I dont want a break from you.
The opening minutes ofLoveseason 2 are utterly perfect.
It acts as a strong, immediate reminder that this aint your usual Hollywood love story.
The seasons premiere does a good job at reminding viewers how dysfunctional and toxic Mickey and Gus are together.
Mickey wants to be alone.
And yet, these two keep finding themselves with each other.
They simultaneously push each other further to the edge while also pulling each other back.
Its probably because there are less explosions being set off accordingly.
This is a show that is entirely satisfied with talking and getting to know characters.
These are characters that you just want to hang out with.
These episodes continually juxtapose Mickey and Gus lives against one another, illustrating what similar paths theyre leading.
It highlights the value in taking in those smaller moments and making a meal out of them.
When these kids prove that theyve actually learned something about love, I couldnt have been happier.
Something thats going well sometimes just means that its taking longer for the messiness to kick in.
Mickey and Gus work through their damage, but it feels like cracks are starting to show in them.
Loveis a show thats just so damn easy and human to consume.
The season still ends on a contemplative note, even if it is a more of an affirmative one.
And with these two, hitting one extreme probably means that the other one isnt that far behind.
If a show can do that, its definitely doing something right.
