Love, Classified (2022 TV Movie)
2/10
An attempt to be timely in their inclusivity falls a little flat for my taste.

Famous romance author Emilia Bloom comes home on her book tour...at least that's what she says, she is really home to take it easy after suffering from a heart attack. Unfortunately, she "abandoned" her adult children after their father who was her beloved husband passed away. The daughter, Taylor Bloom, who is altogether too whiny is having difficulty forgiving her mother.

There is a lesbian and a gay storyline in addition to the death of a parent, just in case that isn't your cup of tea-you are forewarned.

The character of Taylor was far too needy for an adult. It seems like she could use a big dose of tough love (I did appreciate that the cardiologist Franki does give her a little-kudos to the writers on that).

I have no issue with love "being on a spectrum" or with lesbianism (my best friend is actually a lesbian), but the idea that you can change someone from being straight to gay is just as ridiculous as the idea that you can make someone gay straight! I am sorry but that needs to be said...and frankly if you were Franki, why would you want to? There are plenty of wonderful lesbians out there.

There was a lot of effort to bring this story into today's speak...which I guess I appreciate, but overall this was a fairly sad and depressing story that had little to no actual plot and lost my interest fairly quickly. Honestly, I think lesbian cardiologist Franki could have her own show...and she should get better script writers!

This was a miss for me and I can't really recommend it. There are better love stories for just about all walks of life out there.
