What's the Story?

EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT LOVE follows Birdy and Maggie just after moving to London to navigate their mid-20s. Maggie (Emma Appleton) has a go-getter attitude, and often leaps without thinking twice. On the other hand, Birdy (Bel Powley) is cautious and must think at least three times before making a single move. Nevertheless, as childhood best friends, they're inseparable. But when a surprise date that Maggie sets up for Birdy goes a little too well, will their old friendship survive new beginnings?

Our review:
Parents say : Not yet rated
Kids say : Not yet rated

This series is a chaotic and comedic joyride. Everything I Know About Love is funny, with witty dialogue and hilarious scenarios to fill it out. The bond between best friends and the rest of the friend group (Aliyah Odoffin and Marli Siu) is refreshing, imperfect, and heartwarming. This series has a plot that is seemingly all about romance, but under the surface, friendship and community are at its heart. The language, sex, and nudity make this more suitable for older teens.
