Small Town Setup

This dating show takes the very idea of dating shows and turns it on its head. In a world full of toxic dating reflected in modern shows about finding love, this series and format decide to strive for a more traditional and heartfelt approach to documenting how people find love. This is a fun, engaging, comfort watch for sure.

Small Town Setup is a great series for people who are nostalgia for the old days: the old days of TV, the old days pre-internet, the old days of Meg Ryan-starrer Hollywood films.

If you're a fan of good old-fashioned romance, books by Sarah Adams or Jenny Colgan, this show is EXACTLY what those books feel like. It's light, easy, and relaxing, and - unlike other dating formats - it feels genuine. I think all of the episodes are set in different towns in Georgia, and you get that slow Southern vibe of good values and family, if that is your thing.

Ashley Williams is a gem. She is simply a great host - effervescent, enthusiastic, energetic. The woman doesn't stop smiling.

This is a great, soft, dating reality show for the Hallmark viewer.

A charming and emotionally engaging unscripted format that feels like a romantic drama series-only this time, the protagonists are real people, and the story unfolds without a script.

The format cleverly blends romance, culture clash, and humor with touching moments of vulnerability and growth. It's not just about finding love; it's about rediscovering simplicity, community, and sometimes even oneself.

Warm, authentic, and filled with heart, the show invites viewers to fall in love-not only with the characters, but also with the beauty of small-town life.
