The beauty of Modern Love, based on the long-running weekly column in The New York Times, as creator John Carney said in an interview with this writer, is you could dip into it at any time, in any order. Also, there is no rule saying you have to like all the episodes. At just over half an hour it does not call for a great investment of time and for that small parcel of your day, delivers rather sweet love stories. There is a doctor (Minnie Driver) holding on to problematic sports car as the last memory of her husband (Tom Burke) who she loses to cancer (‘On a Serpentine Road, With the Top Down’). ‘The Night Girl Finds a Day Boy’ is just that — a girl with delayed sleep phase syndrome (Zoë Chao) meets a teacher (Gbenga Akinnagbe) but their dating is fraught with circadian rhythm difficulties. ‘Strangers on a (Dublin) Train’, Lucy Boynton and Kit Harington, decide to go old school and not exchange numbers. They plan to meet at the station in two weeks, but the lockdown comes in the way. A stand-up comic (Dominique Fishback) remembers her schoolgirl crush (Isaac Powell), which stubbornly stayed in best-friends zone in ‘A Life Plan for Two, Followed by One’.
