Borderline incestuous
Jojothezebragirl5 September 2022
I love me some trash tv. THTH, Love Island, I love all that stuff. This show though? Uncomfortable. The further I got the more incestuous things turned. Comments such as "she's just like my sister: they're both fit, warm, kind, and I think that's what attracted me most" or "my type is my brother's personality in a tall, dark, and handsome body" are made. There are challenges involving convincing other teams that you have to go off and do something borderline inappropriate with your sibling. It's just getting weirder and weirder as the episodes go along. This trash tv is just a little too trash for me.

Ultimate cringe
Imashelbob4 September 2022
1 episode in. This show is not your typical cringey dating show. It's awkward to watch on new levels. Pairs of tiktok/IG-influencer-looking siblings (and one pair of intolerable cousins, for some reason) try to either wingman/woman their sibling or expose their sometimes pretty messed up enmeshed sibling relationship on TV. Some of these pairs look like they belong on a specific category on a specific streaming site.

However, some of this people are actually quite watchable and the levels of cringe shift between unbearable to watch to car crush TV, so I'll probably keep watching. Also, the episodes are too long for what this show is, which makes it less enjoyable to binge.

Hot n casual
Calicodreamin12 September 2022
This dating show was just a bunch of hot people hanging out by a pool and working out. All of the relationships and friendships were casual and as flimsy as a flip flop. And just to seal the deal that this dating show is a sham, there is miraculously - a cash prize! Like what even. A few good drama moments and definitely hot bods, but a very pointless show.

Now this section is dedicated to IMDb. I'm making this a very, very, very, very long review because of the new rule established for review character length, courtesy of the IMDb staff. I'm glad to report that you can absolutely trust that this review is credible and relevant based solely on the fact that it contains at least 600 characters.

Boring
surefall3 September 2022
What a snooze fest. I was using it as background sound as I was playing video games and wow, it was just boring. Nothing happened. There is no stimulated action from the producers like challenges or something. What small events happen are cheap and also boring. The players were all so obsessed with their own looks it was like they were posing the whole time. I dont feel like anyone actually liked anyone else romantically ... it was just THAT superficial. Nothing particularly funny. The narrator and MC was also just meh. Also surprisingly cheap. Sure, the location itself is probably a pricey rental ... but they obviously didn't spend a drop more since most of the screen time seems to be spent watching these narcissists self groom. Netflix has other reality shows in the same "genre" that were way more interesting than this. This was just tedious.

Reality show used to be real ...
shay-679033 September 2022
Reality show used to cast humans that looked liked humans

go anywhere get 100 random people and see if they look like the people here how can anyone related to that ?!

Its like too hot to handle but not as good with a tenth of the budget

the show is simply bad boring and blantly stupid nothing special nothing new

all they do is copy other much better reality shows they dont bring anything new

casting for reality showes used to be done with interesting people or humans that other people can relate to

it looks like the only direction the casting managers had here was "hot twins"

there is a absudrly rediculrs prize in the end that each one of this actors "lets face it all of them are working as instagram models" gets more of monthly on their instagrams

and just nothing happens

ps* i love the idea to bring couples from france, england, iran, etc but the frensh people dont look anything like frensh the british really dont look british and the Iran girls...lets not even get into that (what was the show runners even thinking ...)

so 1/10 is the lowest i can give it deserves less.

(Un)Real and boring cringefest
ymousnona12329 September 2022
I watch a lot of Reality TV. Love Island (all countries), Too Hot To Handle, The Bachelor(ette) Franchise, Ex on the Beach, 90 Day Fiancé, The Circle, etc. I even watched a few random Reality Tv shows on Amazon Prime. This is probably the worst one out there.

The cast is horrible. There is no chemistry, and no one to root for. It also tends to focus on two girls that all the men seem to gravitate towards. Didn't they try to see what the contestants like to ensure that there is some fair play on the show?

It almost felt like the contestants had signed up to be imprisoned in the villa. It's a beautiful location, but you barely even see it. They never leave! Dates are lame and pretty rare. No fun activities or any space to spice things up or to even create any drama. So, there's no entertainment value.

