In LA, Mickey Dobbs (Gillian Jacobs) is tired of her job at a podcasting company, has a loser sex partner, and tons of personal issues. Gus Cruikshank (Paul Rust) is a geeky aspiring TV writer working as a teacher for spoiled child actor Arya Hopkins (Iris Apatow) on a middling TV show. His girlfriend cheats on him and leaves him. Both Mickey and Gus are deeply flawed. Chipper Bertie Bauer (Claudia O'Doherty) joins Mickey as her new roommate fresh off the boat from Australia. One day, Gus helps Mickey at a convenience store.I love Community and Gillian is a great part of that. I don't know anything about Paul Rust. The odd part of this show is that a nerdy looking guy like Rust gets plenty of hot women. Sure, he gets dumped by a cute girl at the start but then he gets a threesome with two hot young sisters ... and he blows it. All of it pales in comparison to a goddess like Gillian. The show explains it by giving Mickey a mountain of personality issues. It could have played into the superficial difference between the two leads' looks but they rarely go there. At least, they don't go there enough. Judd Apatow is overseeing this show with Rust and his wife. The show has his brand of painfully personal awkward humor. The mix is pretty good. Mostly, I like all the characters. Most importantly, I like these two leads and their roles. They pull me into their relationship and O'Doherty is a terrific third wheel. Even Judd's daughter Iris actually work despite the nepotism. It's cancelled after three seasons on Netflix.

Just finished season 3 and from season 1 to the end I loved watching every moment. Gus' cringe worthy awkward moments and Nikki's ups and downs as she battled various issues. Love is by far one of the realist shows I've ever seen and the ending in season 3 was a great series ender and did not in anyway feel forced. Way to go on this one!
