Amazon's “With Love” is a holiday-themed TV series that takes a different approach
LOS ANGELES -- After slogging through a universally difficult 2020 and with Christmas approaching, Gloria Calderón Kellett sought out a trusted form of escape.
“I was watching ‘When Harry Met Sally,’ which I do every year, and ‘Love Actually,’ all of those wonderful rom-coms, and I was reminded that it is indeed a white Christmas on our screens,” said the writer-producer ("One Day at a Time," “Jane the Virgin”).
America was also facing “a barrage of darkness,” she said, including violence and intolerance toward people of color and the LGBTQ community.
“I can provide a panacea,” Calderón Kellett recalled thinking. “I can provide a healing salve and give people... something where they are the center of a story, and they’re experiencing love and joy and all the warm good feelings.”
