Jewish Matchmaking

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!

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.

Translation: "we" will do what *I* want. Some good lessons here on what not to look for in a partner. When something horrible happens during your marriage do you think it's going to matter whether your partner is cute or has blue eyes? Hopefully you will want, and be, a partner who helps the other one to get through the problem And come through it stronger than you were before. Has another reviewer said this is about the same level as Indian matchmaking, spoiled kids who never learned about compromise, selflessness, etc. They seem to be sincere in wanting to get married, just completely clueless on what that involves.

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.
