‘Black Mirror’ Meets ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ in HBO’s 2-Part Sci-Fi Series
HBO Max’s *Made for Love* is a two-season science-fiction comedy-drama about Hazel Green, played by Cristin Milioti, who escapes her controlling marriage to tech billionaire Byron Gogol.

She discovers the chip was already implanted without her consent and seeks shelter with her estranged father, Herbert, while pursuing a divorce. The cast also includes Billy Magnussen as Gogol, Ray Romano as Herbert and Noma Dumezweni.
