Another dysfunctional love story from Jewish entertainment mastermind Judd Apatow? Count us in!

The “Girls” and “Freaks and Geeks” writer and director, has a new TV show coming up: “Love.” Its first trailer just premiered this weekend and it promises to be as fabulously fun and awkward as any Judd Apatow creation.

The show stars Community’s Gillian Jacobs as Mickey, a slacker radio station employee, and Paul Rust as “40 year-old 12 year-old” Gus. It follows the two characters’ misadventures in romance.

In one scene, the two protagonists can be seen throwing out classic DVDs out of a car window yelling about the lie that is love: “”Sweet Home Alabama” – lies, “When Harry Met Sally” – more lies, “Homeland”… Very confusing.”

We concur.

Season one of “Love” is premiering on Netflix on February 19. The show has already been signed for a second season.

Watch the trailer below:
