This trailer for Amazon’s Modern Love doesn’t exactly exude depth. Or any semblance of truth. Seemingly cut from the Love Actually cloth, which is death to me. Give me stories about love affairs that don’t pan out, and spare me the happy vibes. Or play songs like Neil Young‘s “Only Love Can Break Your Heart,” Bob Dylan‘s “Love Is Just A Four-Letter Word,” Boy George‘s “Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?”, J. Geils‘ “Love Stinks” or Burt Bacharach‘s “I’ll Never Fall In Love Again”.