The contestants, except for one girl, are quite boring and have very shallow/ superficial connections. If they are not boring, I didn't have a chance to see any personality because the show is heavily edited.

The finale was boring too. The host is really cringe, and has no charm. Every time she calls, the contestants act all surprised as if anybody else ever uses that phone.

I noticed some posts saying that the show is borderline incestuous. I didn't necessarily think that, but there was one particular "challenge" regarding a bath that may have crossed a line for many people. I didn't really think the siblings were acting odd, though. They seem very close, and nothing wrong with that.

Literally, pick anything else to watch. I still question my sanity, considering I finished the show.

tenth of too hot to handle
lefi011 September 2022
Obviously, this is a copy of THTH. But it's a cheap copy. THTH was so much "deeper" than this. Melinda, one of the most attention seeking people in THTH, is just annoying and it looks like she is constantly self-advertising for future jobs. And even hearing her talk about "true love" and rating other's relationships... just stop it. Everything, showing a real connection and relationship, not being exciting and with drama, is simply not put to display.

The only reason, why I'd give 2 stars, is that the prize was awarded for what came closest to an actual deep and genuine connection. (I even feel like I shouldn't use that word because of how it was literally destroyed during the series...)

The Diana and Nina show
melodyso25 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
It's rather annoying that all the guys picked Diana and Nina right off the bat. It's so much about the appearance. And the show is 99% people saying flirtatious stuff without much to get me hooked.

I'm very not convinced that the couples in the show will last. It also seem quite random how they picked the winner. The lack of clear path to win the prize made the show very much just about everyone trying to get to anyone to stay on it.

I wasn't really about to make it through all the episodes. It is a great concept and I would love to see more depth and excitment to it (e.g. Siblings bonding, back story and talk around things that don't necessarily have to do with dating)

Give it a try
mavinizhon7 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I really thought it'll be cringy but I like the show so far.

I have zero idea when he people are rating the show so low. I feel every time a dating show have mix couple people like to rate it low especially when it's strong black men.

The show needs to get a fair shot. The people on her seemed real and not so scripted.

The show interesting becuase your siblings or cousin is your greatest alley.

Some people are complaining everyone too hot and don't reflect regular people I disagree. You see people that work out but not as super fit as people making it seem.

Of course it's show based in the summer and everyone we'll see you half naked so I'm not expecting out of shape people.

Slightly below average dating show
AviB408711 September 2022
The concept of the show is interesting: Going on dates when your sibling is present since it introduces an additional awkwardness during dating that isnt usually there.

However that is where the positives end in my opinion.

The host (Melinda) is super robotic, I like here energy but it was painfully obvious that she was reading verbatim off of a script.

The contestants talk a lot about getting to know one anothers personality and having 'deep' discussions, but the show never shows them talking about it or being themselves. Ive seen more discussion on physical appearances than stuff like hobbies, opinions and long term goals.

The emotions on the show were painfully fake as well. After people get eliminated tears start flowing even though they have only known this person for 1 maybe 2 episodes, they also seem shocked that it is the host on the phone even though she is literally the only person who calls them.

One more thing is that the sense of time is unclear. Do they spend a couple hours between episodes? A day? A couple of days? I have no clue.

Overall I feel like the concept makes this show good enough to give a shot if you are really bored, but if you dont like it after the first couple of episodes you will not like it by the end.

Don't waste your time, please
szymonj-956864 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I don't usually regret anything in my life, but I seriously regret watching this show.

This show was boring and insanely cringy. I mean it, I've probably never seen something so bad that tried to be a serious show. The relationships and contestants personalities were more shallow than a puddle in the road after a short rain. It wad quite obvious that contestants didn't participate to find a siginificant other but to get famous on their social media, they didn't commit to anything. The show itself was directed in such an uninteresting way that I believe the director should be forbidden from ma.

