Would I watch a 2nd season....?
Yes I would-
Now this show is not without its problems.
Pros/Neg-
1. This reminds me of old old MTV dating shows like " Room Raiders" or " Next "- Its a trash but you keep watching. Now what I mean by trash- its dirty. Not aggressive sexually but verbal and not conversations I would be having with people I just meet. They also sexualize the girls- there's zoom in close, skirts blowing in the wind, and then they make jokes about it that are down right pervy/gross. Gives the show a creepy vib.( I DO feel like that was their job on set tho- bring the interest with their body's based on their real jobs). No one is looking to change or be fixed.
2. Hosts- They bring the jokes. Male- he's packing heat in the form of crude/rude jokes. He's holding nothing back. I'd expect him to do well in a comedy club. She- really brings very little to the table. Sympathetic and light hearted but mostly there to be nice. Out of the 2, she is focusing on if the contestants are being honest or playing a game to win a heart. Her own history, not being all that pleasant was poked fun of as well. So its makes the Males jokes even for everyone. Both of them are trying to guess what the dark secrets are. The nicknames for the contestants when their secret was revealed would be down right cruel/ harsh. But also makes the show more silly. DO NOT WATCH if you do not like joking insults- The host and contestants are always laughing with him and his job is to bring the adult-dark humor only
3.The concept- is interesting. "A deep dark secret that keeps love away". Each one has their own problems from low trauma to high trauma. Each is interesting and you can see why that could be an issue. I like the idea of the "letter" and the dark music. You feel bad for these people, you want them to get help and you wish the show had more to it than this. I wish there was group activates with tools learned. I just don't feel like the "dates" are effective to form any kind of love in 3days... or a few hours really. I wish there was something to lead to deep conversations so you connect with the contestants more. I don't like the issue that comes to play with it being "scripted", I feel bad for that girl. They did her dirty for sure and that guy-he's only trying to make good tv and spice things up.
4. What a random group of people- I would really like to know how they found people and what the selection process was like. I don't feel like there is any factor for why these people would like each other. With a show like "married at first sight" there's a reason it could work but here its like a group of people from work who never interact together being forced to a conference- sure you can find someone to talk to or be friends but the odd of love are super low. Their deep dark secrets wont form a connection. Once you see them interact my first thought was " no one is going to connect" but your still interested. I don't see anyone trying to be famous from being on this, no ones trying to stand out in that way-which is nice. I feel like they are more "normal" even tho I'm guessing this is a job for a few of them.
~In the end~ its not perfect but its like watching a train crash- you can't stop it but you can't look away.
