'Perfect' series compared to Black Mirror streaming free despite studio's controversial move

The show's star has spoken out against the decision A series that's been hailed as 'literally perfect' and likened to Black Mirror, which was subsequently 'deleted' by the original studio, is now available for free streaming. All episodes of Made For Love can be streamed on Channel 4 at no additional cost. This includes both seasons one and two, originally released between 2022 and 2023. ‌ Described by the broadcaster as a comedy-drama with a Black Mirror-esque vibe, the plot revolves around a woman who attempts to escape her stifling marriage. However, her tech tycoon husband has implanted a device in her brain, enabling him to monitor her every move and emotion. ‌ The lead role of Hazel in Made For Love is played by Cristin Milioti, known for her roles as the Mother in How I Met Your Mother and Sofia Falcone in The Penguin. She also featured in two acclaimed Black Mirror episodes, including USS Callister. The cast also boasts Ray Ramano, Paula Abdul and Billy Magnussen, known for his roles in Boardwalk Empire and the Lilo and Stitch remake, reports Surrey Live. Despite garnering a dedicated fanbase and achieving an impressive score of 97% on Rotten Tomatoes, the series was cancelled after its second season. Moreover, the US studio behind it decided to 'delete' the show from its own platforms. The move resulted in the show no longer being available to US viewers, with Warner Bros pulling it from HBO Max - a surprising call considering the platform had originally commissioned it. It's thought this move was financially driven and Milioti herself recently voiced her discontent on a podcast. In an interview with Marc Maron for the WTF Podcast, she expressed: "It's so f**ked up. That happened because, umm, we were a tax write-off. I did it for Max... I just know that they ripped it off the platform... like when they ripped Westworld off. And it's such a bummer because, you know, that was three years of our lives." ‌ Milioti continued to share her thoughts: "There are so many parts of that show that have become like eerily prescient. It was all about people in this world of like advanced technology and utterly unable to communicate with each other. You can't even buy it. It's so weird... I'm also like... it's like on a USB stick somewhere probably. Just put it up." However, Milioti might not be aware that Channel 4 offers UK viewers a chance to rediscover this hidden gem, with many devotees eagerly advocating for others to watch it. One viewer took to the internet to voice their praise: "This show is literally perfect. A MUST WATCH dare I say. The casting of the actors, the dark comedy, the premise and the concept regarding the future of love was done so well. And also the pacing was very good I might add, none of the scenes seemed to drag. A perfect binge. I was hooked from the first scene. The show kept up the intrigue and the comic relief, while also maintaining emotional depth. Billy Magnussen and Cristin Milioti's acting skills: spot on." Another fan chimed in, expressing admiration for its uniqueness: "This is one of the most original shows I've seen in a long time. The pacing and execution is perfect. The different dynamics they explore tow the line of brevity and weight in such a beautiful way while still having a great balance of comedy. I'm so excited about this show." On the topic of how it stands out despite similarities to other programmes, a third individual shared their viewpoint: "I was hooked from the first seconds of watching. I personally think that Billy Magnussen is a highly underrated actor so I was elated when I saw he was starring. He's great in it just as I figured he would be .This show is not like all the others being churned out right now. I'm so sick of everything being so similar that they are al just looking and feeling the same to me at this point. Made for Love is an original in a time of not much originality. I love it!"

Ryan Reynolds Trolls Neil Patrick Harris for 'Stealing' Deadpool in New VR Game

It's official: Ryan Reynolds has been benched in favor of another actor for the latest Deadpool gig—sort of. Fortunately, Marvel fans and followers of the foul-mouthed superhero don't have anything to worry about regarding Reynolds portraying the character on the big screen. He remains the voice, personality and man behind the mask of Deadpool on that front, but it'll be a How I Met Your Mother fan-favorite handling a new voiceover gig for the character. It was recently revealed that Neil Patrick Harris will be the voice of the popular superhero in the new Meta Quest Deadpool VR game. Although Reynolds likely had no actual issue with this, he made sure to take a few jabs while trolling his fellow actor for "stealing" Deadpool, calling him a "butthole." While it's unknown if Reynolds was offered to do the VR game voiceover, it'd be surprising if the decision to go with another actor was made without his knowledge. Regardless, he obviously doesn't seem to have any real issue with it, and his sarcastic response is what fans have come to expect from the actor. Marvel dropped the trailer on its website, stating that Deadpool VR is "not for the faint of heart, so put on your big kid undies and strap in for a violent, expletive-ridden good time." The release date currently shows just "2025," and it'll be available only on Meta Quest 3/ Reynolds Trolls Neil Patrick Harris for 'Stealing' Deadpool in New VR Game first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 8, 2025
