Apologies to “The Bear,” but HBO’s “Love Life” features the pinnacle of the “sexy dirtbag line cook” trope
— viewers just think Carmy is hot and emotionally damaged, and while these are surely two important components of the SCDLC, they aren’t enough to warrant this descriptor their own merit.
Magnus is introduced as “a young chef who always jumped in with both feet.” When we meet him, he’s working as a sous chef at a restaurant, although he claims to have created the whole tasting menu. He’s tall, bearded, keeps an urban beehive, and has anger problems and tattoos. In one scene, Magnus calls out sick “for his mental health,” and he and Darby visit upstate New York to follow a lead from Forager Reddit that there were truffles in the area. While there, he reveals his dream to buy a farm in the area and operate a true farm-to-table restaurant . He comps lavish spreads at the restaurant for Darby’s friends and family. He makes his own hot sauce. He and Darby have lots of sex. They soon move in together so they can save to buy their/his dream farm.
Of course, when Darby gets serious with Magnus is when things start going to hell — because the SCDLC is not for keeps. Magnus is fired for comping too many meals and becomes obsessed with bringing a wrongful termination lawsuit against the restaurant . He says he is depressed, starts texting a little too often with a waitress at his former job, and sits on the couch all day drinking $14 beers — sorry, “ales” — and “working on his case” instead of finding a new job.
In the climax of their relationship, Magnus disappears for an entire day during which Darby finds out that he is deeply in debt — but still spends $15,000 on a motorcycle . When he finally resurfaces, he tells Darby he had to go upstate to “clear his head” and then proposes with the aforementioned tattoo.. But in just two episodes of, Magnus checks all boxes: He is sexually competent, a dirtbag, and closer in position than Carmy to a line cook .
