    • Not all relationships are created equal — and not all eight episodes of <em>Modern Love</em>, Amazon Prime's new anthology series inspired by the popular <em>New York Times</em> column, were created equally as well. We polled 10 PEOPLE staffers who'd completed their binge of the new series to rank each episode. Click through to see who made use cringe... and who made us swoon.
    • Our staff's least favorite vignette was nearly unanimous. The gag-inducing episode might as well be titled "Daddy Issues": Baby-voiced college student Maddy (Julia Garner), having lost her father at a young age, develops an unsettling attachment to a 55-year-old executive at work named Peter (Shea Whigham). "Basically, he was dad porn," Maddy sighs in a disconcertingly dreamy voicover as she compares his handsome looks to her father's. It's funny at first, but the charm quickly wears. Obviously, Peter interprets her overtures as far from daughterly, even after she asks him to tell her a story while snuggling in bed after a dinner date ... "about when I was little." YIKES! The <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/22/style/modern-love-so-he-looked-like-dad-it-was-just-dinner-right.html" target="_blank">real 2006 <em>Times</em> essay</a> doesn't include this cringeworthy line and actually ends after that strange night, but in the series, Maddy's obsession with Peter — and his half doting, half leering courtship in return — drags on and on. Oh, and there's a rather ham-fisted <em>Little Red Riding Hood</em> reference.
