Modern Love (2021)

'On a Serpentine Road, with the Top Down'. Minnie Driver doesn't want to sell her faithful old Triumph Stag. With Tom Burke, Don Wycherley, Zara Devlin. Written and directed by John Carney.

'The Night Girl Finds a Day Boy'. Gbenga Akinnahbe and Zoe Chao. Written by Sarah Heyward. Sweet.

'Strangers on a (Dublin) Train'. Kit Harington and Lucy Boynton meet on a train, agree to meet again in two weeks, but there's a lockdown.. With Jack Reynor and Miranda Richardson. Written and directed by John Carney.

'A Life Plan for Two, Followed by One.' Dominique Fishback (Milan Ray when younger) has a crush on Isaac Powell (Pierson Salvador), who's her best friend. Written by Sarra-Jane Piat-Kelly and Dime Davis and Marta Cunningham, who also directed.

'Am I? Maybe This Quiz Will Tell Me' written and directed by Logan George and Celine Held. Exhausting episode showing the chaos of living as a teenaged American.

'In the Waiting Room of Estranged Spouses'. Maybe the best episode in which war veteran finds happiness with the woman whose husband went off with his wife, particularly the way the flashbacks all take place in the scene e.g. throwing explosives / cans in the supermarket. Good playing, Garret Hedlund and Anna Paquin. Written by Susan Soon He Stanton and directed by John Crowley.

'How Do You Remember Me?' Written and directed by Andrew Rannells. A couple spend the entire episode walking slowly towards each other, remembering (rather differently) a fling they'd had.

'A Second Embrace, with Hearts and Eyes Open'. Sophie Okonedo and Tobias Menzies get back together. Directed by John Carney and written by his brother Kiernan.

Noticed a couple of things that appeared to link episodes but sure there are many.
