YMMV / Lovely Little Losers

• Broken Base: The ongoing Peter vs. Ben conflict. (With many viewers moving towards Peter as the series continued).
• Contested Sequel: To Nothing Much To Do. While Lovely Little Losers is praised for tackling more mature subjects and focusing on a LGBT couple as the main romance, it's generally considered weaker than it's predecessor. The main criticisms were the Unfortunate Implications of everyone's reaction to Peter sleeping around and the drama between Bea and Ben as they'd worked through their issues previously (plus the original Much Ado About Nothing very much resolved their arc and they're one of Shakespeare's most popular couples) so fans felt their relationship didn't need extra angst. The fact Ben Took a Level in Jerkass was also criticised as he was one of the most beloved characters in NMTD and him getting more screentime in what was really Peter's story was a problem. That said some of the weaknesses are because Much Ado About Nothing is a much more popular and better written play in the first place, while Love Labour's Lost is more obscure and the writers only used the bare bones of the story.
