A darkly humorous story of modern love and divorce, HBO Max’s “Made For Love” also centered on the dark and twisted side of technology. Season one followed Hazel Green (Cristin Milioti), a thirty-something woman on the run after ten years in a suffocating marriage to tech billionaire Byron Gogol (Billy Magnussen), as smart as he is insufferable. After discovering that her husband implanted a monitoring device—the Made for Love chip—in her brain, allowing him to track her, watch her and know her “emotional data,” Hazel fled to her desert hometown to take refuge with her outcast father Herbert (Ray Romano) and his synthetic partner, Diane. In the second season, in order to save her father’s life, Hazel returns to the Hub, Byron’s high-tech palace. But once inside, she and Byron both become ensnared by Gogol’s newest revolutionary (and dangerous) technology.
Season two of the acclaimed series “Made For Love” returns with two new episodes on Thursday, April 28. Two episodes will debut each week on subsequent Thursdays, with the final two installments of the eight-episode season debuting on May 19.
