If we see The Hub as an organism - a mega-machine representative of the overall body of cogs (employees, Gogol, Hazel, Herbert, etc.) - then the digital network itself, that is, the Heaven-like “cloud” is truly a space that is made for love. With their respective consciousnesses uploaded into a network (not specified as a/ the cloud), we see a version to the characters that is non-existent with the actual physical individuals. With this current episode, we learn just a bit more about the digital Hazel and Byron, referred to as “Other Hazel” and “Other Byron”. In my earlier reviews of Made for Love Season 1, I wrote about how The Hub is a structure for placelessness and infinitude thereof. From here, I want to talk about space and time. The Hub symbolizes “made for love” in both a literal and figurative sense. Therefore, I would like to argue that the idea of Made for Love lies not just in the chip but Gogol’s Hub itself. Hazel still does not trust her ex-husband, Byron Gogol (Billy Magnussen), especially when it comes to his technological innovations. I got to see next week’s episode, so for now, I can say the secrets between the main characters will run deeper and be tougher to keep and it all comes back to the ancient notions of surveillance and trust. In turn, she does not tell him about the severed Herringbone finger preserved in the house’s freezer. Herbert Green (Ray Romano) continues to lie to his daughter, Hazel (Cristin Milioti), about his illness. While the Made for Love chip has been removed from Hazel’s brain, there is still this idea of secrets being kept or being revealed. Allow me to dissect the episode’s themes into a few small sections. So much depth is present in not just the protagonists but the supporting characters as well. In this second episode of Season 2, we briefly see the physical on-screen return of Herringbone (Dan Bakkedahl) and Hodeck (Noma Dumezweni) as well as that of Bangles (Patti Harrison).Īs I discussed in the previous episode, there is a major improvement in Season 2 in terms of the teleplay screenwriting. Jackson’s Jasper, who was promoted to a series regular role for Season 2. “We’re Losing Time” makes the promise that the characters we see in Season 1 will indeed have longer-term roles. My initial impression/ critique of the first Made for Love Season 2 episode was that the series ignores secondary characters that are introduced in the previous season. After making it through the grueling application process, Jasper reports for his first day at Gogol, and quickly attempts to reconnect with Hazel. When Herb begins to notice lapses in time, Hazel calls for reinforcement - by way of Bangles. Plot SynopsisĪccording to WarnerMedia, here is the synopsis for Made for Love Season 2 Episode 2.
