Judd Apatow's Series LOVE Lukewarm Lunacy Better Left aLOne

LOVE, an original Netflix series (2016-18) co-created by the likable and bankable Judd Appatow, tanks with this annoying romantic comedy about awkward 40 something adults who are self-destructing and self-absorbed. Why would this appeal to anyone? It would if the show could make you laugh, relate or even form a love/hate relationship with the main characters. However, the two leads, Gus (Paul Rusk, "Super Fun Night" series) and Micky (Gillian Jacobs, "Community" series) are either overly abject or altogether objectionable. They are portrayed as malleable losers who lose their shit from time to time in an off-putting manner that is puerile and cringeworthy. The mismatched pair, Gus (s super-geek) and Micky (a sexy single) are both screw-ups whom one ultimately expects to see screw one another. The sex scenes seen are all eww. Still, we're supposed to be rooting for these two knuckleheads to get together in bed. I dread the audience that this would draw appeal. Perhaps, its holds allure for those dealing with their own demons, addictions and self-doubting convictions. I wouldn't know and the show doesn't know which way to go about making the situations laughable or credible. The strength of the show (which is limited) comes from some of the supporting cast who are more diverting and deserving of more to do. This includes the jaded, child actress Gus attempts to tutor on set played by Apatow's real life daughter, Iris Apatow and Micky's kooky boss played by Brett Gelman ("Fleabag" series). The side characters aside, there's little else to like unless you like to endure dimwits their utmost to make a mess out of their lives, loves and little else. I would love to see Judd Apatow create another comic show like his brilliant, early success with FREAKS and GEEKS that deserved more time on air. Apatow's recent series LOVE is lunacy that best left alone but for the forlorn.
