Jewish Matchmaking

Aleeza and her husband are really fun but once again Netflix stomps all over the desire of the audience to actually see relationships form and last and instead choose a cast that are so full of self-absorbed immature spoilt brat behaviour that they have no change of creating a healthy relationship.

Same issue as Indian matchmaking, Love is Blinds MAFS and so many tedious others - there is zero change of success and we are watching a turd of meaningless chauvinistic drama portraying partners as self-objects only with totally unrealistic expectations. Bah Humbug. Put the charming hosts to work with genuine couples - pretty please.

Aleeza is more than caring and compassionate and insightful; she rightly understands that a lot of ppl who remain single need to adjust their approach to dating or their worldview in some way...IF they want to not only get married, but as she says, make a marriage work. The segment with her and her family is the most authentic bit of the entire series, and gives away her qualifications as a shadchanit. That said the producers do not let us see that, as there is no follow through months later on any of the couples. I was shocked that the repugnantly arrogant dude in LA living with his parents whose only demand was that she be a blonde blue-eyed 10 (while being a Moroccan, Hebrew-speaking Israeli - even his friends pointed out his lack of logic), the never-Kansas-girl and the 51 yo eccentric Chicagoan seemed most likely to have really matched. If these 3 worked out, then Aleeza can find a match for ANYONE. Get her better production for S2 - and we'll be watching.

The first and second episodes have pretty obnoxious, reality-show type people who are very superficial and self-centered.

However, in the later episodes of the show you do see more "normal" people with truer intentions and more interesting back stories, not just young instagram-type people from LA or Miami. I really did connect with some of the characters in the later episodes and found myself wishing them success.

Aleeza is so wonderful, positive, and humble - a complete opposite of Sima Auntie from Indian matchmaking. The show ends on a very beautiful note with a positive message. I recommend the show!

Interesting show. Vapid but I appreciated the diversity displayed within the Jewish communities. I have always been aware of the degrees of diversity within the Jewish culture but didn't realize the degree of difference in all parts of their lives.

My biggest issue is that we got to superficially meet each person and saw a date or two with them and their matches then, poof they were gone.. it looks like the matchmaker was a flop.

I'd like to see a success or two. I'm sad Fay and Shaya didn't click.

My favorite part was the older couples and their stories. Their advise and encouragement for the younger ones!

This is an entertaining series and hope we can a get a second one.

Certainly, the star of the show is the matchmaker.

More or less all the participants appear to have been raised to adhere to a strict religious code in varying degrees of dogma.

It is quite an eye opener to learn how dependent and subservient they all are to their belief system engineered by parents and others who must be obeyed.

A lot of those taking part are self-centered and spoilt and in reality ought to have a high level of intelligence yet seem to have been completely brain washed into following a strict regime of very strange and some would say ludicrous customs that make no sense and are joyless.

But of course, it's said to be a religion, but some might say more a 'cult'.

However: still an interesting show and we need another part to reveal what happened to all those taking part!

7/10.
