There are a lot of series to binge in a day or two on the streaming services, but “Love” (Netflix, streaming) is just about the only one I have so far. Season one of the Judd Apatow-co-produced comedy moved just as amiably as one of his movies. It stars co-creator Paul Rust as a geeky Hollywood screenwriting hopeful who runs into a beautiful and deeply troubled Gillian Jacobs and they try to make a relationship work. Can’t wait for season two, which drops today, as they say.
Also back online (with all of its episodes) is the second and final season of “Hand of God” (Amazon Prime, streaming) the drama starring Ron Perlman as a judge who thinks God is talking to him. With Dana Delany, Andre Royo and Garret Dillahunt.
A big death is promised on the series finale of “The Vampire Diaries” (The CW, 9 p.m.), which also sees the return of onetime star Nina Dobrev, who left the show two years ago. The biggest death, of course, is the show itself, which lasted eight seasons – pretty long time for a young person’s vampire show. They give it a proper sendoff with the one-hour special “The Vampire Diaries: Forever Yours” (The CW, 9 p.m.).
