Love Life plot and cast

Narrated by British actress Lesley Manville, the series follows Anna Kendrick as Darby Carter, who has a burgeoning career in the art auction world in New York City - but not the self-confidence to match, especially when it comes to men.

The series focuses on her love life, kicking off with an episode set in 2012 when she meets Augie (Jin Ha) at a karaoke night.

All the episodes are titled after the men Darby has relationships with - from her former boss, to a perfect-seeming chef, and all the way up to "The Person" who may or may not be Darby's soulmate.

Other cast members include Zoë Chao as Darby's best friend and roommate, and Nick Thune as a romantic partner whose awful influence is more detrimental than a tolerant Darby realises.
