characters that tie the show together. They are the happily married couple Judd and Colleen and a surrogate mother named Annie. It only ran for one season, and there are only 8 episodes. So the question is, is it any good? And the answer is sometimes. Love Bites is a mixed bag as some of the storylines are cute and funny, and some just don't work. For example, in Episode 6 there is a cute story with Anna Camp about a man who loses his girlfriend to his favorite baseball player and must fight to re-win her love. I loved it and thought it was super cute and funny. In the same episode, a couple is buying a house only to find out the wife had hooked up with the owner in the past. This story tried too hard to be funny and was just awkward. That's kind of how all the episodes are. The show is somewhat edgy, but it was also made for TV, so there is nothing too far out there in it. For the most part, it still feels relevant, but there are defiantly parts of it that feel dated now. I also thought that the show's central characters weren't that interesting or compelling and that their parts were always the least interesting part of the show. I think it might have had better luck if it had better characters that tied it all together. I will say that they managed to pack a lot of big names into the show for a small show, such as Anna Camp, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Keegan-Michael Key, and Skylar Austin, to name a few. There are also think the show would've thought it. All in all, though, it was a fun little show to binge.
Think of 'Love Bites' as a series of mini romantic comedies. There are three small plots within each episode, but the main character(s) in each plot line somehow connect to the three main cast members Becki Newton, Greg Grunberg, and Constance Zimmer.
The stories all have a basic theme, either 'love found' or 'love lost'. The writers have done a great job in providing variety so far, and one could imagine similar situations happening in reality. The show does not shy away from the nitty-gritty details of relationships. The humour is spot-on, especially with Becki Newton, who played Amanda from Ugly Betty. Becki is so brilliant in comedic roles.
Many of the guest stars are recognizable from other TV shows. My personal favourite so far is Matt, who plays Joey on Mad Men. And Michelle Trachtenberg is thankfully more bearable in this series.
It's nice to watch a RomCom series that has a brilliant group of actors and actresses, that's not cheesy, and serves plenty of chuckles and even some laugh-out-loud moments. Hopefully this series is here to stay.
Love it!

LOVE IT! It's very dynamic jumping from one story to another. Every episode is different and funny and even nicer is that the stories are connected somehow. One of a kind. Never seen that kind of TV show before. I never get bored watching the series and i had lots of fun doing that. I am really sorry that there is only one season.
I wouldn't consider myself a movie or television snob.
I like something to be fun, make me laugh, all while being well done.
I love this show!
Sure, there's a lot of plot lines going on, but that just means that there are more stories to explore.
As for the quality of the show,
I would say that as far as summer television shows go, this is among the best I've seen.
And you can't get a better cast.
I absolutely recommend!

The show is sub-divided into 3 stories for each episode. They are ostensibly related to somebody in the on-going storyline involving the three leads Becki Newton, Greg Grunberg, and Constance Zimmer even in a tangential way.
With 3 separate vignettes in each episode, it's hard to maintain the flow except for the most well written ones. Some are inevitably better than others. When it works, it's hilarious and compelling TV. When it doesn't work, it's just boring.
It is certainly unlike most other shows. Maybe this is the problem with the show. It's just too structurally out there. It's tough for people to switch stories like that. They're not used to it.
