‘Modern Love’s Tone Ranges From Earnest to Humorous, But Always Vulnerability
Preview
The touching, first-rate series, Modern Love, based on The New York Times‘ long-running column of the same name adapts a collection of reader-submitted essays about their own romantic lives.
“There can be a range within that [theme],” says Times editor and consulting producer Daniel Jones, noting that some episodes are deeply earnest while others take a more humorous approach.
“But the tone is always vulnerability.”
Highlights include How I Met Your Mother‘s Cristin Milioti as a woman who discovers she got pregnant by a guy (Charles Warburton) she casually dated; Tina Fey and John Slattery as a couple who use tennis as a marital aid; and the tale of a singleton whose daddy issues bubble up at work, with Ozark Emmy winner Julia Garner and directed by former Shameless star Emmy Rossum.
