Dating show for The Newly Divorced
marykaye-2182911 July 2023
I'm enjoying it. It's a different twist to typical dating shows since it features divorced couples. That makes it interesting as you see them in action, often seeing the WHY behind their divorces!! Some still want their Ex & some are ready to move on- with some of the other Exes or new divorced singles that get added.

Wasn't sure how'd I'd feel about Jojo & Jordan hosting but they are fine & likeable enough. In case you're not a fan, their hosting is brief in each episode.

The shows premise is for the divorced couples to let go of the past & move on to healthy relationships, even possibly with their Ex. They bring in an "expert" to help with that but her role is nominal. In a later episode, they do show 1 contestant seeking her help so I think more goes on behind the scenes. Wish I could see some of that!

There is some drama too but not like on The Other Dating Shows. Not sure how many episodes there will be but I feel it's worth a watch!

This show should come with trigger warnings!

Phew! I binge-watched this show, thinking it would be light and perfect to take my mind off things. What a mistake! I understand that bringing divorced couples together in a dating context can cause friction, but there are limits to tolerating absolutely unacceptable behaviour! How could production allow Thakur to continue on this show? In 2023, a violent, abusive, manipulative and controlling (ex)spouse-with a noticeable alcohol problem-should not be given this kind of platform! So many women are subjected to violence on a daily basis... why make it worse by keeping toxic participants on a reality show? And what about the other participants who try to justify and excuse his actions... It's disgusting!

Worth watching

It's good, it's realistic and relatable. I wonder where they are now. I hope Netflix picks this up! It's different than other dating shows and it's pretty refreshing. They should do a reunion! It was a good first season and would be awesome if they did more seasons after this. Seeing that this was a show about divorcees made it a more mature and relatable version of reality TV. And that it was an elimination process too. It shows how intense some of the conversations get and how there is a lot of unfinished business with many of the ex married couples. I'd like for them to show after show interviews post season now.
