We weren’t especially big fans of the first season of HBO Max’s Love Life, which managed to squander both an interesting concept—tracking multiple years of a character’s love life across a single season of TV—and the charms of its star, Anna Kendrick, in pursuit of what turned out to be some not especially new or trenchant observations on the rom-com pattern. As the first (non-Sesame Street) bit of original content for the new streaming service, the series does have a bit of a pedigree at this point—enough to get another season, and another eminently charming star to put through its romantic paces: The Good Place’s William Jackson Harper.
