A Netflix series with a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score is the ideal watch for fans of a certain Steve Carell and Ryan Gosling classic.
Dubbed the best romcom of all time, Crazy, Stupid, Love has rejoined Netflix to the delight of die-hard fans.
Starring The Four Seasons' Carell and Barbie's Gosling, the movie managed to convert those who disliked the genre thanks to its hilarious script and its unbelievable plot twist.
It follows Carell as a recently-divorced singleton and Gosling as a suave womanizer, as the pair try to navigate the complicated world of dating.

If you've already re-watched the hit movie and fancy something new but equally as entertaining, then this three-season series is a must-watch.
Created by comedy legends Judd Apatow, Lesley Arfin and Paul Rust, the Netflix drama is set in Los Angeles and follows two unlikely lovers as their worlds collide.
Mickey (Gillian Jacobs) is a strong-willed, chaotic radio producer, battling addiction and commitment issues. Meanwhile, Gus (Rust) is a nerdy, well-meaning aspiring writer whose soft nature Mickey is unfamiliar with.
After a chance encounter at a convenience store, their lives become entangled, leading to a rollercoaster of awkward dates and emotional breakthroughs.
Over the course of three gripping seasons, the series dives deep into what it really means to be in a relationship, charting what it takes to be truly vulnerable as well as the highs and lows of modern relationships.
The series in question is called Love and it ran between 2016 and 2018.

Its honest exploration of love, with light-hearted, tongue-in-cheek moments underpinning the entire show, makes it an enjoyable watch.
And if you loved Crazy, Stupid, Love for those same reasons, chances are you'll eat this right up.
Love has racked up an 87 percent Rotten Tomatoes rating with both audience members and critics.
One person penned: "It was funny and smart, never dull. Perfect escapism entertainment. After I finished binge watching, I was sad it was over."
A second fan wrote: "I constantly find myself rewatching this, just for that 'comfort' feeling. Though every character has their flaws, they remain lovable and interesting."
A third reckoned: "Best show I've seen in a long time! Great humor, great writing in general."
Meanwhile the critics' consensus reads: "Judd Apatow's Love is an honest look at building a relationship, helped along by its two appealing leads."
All three seasons of Love are available to stream now on Netflix.
