Settle Down

Really fun. Great vibes and handling of intimacy. A real gem! The cast is charming and it's very well directed. The outfits knock it out of the park. Love the production value and the humour of it all. Settle Down does what many other series fail to do by capturing the push and pull of what it means to be ambitious and still be accountable to others - something highly relatable and difficult to master, especially in your late 20s. I'll definitely stick with this series and hope it carries on, the crew clearly worked really well together to create a project that's very watchable and charming. 10/10 for Settle Down!

This show is listed as a comedy, but at the same time, it shows that despite being an expert in relationships, Mason can't see the rocks his ship is sailing into. Ben, Georgia and Devon are the best supporting characters and each are facing their own personal relationship dilemmas while helping Mason with his.

The casting worked really well as everyone is so fluid and natural in each episode. Cinematography is on point, shooting in various urban locations. There wasn't a moment that didn't seem off at all. And the representation of both the queer and gay community, as well as people of color makes this a well blended romcom.

Starts off intriguing, but then gains a full head of steam as you move from episode to episode! The acting is excellent, the characters are fun, and I just couldn't wait to find out what would happen the next time! I am just sad that there are not more episodes to binge. I'm also really sad that this is not on HBO Max or Netflix, where it can be appreciated by an even wider audience.

I specifically like the side characters, which add so much to each episode. I think my favorite is "Love Bomb," but that had changed a couple of times while I watched the series. There is just something so refreshing about the interplay of the matchmaker that struggles with his own match (and all of his clients). I really recommend you watch, learn, and LOVE these people like I do! Note I can't wait until the next season!

This show is so well crafted! It is fresh, fun, and intentional. The characters are so incredibly well developed and well performed, and the direction ensures that you are planted firmly in the world. What's more, I just had so so much FUN watching this show!! Settle Down is full of authenticity and you can feel the love and care that the team put into it. I am a big fan and cannot wait to watch the rest of the season! Fingers crossed for more seasons as well! I highly suggest this slice of queer joy if you are looking for a laugh and for some wonderful characters to become your new best friends!! :)

There are some wonderful characters in this one and while Mason and Jarod's relationship started off center-stage as the super successful matchmaker for everyone but himself it seems all the other characters are well drawn and made me want to see how all of their friendships and romantic relationships would play out as well. There is a great mix of humor (both light, dark and biting) but the bedrock of drama keeps everything grounded and kept me invested in these characters. I binged the six episodes and very much hope there will be more to come. I'd love to see these characters in a few more years and how they've changed.
