Made For Love centers on a tech startup called Gogul -- seriously, that's it's name -- which has designed a chip to facilitate the ultimate human connection. Called Made For Love, the chip allows one person in the relationship to track their partner and see whatever they lay eyes on.

How this plays out: In season 1, CEO Byron Gogul (Billy Magnussen) implants a chip in his wife Hazel Green's (Cristin Milioti) head. She eventually nearly commits suicide, demands a divorce and asks for the chip to be immediately removed.

The final episode of season 1 sees Hazel return to Byron, but this time she's the one taking advantage of him: using his technology to treat her dad's (Ray Romano) cancer.

In season 2, Hazel, now in relative control of her life, explores the Hub, Gogul's mysterious facility. The worker minions there develop the relationship-improving technology to even more extreme and misjudged ends.

Absolutely every character in this show is insane, unpredictable and goofily charming. Romano's Herb lives in a caravan (well, in season 2 it's a replica of his caravan inside the Hub) with his sex doll wife named Diane. He has few ambitions in life, but his reconnection with Hazel is commendable.

Hazel, meanwhile, is secretly drugging Herb so he can be treated without ever finding out she's agreed to let Byron help them. Hazel and Byron's twisted relationship -- Byron essentially imprisoned and controlled Hazel for 10 years -- kind of gets a fresh start, but this time Byron wants to learn what a healthy relationship actually looks like.

The balance of making sure we don't sympathize too much with Byron is capably handled -- he continues to do evil things for the benefit of his company -- and Milioti plays Hazel with the perfect amount of sarcasm; Hazel spends ample time death-glaring Byron and his Gogul "Gamily" (seriously, that's what they call themselves).

Season 2 advances Gogul's mind-merging technology to cover more concepts involving human consciousness. These ideas (that won't be named to avoid spoilers) have been covered in shows such as Severance and, yes, Black Mirror -- ideas refracted through very different tones.
