Modern Love Tokyo arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Character-driven storytelling at its most effective — Modern Love Tokyo earns every emotional beat it goes for. This seven-episode anthology features a cast of leading actors and depicts various forms of "love," such as love almost forgotten, love between sons and mothers, and love that transcends borders. It was aired in 2022. What elevates Modern Love Tokyo is a refusal to let any character off the hook too easily. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.
