Dated and Related

What a snooze fest. I was using it as background sound as I was playing video games and wow, it was just boring. Nothing happened. There is no stimulated action from the producers like challenges or something. What small events happen are cheap and also boring. The players were all so obsessed with their own looks it was like they were posing the whole time. I dont feel like anyone actually liked anyone else romantically ... it was just THAT superficial. Nothing particularly funny. The narrator and MC was also just meh. Also surprisingly cheap. Sure, the location itself is probably a pricey rental ... but they obviously didn't spend a drop more since most of the screen time seems to be spent watching these narcissists self groom. Netflix has other reality shows in the same "genre" that were way more interesting than this. This was just tedious.

This dating show was just a bunch of hot people hanging out by a pool and working out. All of the relationships and friendships were casual and as flimsy as a flip flop. And just to seal the deal that this dating show is a sham, there is miraculously - a cash prize! Like what even. A few good drama moments and definitely hot bods, but a very pointless show.

Now this section is dedicated to IMDb. I'm making this a very, very, very, very long review because of the new rule established for review character length, courtesy of the IMDb staff. I'm glad to report that you can absolutely trust that this review is credible and relevant based solely on the fact that it contains at least 600 characters.

Reality show used to cast humans that looked liked humans

go anywhere get 100 random people and see if they look like the people here how can anyone related to that ?!

Its like too hot to handle but not as good with a tenth of the budget

the show is simply bad boring and blantly stupid nothing special nothing new

all they do is copy other much better reality shows they dont bring anything new

casting for reality showes used to be done with interesting people or humans that other people can relate to

it looks like the only direction the casting managers had here was "hot twins"

there is a absudrly rediculrs prize in the end that each one of this actors "lets face it all of them are working as instagram models" gets more of monthly on their instagrams

and just nothing happens

ps* i love the idea to bring couples from france, england, iran, etc but the frensh people dont look anything like frensh the british really dont look british and the Iran girls...lets not even get into that (what was the show runners even thinking ...)

so 1/10 is the lowest i can give it deserves less.

I love me some trash tv. THTH, Love Island, I love all that stuff. This show though? Uncomfortable. The further I got the more incestuous things turned. Comments such as "she's just like my sister: they're both fit, warm, kind, and I think that's what attracted me most" or "my type is my brother's personality in a tall, dark, and handsome body" are made. There are challenges involving convincing other teams that you have to go off and do something borderline inappropriate with your sibling. It's just getting weirder and weirder as the episodes go along. This trash tv is just a little too trash for me.

1 episode in. This show is not your typical cringey dating show. It's awkward to watch on new levels. Pairs of tiktok/IG-influencer-looking siblings (and one pair of intolerable cousins, for some reason) try to either wingman/woman their sibling or expose their sometimes pretty messed up enmeshed sibling relationship on TV. Some of these pairs look like they belong on a specific category on a specific streaming site.

However, some of this people are actually quite watchable and the levels of cringe shift between unbearable to watch to car crush TV, so I'll probably keep watching. Also, the episodes are too long for what this show is, which makes it less enjoyable to binge.
