The HBO Max series, from Paramount Television Studios, centers on Cristin Milioti as Hazel Green, a woman who discovers that her controlling tech billionaire husband, Byron Gogol (Billy Magnussen), has implanted a chip in her brain that tracks her whereabouts and her emotions. Nutting wanted to explore the themes of “technology, love, relationship, surveillance and divorce… on a really fun and entertaining and suspenseful visual scale.” In adapting her sci-fi novel “ Made for Love” for television, author Alissa Nutting worked with showrunner Christina Lee to bring to the screen some fantastical elements, like simulated beaches so convincing that they’re indistinguishable from the real thing.īut the crux of the story is an analog one: an examination of who you are when you’re in a relationship - and who you are when no one else is watching. ![]()