The host is ruining it for me
bfydhkn18 December 2022
I thought I could like this show. Maybe. The concept intrigued me. I just feels so awkward with most of the contestants. It's not edited well. The show is a little boring. The games are stupid. But what's w the secret mission bubble bath mission? That's sick and doesn't make sense. Trying to be Love Island or BIP but not hitting the mark. Give out some date cards or something. I don't think you have enough people on the show. It's actually weird. But to be honest the worst of it for me is the Host, Melinda? She is making it hard for me to watch. Why doe she talk like Alana from too hot to handle? Does she understand Alana is a computer and is supposed to sound like that? Melinda sounds fake AF. It's no secret Melinda thinks Very highly of herself. Instead of being humble and down to earth, she's cocky,fake, not genuine. Not authentic. And she's too damn LOUD. She acts like a princess and that's So Annoying, she's a turn off. So, I had to turn it off. Sorry Melinda, I don't even know who you are. But, you need to get over yourself.

Um not hot singles let's say above average
aberkey-6102317 September 2022
So for a tv show with an MTV vibe I was expecting 8's and above which a few of the contestants fall short for that. Most notably the Texas sisters. Their facial features are awkward and to that they are socially awkward as well. The first ten minutes of watching them attempt to flirt is almost painful to watch. Nothing against Texas there are lots of attractive people in Texas which is why I am baffled they went with that pair. I have a prettier face and I am no head turner so that should say a lot. The best by far are the London and UK pairs. The Americans don't hold a candle to them. So pass!

Rename it- The Parsijani Girls
annmus-819935 October 2022
SUCKS! The entire show is about Rachel and Diana. They had way too many guys and not enough girls. Boring as hell and fake ... Fake...FAKE! The show has no substance whatsoever and it's one of those "well I started watching, so I guess I'll finish" even though it sucks. The host also thinks she's gods gift, trying WAY TOO hard. Cheesy, boring, and fake! The guys were scrambling for limited girls and out of the ones that were there, some weren't all that. Not sure who did the picking, but their picker is broken. Hopefully, it won't make another season. It's definitely not worth another season. One and done!

Eh...not totally horrible
quieria5 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Ok, I know I gave it a 3. The guys were attractive and the destination in Cannes was beautiful. The contestants leave a lot to be desired. Nina and Diana are boring and rely on their looks, which by the way they look like wannabe Kardashian/Bella Twins. I enjoyed Kieran's personality. He just likes to be the life of the party and get along with everyone. The Jersey boys got knocked down a peg or two after none of the girls were choosing them. However, these folks were all "in love" and territorial over someone they've known less than a week.

If you need to throw smething on just to pass the time, there are worse choices.

Really good show despite the name
hgqbngmp11 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I absolutely love this show. They all have really good energy and made the most of the show. I think it's adorable how well some of the siblings get along. And how seriously they take their family values. It may seem weird that their siblings are there but who better to give them honest advice and comfort? They push each other to bring it and put their all out there. There's lots of drama if that's something you're into and definitely will keep you wanting to watch more. Ouuuu Melinda the host loved her. She was bringing all the drama and tempting them to get it together. I hope to see another season.

Boring and predictable.
zoeyallena24 September 2022
I am the worlds biggest reality fan, however was so disappointed in this show. It is beyond boring and there are no twists or real drama. You know from the first episode that these "relationships" won't work outside of this show because everyone is from a different country! No one on this show has a real personality. They are all "micro" influencers, so if you look them up they maybe have 50k followers? You think it would be awkward having your sibling watch you flirt and kiss right? Shockingly, not really. No one really cared that their sibling was kissing anyone. Do yourself a favor and SKIP THIS!

The Diana and Nina show
Curious_wheelchair3 March 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Lame. You could tell the producers just kept pushing all the guys to want to be with the two twins. They keep adding dudes. Everytime they did I groaned. They took out the beautiful twins from the start cus they wanted all the attention to stir up with Diana and Nina. Lame. So lame to just watch boys and boys continually be added only for them to try to get with Diana and Nina cus they are the hot twins with no personality. If you were gonna add that many men you might have just added a few gay men in there as well or bisexual. Cus there was no action going on with all those men in the house and a small amount of girls. Lame. Gonna go back to love is blind.

