Can their romance survive the fact that they live in essentially two separate realities? (Driver’s character Stephanie is a successful doctor, but her husband worries that the family is going bankrupt? Hm.) In the second episode, “The Night Girl Finds a Day Boy,” Jordan ( Gbenga Akinnagbe) falls for Zoe (Zoë Chao), who has a medical condition that causes her to sleep during the day and work at night.

The eight episodes (all with overly wordy titles) begin with “On a Serpentine Road, with the Top Down,” which stars Minnie Driver as a mother of two daughters whose husband is pressuring her to sell the sports car she’s held onto for sentimental reasons. Similar to Prime Video’s “Solos,” “Modern Love” has germs of interesting ideas, but the brief run times don’t allow for character relationships or emotional arcs to grow or breathe.

But “Modern Love” feints toward authenticity and sincerity rather than thoroughly capturing either genuine love is hard to build in a half-hour, and most of these eight episodes don’t quite pull it off. Perhaps for viewers, some of the plots here will be broadly recognizable, and therefore comforting in their familiarity: friends who jump into bed and then regret it a spouse who gets sick a chance sighting of a former lover years later. Contrived situations, underwritten characters, and a lack of chemistry between many of these romantic pairings mean that “Modern Love” often drags.
