Settle Down

A great show that feels very Canadian very Toronto and like a breath of fresh air- great writing and directing + dreamy cinematography. Discovered so many great actors through this show - definitely worth watching for laughs and some good drama too. Only bad part was when it ended - hoping it continues.

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!! :)

I wasn't sure what to expect from Settle Down, but wow-Episode 1 completely pulled me in. The writing is sharp, the characters feel real, and Mason is such a compelling lead. It's refreshing to see a show that balances humor, heart, and authentic representation so effortlessly.also shout out to Georgia. She had me in stitches!

The dialogue is natural and actually funny (which is rare these days), and the story already has me hooked. It's the perfect mix of lighthearted and meaningful without feeling forced. If the rest of the season keeps this energy, Settle Down is definitely going to be a new favorite. Can't wait for the next episode!

This show is so refreshing! It so nice to see a show starring a black gay character that is married to another black gay character. It's beautiful to watch this because IT IS SO RARE TO SEE. The lead is so easy to watch and his presence on screen is important because this would only be a side character on a network show starring a white women and he would only play the assistant with witty retorts and comments, but you never get to live with that character. Here on this show we get to! I hope they get a second season. This is the kind of series we need to support! Did I mention that the entire main cast is all people of color?? (Except one, but that's okay!) What I also love is that they don't make it a point of anyone being of any color which is also very refreshing. It's just a uniquely refreshing story. Please watch!

If you want a fresh, witty take on modern queer relationships, *Settle Down* might be the show for you. Created by Alexander Nuñez, this comedy follows Mason, a matchmaker who's a pro at fixing everyone else's love life but can't seem to figure out why his own relationship is falling apart. The result? A smart, heartfelt, and funny series that's quite relatable, entertaining, and easy to binge.

The show looks good. The cinematography is sleek, the production design is on point, and the whole vibe feels polished without looking fake. The episodes are tightly packed with story, tackling real relationship problems - communication, trust, vulnerability - with a light touch that never feels preachy. Whether it's Mason's clients or his own messy love life, the problems feel genuine, and the solutions (or lack thereof) are just as real.

The writing is sharp, with characters who feel lived-in, even if they're a bit much at times but it's a comedy so I'll allow it. Mason is a standout, equal parts charming and flawed, but it did get on my nerves though. The supporting cast brings plenty of heart and humor to the table. By the end of the season, you'll be invested in their journeys, while being entertained.

Settle Down isn't really a rom-com but it's a thoughtful exploration of love, identity, and the messiness of relationships nowadays. If you're in the mood for something smart, funny, and a little bit messy, this one's for you.
