Viewed: Season 1

A brand new show from HBO Max, Made for Love is surprisingly good for something I'd not previously heard about. It's not great, nor is it overly memorable, but it's creative and features a winning cast. It's especially fun to see Ray Romano here, who basically plays another exaggerated version of himself...this time as a widower who's in a committed relationship with a sex doll. Since this is a HBO Max series, it's clear that Warner Bros. opened the money purse to make it, as this is an expensive-looking show with strong production values all-round. It's also welcomely brisk, as the first season only features eight half-hour episodes. There's not much else to discuss; Made for Love is sufficiently enjoyable, but not essential TV.