Perfect for background noise when you're doing literally anything else
rj_maxwell4 November 2022
Well, well, well - if it isn't another show with arrogant, narcissistic contestants (with exception of Joey and Ceylan) that are self obsessed and genuinely only interested in getting internet famous with the façade of creating genuine human connections. There's more chance of that happening on Jupiter than there is in this show. But let's say it does happen and a couple does want to get together, they're all from different countries so there's no chance of it actually continuing outside the show.

The show is set in a mountain side villa overlooking Cannes in the south of France. That sounds amazing right? It's just interior shots with the occasional drone footage zoom out at all the same angles. They don't leave the villa at all. Massively missed opportunity there to make this show more interesting.

To summarise the show, it's basically just Big Brother but less exciting and not at all entertaining. I do, however, highly recommend this show if you need some background noise while you cook dinner. That's why it gets 2 stars.

Very flat
BlockedReviewer12 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I've always enjoyed watching reality/dating shows, Too Hot Too Handle, Love Island USA, Love Island Australia ... you name it, I've probably watched it. Which is why, when I saw this new show on Netflix, I decided to try it out.

My final rating? A 1/10.

Dated and Related is very boring and flat, there's barely any excitement with each episode. I thought there would be at least something, but there just wasn't anything. Usually with dating shows, like in THTH or Love Island, when there are events or challenges they are there to spice things up but in Dated and Related there was barely any. The challenges were boring and short, did not spice anything up or create any real excitement from the part of the viewer. Guessing baby pictures? Weird sibling pranks? Okay ...

Challenge prizes were also boring ... each challenge prize was the same; a date with a partner chosen by either yourself or your sibling. Yawn ...

Also did not like how all the choices in the dating show was decided internally, there seemed to be no involvement of the viewer. The winner was also chosen by the siblings themselves.

Very meh.

Fun and Fresh!
caribeanskies7 September 2022
They got all these contestants from Too Hot To Handle in here with my girl-crush, Melinda, hosting! As someone who is also very close with my family, I am adoring this added dynamic!! Siblings know exactly when you start running after the wrong person, so it's nice to see a bit of the direction that is usually just shouting in the comment section by the audience, lol.

Also, as close as these siblings are, some of them have their own issues with jealousy, and being overprotective, which adds a complicated layer to the mix.

Siblings getting hurt and ending up in conflict with other siblings, there's lots of room for dramatic dynamics here in France.

Better than expected
cdb88664 November 2022
We all have our own reason for watching.

I like watching all of them side by side putting make up on, doing their hair, brushing their teeth! Sleeping in the same room. It's so foreign to me. The rest is as expected. I do like that sibling teams are from various countries, better than just US.

I have no expectations other than I feel at peace watching this and I get a few laughs. Otherwise I watch a lot of NBA and this offsets the intensity of sports. Enjoy!

Maybe they should do a show like this with older siblings as many 50 year olds living same drama of dating again for second chance. It probably even funnier than this show if you get the right siblings. I mean no "housewives" of L. A., like real people instead if any are left!!!

Honestly, I loved it.
anjalelic5 February 2023
I think it is honestly really, incredibly good. Yes some of the people aren't actually that hot but the twists and turns of the plot distracts from that and makes it a thoroughly enjoyable watch. I do not understand at all why so many people hate this show, I actually love it. Hate me if you want but I COMPLETELY disagree with every single review on here. Most of the cast are relatable and hilarious, yes they might not be to everyone's taste but too bad! The host (Melinda) is charming, charismatic and cute, making the whole show come together. I have to admit, Jason and Chris are really not hot and are a bit annoying. Thank you!

The worst Dating Show I have ever seen
jcraner-8771614 November 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Dating shows, Shows about dating. And where there is dating , there's drama And as someone who lives off of drama this was a show that I went with cautiously. Now Netflix has a questionable reputation lately for their obsession with dating shows. And there have been some pretty bad ones . Too hot to handle , love is blind, sexy beasts( yes someone put that title for a show) But at the very least I can say that they were laughably bad in how they were. People this show has nothing it's not even worth watching it's the definition of awful and might just be the worst dating show I've ever seen!..
