#Love Review: Directed by Balaji Mohan and created by Soundarya Rajinikanth, Netflix’s Tamil series stars Aishwarya Lekshmi as Tara Krishnan and Arjun Das as Matthew Jebraj, with Arjun Chidambaram, Raja Rudrakodi and others. The series has six episodes, each with a runtime of roughly 30 to 40 minutes.
#Love Review
Netflix Tamil series #Love revolves around Tara and Matthew, two individuals who have contrasting views on how people should be involved in relationships. Tara is certain that if two people have compatibility, then they cannot make the wrong decisions, partially because of the lessons she has learned from her own experience. On the other hand, Matthew is practically the opposite of Tara. His view is that if there is a connection between the two people, then all other aspects of the relationship will follow.
At first, the competition at work becomes a 60-day challenge for them to live out their respective dating philosophies, but inevitably, things become more complicated because of the attraction between them. In this case, what I like about this approach is that the app dating competition is not actually the end goal of the show. For me, Tara is the character who makes Netflix’s #Love what it is emotionally. She has constructed Found around compatibility since she desperately wants some control over that which already hurt her. The failed marriage of her parents and the betrayal of her partner make her approach any relationship like a puzzle that can be solved with the right knowledge.
What I liked about the show is that they do not present Tara as a stereotypical career woman who needs a man to teach her how to love. There is genuine kindness in the way she acts towards her employees, and as her well-structured personality begins falling apart, Aishwarya Lekshmi delivers these moments perfectly. My only issue is that I would have loved to see the writing dig further into her background. We know why she turned out that way, but instead of showing it through her actions, the series often tells it to us.
In many ways, Matthew serves as a good contrast to Tara rather than as a separate entity. He is an arrogant, playful and instinctive person, and Arjun Das has the right screen presence that makes him instantly likeable. The voice of the actor suits Matthew well, particularly in those scenes when Matthew teases and challenges the girl, believing in the chemistry between them. What I also found interesting was how the arrogant shell was peeled off and revealed Matthew’s vulnerability.
The connection between Matthew and his stepsister Mia, as well as the complex family background of the man, provided the elements that are often missing in the main love story. However, Matthew’s character development seems somewhat weaker than what Tara undergoes during the series.
The most compelling aspect of the Netflix series #Love actually lies in the way the show takes advantage of other romantic relationships in order to disprove Tara and Matthew’s theory. For instance, the plot that includes Sylvia made me consider how quickly one loses enthusiasm in marriage and how keeping a romantic relationship requires more than just picking the right person. Similarly, Arun’s plot brings yet another perspective into play, especially his struggle with coming out and being understood by others. The reason why these side plots were so interesting is that they proved to me that love isn’t always a matter of chemistry and compatibility but may simply be about acceptance of one’s personality.
It is also at this juncture that I believe the 2026 Tamil series #Love begins to lose some steam. Tara and Matthew’s discussions on relationships are very intriguing; however, beyond a certain point, one starts feeling that the whole issue of chemistry versus compatibility will be discussed time and again. Their own behaviour has clearly conveyed #Love’s message throughout the series, so there was no need for them to discuss the same issue yet again. What I would have liked to see more often is instances where their actions revealed the flaw or inadequacy of their beliefs.
The rivalry in the professional sphere is yet another aspect of the show that is becoming weaker for me as time goes by. Sometimes the rivalry between Found and Find My Bae can become so over-exaggerated that the whole story goes too far from the realistic love story that is much more interesting. The same issue arises in the scenes when the characters make some grand gestures. For example, Matthew giving a ride to Tara via private helicopter sounds very exciting and relevant to the world of the rich startups, but at the same time it makes their love look too perfect.
Netflix #Love Review: Summing Up
Overall, the 2026 #Love series is a decent watch, but it definitely doesn’t explore all of its positive aspects. I enjoyed the fact that it tries to examine whether algorithms and compatibility ratings can actually explain the randomness of human desire. It was also great that the show did not confine itself to the analysis of the couple’s relationship only. However, the frequent dialogues, overstated workplace drama, and sometimes rather superficial character development make the series miss its goal.
