Fantastic to see genuinely diverse cast is terms of sexu@lity, race, gender, language, nationality, dating culture - age not so much - wish the '29' year old had used her IRL age rather than 'online dating' age.
A show where what bits people have isn't 'a thing' or a driving part of the drama but just is. Without preaching or over-simplifying it provides a glimpse of bi peoples' experiences of bierasure and biphobia from hetero and homo folk alike -one of the suitors who is openly bi and has a trans ex is overlooked for a macho conman whilst some lesbian suitors play into some 'gold star' narrative nonsense. Even though we are over 50% of the LGBTQI+ community we are largely absent in the media (unless promiscuous/poly, psycho, confused, convertable, a plot point) so thanks for allowing us be and date normally.
Its also nice seeing Americans who are somewhat wordly- who've lived overseas, speak (a bit of) the language, are open to diverse people and don't see Paris (and the rest of the planet) as a pastiche you can 'do' in a weekend.
Really enjoyable modern dating show and I actually was rooting for and shipping some -which I rarely do on these shows.
The only negative distraction is a cast member's yankie anachronistic lip plumping - she discussing 'why' but its horrid to see anyone, let alone someone so young, butcher their face and make themselves come across as weak and superficial and less attractive as a result. There is so much more to you than whatcha look like (these doctors or other 'professionals' involved in destroying peoples bodies and confidence should be struck off)
Shame this site is rejecting any reviews of this cutting-edge show- another example of bierasure?
