LoveLife is on BBCOne in an hour so set your alarms because the first episode is a stellar one
Well, series two follows new lead Marcus Watkins whose journey of romantic introspection begins after he befriends the magnetic Mia Hines at Darby’sFrom the first few moments of the episode, which is appropriately titled ‘Mia Hines’, we get a sense of the familiar comfort of Marcus’ ownto Emily . But it’s only when speaking to Mia outside – and commenting on the cringe-worthy dance moves of the people inside – that he starts to light up.
His multiple message crafting attempts are quickly met with a response from Mia who actually texts him back the exact joke he originally wanted to send. His wide grin says it all: he’s in trouble. As Marcus says to Mia on their spontaneous evening trip to the MoMA: “This isn’t illicit, you said it yourself, ‘We’re just hanging’.”But within Mia there’s a spark that Marcus wasn’t expecting and a feeling of “being seen” that he just doesn’t get with Emily. Mia presses him on the topic of not only dating Black women, but seeing Black women as relationship-worthy. It’s something he’s never thought about but quickly opens up about the fact he feels he’s just “ended up with Emily”.
But really, it’s the slivers of smart dialogue throughout this first episode that will leave you wanting more – and perhaps reflecting on your own love life.In one scene – where Marcus tries to rationalise his growing feelings for Maya by reflecting on his marriage to Emily – with his best friend Yogi , he says, rather profoundly: “We fell in love with these versions of each other, right? And now, the dust has settled and bro, we’re just us.
