Romance as a genre has a knack for being wonderfully escapist, indulging in fantasies of meeting the perfect person and overcoming trials to secure the relationship. Whether it has a whimsical sheen or a more grounded, intense approach, romances are generally a step away from the reality we are acquainted with, the exception to the rule most people experience. After all, that's why when we hear a love story that's out of the ordinary, we label it "rom-com worthy." There's certainly nothing wrong with escapism, but it's always refreshing to see another take on the genre, and HBO's Love Life is a two-season anthology series that illuminates the wonder and beauty of the kind of romances we see in everyday life. It's a love letter to real and messy relationships that appear over a lifetime, where finding "the one" is not as important as the others you meet along the way.
