The Episode Review
Billy Magnussen is one of the most delightful parts of this series as Byron Gogol. He’s like a doleful puppy dog, looking to do whatever it takes to please Hazel. Magnussen plays him with an innocent and even childlike charm that belies his sinister motive. His overbearing and abusive character is a necessary part of his plan to win over Hazel. ..
Byron’s little moments of sweetness toward Hazel shouldn’t be taken as anything more than selfish acts. It’s an abuser who doesn’t comprehend his role as the oppressor that might be the most dangerous of all. Made for Love still holds above us the pressing question: To what lengths will Byron go in order to keep Hazel with him? ..
Byron continues his efforts to win back his wife’s heart, as suspense escalates when Herb finally discovers a speck of the truth about his situation. In contrast to Hazel’s hopeful dream from the last episode, this may not be a scenario the father and daughter can recover their shaky relationship from. ..
