Explota el globo en vivo

I decided to give this a try and forced myself to suffer through to the end in hopes it would improve. Spoiler, it did not and I have regrets. If this wasn't live, possibly it would be better with editing, but I am not confident in that. I have never seen the original this is based off of, nor even heard of it. Yes, I may live under a rock...or am just old? Anyway, I cringed many, many times during the first episode. I wish I could articulate specifics but feel it was all bad, beginning to end. That should be description enough to warn you off.

I think this is my first written review and there is apparently a minimum character count. Therefore, I am trying this to meet that. The fact I've never written a review here and am for this should say something in itself.

It was really amazing and sad to see how judgmental and shallow both the men and women were in this first episode. I am not so old that I don't know that physical attraction is important to people, but some of the worst people I've ever known had beautiful faces/bodies, who, once you got to know them, became quite unattractive later on.

The concept is to have a small group of women on stage holding balloons which they'll pop if they don't find a single man, brought out on stage, appealing. Many women popped their balloon as soon as they saw a man that they weren't immediately attracted to. I find that sad, because for real love to last you are going to see your partner at his or her worst at times. Either due to ill health or perhaps an accident and all of us age. If you are really looking for true love deciding on an individual within seconds, with not even giving them a chance, seems frivolous at best. One woman even dismissed a man because she wanted someone who looked like they would kill somebody. Hmmm...any serial killer dating shows out there? Now that might be interesting to watch.

The concept is also very juvenile and not well thought out. Not sure why they decided it needed to be "live" as well. Give this one a pass unless you need something to make you fall asleep.

Low budget production that probably cost millions.

Awful cast selection including host. Set design with no focal point. The plant that was removed after first contestant for obvious reasons. You will find out why. The host asked questions you would write down to ask a first date five minutes before arriving. The first episode already has a racist comment towards another person. The cast self promoted themselves for free. The original concept is from YouTube where normal non celeb type of people are cast. This show had already established individuals.

The host mentioned a tv show The Wire ( maybe say Top Boy?) . I did not subscribe to HBO Max. This is a Netflix show.

1/10 Do not watch.

Yikes that was terrible. The first episode is absolutely atrocious. It offers up a few laughs but overall was a complete waste of an hour. I avoid these things on social media but saw it pop on Netflix and figured it would be entertaining given the platform... wrong. The casting directors clearly didn't ask the necessary questions when syphoning through talent, and they did an utterly poor job casting this show for episode 1. You can't come out the gate this poorly and expect success in reality tv. I don't see a season 2 being possible but the show was shot with such a low budget it may be around for a while. If you watched this and found it entertaining, you need hobbies and maybe a therapist lmao.

I don't know who could have watched the original and thought this was the right way to bring it to a bigger audience. A bunch of thirsty, desperate wannabe losers in LA trying to get exposure. It didn't need any of this. You could have found real people. How did you strangle all the charm out of this concept? It looks like they all came from central casting. Not a single genuine human being involved in this at any stage. If somehow this is being done completely sincerely and straightforward, that's even more terrifying, and every one of these people is dead inside. We can't have nice things. I hope Arlette got paid.
