The Story of a Brain Chip, Divorce and Ray Romano’s Sex Doll
Hazel heaves open a sewer lid in the middle of the desert and hurls herself out of the ground. Soaking wet and gasping for breath, she nurses the bloody wound on the back of her head. The escapee’s visible distress quickly transforms into a gleaming smile of relief. She turns to the glistening white monolith of a building behind her, and gives it one of the most erect middle fingers captured on camera.

In Made for Love, the new HBO Max series that launches Thursday, the answers come fast, like a bullet train of truths and revelations on a direct route to disrupt how you think about humanity, relationships, connection, romance, and technology. That is to say, when you see Hazel, played by Palm Springs star Cristin Milioti, dripping wet and crawling out of a hole in the dry desert sun, the “wtf?!” of it all is wilder than you’d think.
