I will admit though, this kind of editing is jarring to begin with and it can feel phony until you get used to it.īut really, props to the editors of this show. It feels less intrusive than MAFS or The Bachelor/ette - not so much a fly-on-the-wall type of experience but rather a more inviting set-up. It’s like the camera crew for Chef’s Table made a wrong turn and ended up at the Dating Around set and went with it. But in this case it’s the perfect length, and there’s actually so much that fits into half an hour you don’t even feel like the dates are interrupted in anyway.īut really, the cinematography is where it’s at. The episodes are only about 30 minutes, which generally tends to bug me because I’m always looking for more of something. Me at 10pm: why the fuck are there only 6 episodes? Me at 7pm: why the fuck would I want to watch people going on first dates? It gives viewers the opportunity to gauge each date against the other to see who’s working out the best - and really, isn’t that what we’re all interested in? Instead of being introduced to each individual date one by one, you witness all the dates as they happen through each category. The dates are melded together, starting with drinks, dinner and after hours.

But is it better than the bottom of the barrel reality TV we get force fed? Absolutely. Lex, an Asian man finds a commonality and comfort with one of his dates because they’re both ‘Gaysian.’ Gerki, a Punjabi woman, openly discusses her background and upbringing where her parents got together in an arranged marriage, and the social pressures of getting married to follow cultural norms. If only Australian producers recognised this.Īnd these discussions about representation come up within the show! They’re there because gay people *checks notes* date around like straight people do! Wow. It’s in no way gimmicky or with a sense of novelty. This is not like that season of MAFS where they found two gay men who wanted to get married and paired them together just because they were gay and not because they were compatible.
