Settle Down

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!

Laugh out loud funny, deeply touching and so relevant. Mason's character arc feels super fresh to me. It's tough to find the balance of a character who needs to become a better version of themself without making them unwatchable, but Settle Down nails it. I found myself craving more and wanting to find out where his journey would take him. I really hope they're able to make another season!

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!

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.

There sure is a lot packed into only 6 episodes! I love how emotion - centered the series was and how it genuinely approached relationship drama. Even if the characters feel exaggerated at times, the challenges they face are real.

I loved the visual side a lot as well - the locations, the outfits, the vibe and thoughtful creation of each character really made every single person stand out in their own way, corresponding with the whole creation. Kudos to the actors for pulling it off and making the characters shine!

The series made me chuckle, sigh, grit my teeth and roll my eyes, which means I felt invested in it! Good job on the writing, the acting and the picture as a whole.
