Gus and Mickey’s relationship was never perfect, but it’s committed to being realistic.
Netflix original Love has been acing the sometimes ugly and always unpredictable subject of dating for two seasons. However, its third and final season begins with a new committed relationship in full swing after the last finale. Fans of the show’s candidness about the not-yet-exclusive romance between Mickey and Gus may have been wary of their commitment, but Love has proven to find the drama in even a committed relationship. Shown authentically, their relationship represents one of the most real depictions of a new relationship on television.
Love is a comedy/drama series that follows Mickey (Gillian Jacobs) and Gus (Paul Rust) after their “meet cute” at a gas station. They become enthralled in a very complicated courtship that spans two seasons. It’s similar to another Judd Apatow produced series about millennial love, Girls, except way better and without Lena Dunham! It’s comedic look at characters fucked up each in their way is enough to applaud, but it takes on the word love in a way we would never associate on television–the sometimes messy, sometimes regretful experiences that still constitute as some form of love. Even at their worst (and believe me both of the protagonists can be awful people), we still root for Mickey and Gus to end up together.
