Reflections #11: Love Story & Heated Rivalry
What if I said there are more than a few parallels?
Between interviews with actors and scholars, the tvscholar Reflections series interrogates the television on my mind lately, whether it’s something new and buzzy or a series I’m finally getting around to. These reflections will always be behind a paywall, but subscribing helps support my work as a freelance TV critic and allows me to keep doing this! Happy watching.
For extra credit, you can read my recent interview with Julianne Nicholson (aka Sinatra from Paradise and Dance Mom from Hacks), and catch up on my Industry recaps (get readyyyy for the finale on Sunday, it’s quite the episode).
In all honesty, I’m still trying to pin down what makes Love Story so absorbing. It’s not unlike how I felt watching Heated Rivalry, which is perplexing, because no one is having gay sex in Love Story.
