Love Gov: From First Date to Mandate
Season 1: From First Date to Mandate
Love Gov portrays the federal government as an overbearing boyfriend—Scott “Gov” Govinsky—who foists his “good intentions” on hapless, idealistic college student, Alexis. Each episode follows Alexis’s relationship with Gov as his intrusions wreak (comic) havoc on her life, professionally, financially, and socially. Alexis’s loyal friend Libby tries to help her see Gov for what he really is—a menace. But will Alexis come to her senses in time?

Love Gov: From First Date to Mandate tells the story of Alexis and Gov—a stand-in for every government bureaucrat who is “just here to help.” Will Alexis see her life left in ruins—a victim of Gov and his bad advice—or will she come to her senses in time and see her beau for the menace that he is?
