The first and second episodes have pretty obnoxious, reality-show type people who are very superficial and self-centered.

However, in the later episodes of the show you do see more "normal" people with truer intentions and more interesting back stories, not just young instagram-type people from LA or Miami. I really did connect with some of the characters in the later episodes and found myself wishing them success.

Aleeza is so wonderful, positive, and humble - a complete opposite of Sima Auntie from Indian matchmaking. The show ends on a very beautiful note with a positive message. I recommend the show!

Aleeza is more than caring and compassionate and insightful; she rightly understands that a lot of ppl who remain single need to adjust their approach to dating or their worldview in some way...IF they want to not only get married, but as she says, make a marriage work. The segment with her and her family is the most authentic bit of the entire series, and gives away her qualifications as a shadchanit. That said the producers do not let us see that, as there is no follow through months later on any of the couples. I was shocked that the repugnantly arrogant dude in LA living with his parents whose only demand was that she be a blonde blue-eyed 10 (while being a Moroccan, Hebrew-speaking Israeli - even his friends pointed out his lack of logic), the never-Kansas-girl and the 51 yo eccentric Chicagoan seemed most likely to have really matched. If these 3 worked out, then Aleeza can find a match for ANYONE. Get her better production for S2 - and we'll be watching.

This is an entertaining series and hope we can a get a second one.

Certainly, the star of the show is the matchmaker.

More or less all the participants appear to have been raised to adhere to a strict religious code in varying degrees of dogma.

It is quite an eye opener to learn how dependent and subservient they all are to their belief system engineered by parents and others who must be obeyed.

A lot of those taking part are self-centered and spoilt and in reality ought to have a high level of intelligence yet seem to have been completely brain washed into following a strict regime of very strange and some would say ludicrous customs that make no sense and are joyless.

But of course, it's said to be a religion, but some might say more a 'cult'.

However: still an interesting show and we need another part to reveal what happened to all those taking part!

7/10.

I have to say that I really enjoyed Jewish Matchmaking the series and hope that we are blessed with another season. I found the whole process as much entertaining as educational. It was fascinating learning about all the different types of Jewish people, and what they wanted for their life and what they expected in a partner. This show definitely covers a wide range of people looking for love. I managed to binge the whole series in one evening and actually felt disappointed that it was ending.

Aleeza is absolutely amazing. I'm not Jewish, but if I was single I'd want her batting for me. Her out look on love was really lovely, and the obvious care she took with her clients was remarkable.

My only gripe about this show is basically what everyone else is saying. They don't follow through. I'm stuck here now, never knowing what happened to any of the singles involved in the show. Will they be back if there is a season 2, will I see some outcomes? I hate being left hanging. I think the last episode should have jumped ahead 6 months and given us an update on each of the singles, I would have been left feeling very satisfied then.

Apart from that, if you love matchmaking shows, then you will love this one and Aleeza.

Aleeza and her husband are really fun but once again Netflix stomps all over the desire of the audience to actually see relationships form and last and instead choose a cast that are so full of self-absorbed immature spoilt brat behaviour that they have no change of creating a healthy relationship.

Same issue as Indian matchmaking, Love is Blinds MAFS and so many tedious others - there is zero change of success and we are watching a turd of meaningless chauvinistic drama portraying partners as self-objects only with totally unrealistic expectations. Bah Humbug. Put the charming hosts to work with genuine couples - pretty please.

Translation: "we" will do what *I* want. Some good lessons here on what not to look for in a partner. When something horrible happens during your marriage do you think it's going to matter whether your partner is cute or has blue eyes? Hopefully you will want, and be, a partner who helps the other one to get through the problem And come through it stronger than you were before. Has another reviewer said this is about the same level as Indian matchmaking, spoiled kids who never learned about compromise, selflessness, etc. They seem to be sincere in wanting to get married, just completely clueless on what that involves.

I have watched four episodes and one thing I've noticed is that almost all of the matchmaker's clients seem extremely self centered and convinced that they deserve the most physically attractive person out there. They all seem to want to marry themselves and a few have even said so. All, despite the fact that they may not be a universal 10 themselves.

One guy in particular, Ori, is extremely self centered and believes that a woman's physical appearance is the most important quality in a woman. He's fairly obnoxious and he needs to learn to ratchet it down and try being more humble. His attractability wanes in that he still lives with his parents and works with his mother. Loving your mother is fine but a little bit is enough. This is a man in his late 20's, it's time to grow up. The host and matchmaker and her husband are the best advertisement for a good marriage, her clients are not.

Interesting show. Vapid but I appreciated the diversity displayed within the Jewish communities. I have always been aware of the degrees of diversity within the Jewish culture but didn't realize the degree of difference in all parts of their lives.

My biggest issue is that we got to superficially meet each person and saw a date or two with them and their matches then, poof they were gone.. it looks like the matchmaker was a flop.

I'd like to see a success or two. I'm sad Fay and Shaya didn't click.

My favorite part was the older couples and their stories. Their advise and encouragement for the younger ones!

Great show for anyone, regardless of religion. Aleeza is a gem! Of course, there are going to be people on the show that you root for and also some who make you cringe a little bit. One cringe moment for me was the girl who bragged about her eyebrows. Men don't care about eyebrows!!

There were moments that brought tears to my eyes and warmed my heart. I loved the interviews with older, married couples - very touching. At some point the show should do an update on all of the people looking for love. How are they doing a year from now??

Shaya and Fay were a cute couple. There's a really quick scene with Fay, and her mother. Her mom is asking her if she's looking forward to her first date with Shaya. I don't know why, but it was just so so sweet and it made me cry. I really hope that Stewart finds his match one of these days. Even though he's a little quirky, he's funny, and brings a lot to the table.

A lot of the people on the show put extreme importance on chemistry and physical attraction. Although this is important, there's so much more to a loving marriage.

I love the idea of a professional matchmaker helping to connect people. My advice to folks looking for love is put out what you want to receive back, and you're not going to meet anyone sitting at home alone on a Friday night.

No, I´m not a Jew. But I have Jewish characters in some of my writing projects. "Jewish Matchmaking" gave me inspiration for those writing projects. And yes, therefore I´m very thankful!

Aleeza is a kind and bubbly person in my opinion. She helps her clients in a nice and respectful way. I would consider hiring her if I was a Jew and lived in the U. S. I would also be happy if a second season of "Jewish Matchmaking" comes.

Is there room for improvement for this reality TV series? If you ask me I´ll say yes. It would be very good if it showed what happened with everyone afterwards. I did my own online research and, quite unfortunately, didn´t find satisfactory answers. But all in all I really liked "Jewish Matchmaking". And yes, I recommend this.
