The Courtship

I love the premise of the show. But I'm not entirely sure she was serious about finding love.

It seemed to me she went for the guys that have nothing in common with her. Which is fine for a "fling" , perhaps she got blinded by there attractiveness. She's going to have a terrible time finding love is this is how she chooses men. There was one suitor who was attractive and safe- and she went the other way- several times. It seems at the end - without any spoilers. She practically forced the guy to make her a proposal. That was really forced, I almost felt bad for him.

6-10 ....could of been a 10 - if she was serious!

I was really interested in this show as the setting and idea seemed so interesting! I thought it would show an American woman, especially a black women seeking out love where ever it may be. And in the first few mins the host who is British states there would be men from all over the globe! I thought ok cool. Then out of 16 guys there is only 3 not from the USA? Just one Canadian, 1 UK guy and one from South Korea! Really! Was done then. And the South Korean guy most likely has lived in the US as there is much US military there, and well Canada is very near Seattle where she is from. So really just 1 guy that is really non USA centric. Real let down. I felt it was almost biased in the fact that it implies that a black American woman is not desirable to non American men. I am a black American woman married to a Swedish guy and living in Sweden, he was watching this with me thinking we would see some diversity but was let down also.

Are dating shows actually any good? Not really, we all know that. But the setting and costumes alone give this a solid and deserved 8. What a unique and fantastic idea! What I wouldn't give to be able to play dress up in a real castle and get properly courted? So fun! If you like this time period and the romance of it, you'll enjoy watching and living vicariously through this series. Would love to see more dating shows set in various eras with costumes!

Ms. Remy and her family are so sweet and classy!! She and her family are very deep. They aren't trivial or shallow. Also, they are dead serious about wanting the best husband for Ms. Remy. She deserves love!! I love how these guys are really trying to win her heart!!

Like "The Bachelorette", this reality show is about bachelors competing for and wooing a beautiful, single female. But there are differences.

"The Courtship" sets the action in the Regency Era, with appropriate customs and manners. Also, the family of the bachelorette accompanies her and is involved in the winnowing of her suitors. Just having them on the premises changes the tone from a hottub-cocktail, club atmosphere to a more sensible undertaking.

I really appreciate that the producers selected men who are serious at getting serious with the lady. And there is a tone of civility between the men. Watching is like viewing a period rom-com involving characters you like.
