Amazon’s latest television offering sounds great on paper: an anthology series exploring love in the Big Apple, starring the likes of Anne Hathaway, Dev Patel, Tina Fey, John Slattery (Mad Men), and Andrew Scott (the Hot Priest of Fleabag), where each episode clocks in at around 30 minutes. With those bonafides, Modern Love should be […]
