“You can quickly verify this by rewatching The Social Network: Received back in 2010 as a withering portrait of Facebook, the movie suggests that the company’s fatal flaw has to do with misunderstanding the nature of friendship, which doesn’t hit quite as hard now that they’ve moved on to facilitating both QAnon and genocide. “The problem with satirizing Silicon Valley is that the tech industry moves so fast and breaks so many things that it’s impossible for filmmakers to keep up,” Matthew Dessem writes in his review of the series for Slate: Is Made for Love science fiction or is it a romantic comedy? It’s really both of those things, but - above all - the series is a sendup of Silicon Valley tech culture. Through the chip, Byron’s able to watch Hazel’s every move as she flees to her desert hometown to take refuge with her aging widower father Herbert (Ray Romano) and his synthetic partner, Diane. Soon she discovers that her husband has implanted a monitoring device - the Made for Love chip - in her brain, allowing him to track her, watch her, and access her “emotional data” as she tries to regain her independence. The comedy series, a Max Original currently streaming on HBO Max, follows Hazel Green (Cristin Milioti), a thirty-something woman on the run after 10 years in a suffocating marriage to Byron Gogol (Billy Magnussen), a controlling tech billionaire. Based on the novel by Alissa Nutting, Made For Love is a darkly absurd and cynically poignant story of love and divorce with a sci-fi twist.
