Indian Matchmaking (2020)

Review by media-15602

Indian Matchmaking

6/10

Mixed feelings

I had a lot of mixed feelings, but still managed to enjoy the show. It seems to me that the participants (or maybe the producers) go to extraordinary lengths to prove to the world just how Western India/Indians are, which I found a shame. I could also understand if a lot of viewers found this series a tad bit racist - most of the participants are white-looking, despite the fact that half of the Indian population is dark to very dark-brown in complexion. I also found the lifestyle being showcased decadent at times and hope this is NOT representative for most Indians.

Another surprising take-away for me while watching this series is that a lot of the male participants are 100% without-a-doubt gay. Given Sima's vast experience as a match-maker and her various psychic and face/palm-reading experts, I was extremely surprised that no one figured out that the real reason so many of the male participants are still unmarried after hundreds of dates, is because they're not interested in buying what Sima's selling. The only reason they go on dates with women is to satisfy the expectations of their parents and society. Is this a thing in India? Maybe a promising spin-off for Netflix...
