I had a real issue with the host's not recognizing and respecting independent women. There are lots of likable characters, and the overbearing MIL make me fume because I could relate to it, and it is so representative of Indian MILs and mama's boys. Being completely honest, a lot of the people wanting to get married aren't your typical good looking ones, they are pretty average, but sure if that is why they need a matchmaker to help find someone. A modern family would probably not encourage arranged marriages. She is correct in the way families think, and obviously most families choosing to go this route are traditional. First, I like the host, she is no-drama and tells it like it is without mincing words. I relate to this show a lot but it has a lot of issues. I went through an arranged marriage process 20 years ago and would never ever put my kids through it or recommend it. So stop hating and give this show a chance. If you're not able to appreciate it, clearly you're missing the forest for the trees and you're busy being offended because you think you are some kind of flag bearer of Indian culture done right. Agree that some of the show may be scripted, but these are real people and real stories and the reality of how thousands of Indians are approaching marriages even today. But by the end of the season, you'll be admiring her for the job she manages to do with the slick finesse of Winston Wolfe. She's your typical matchmaker auntie and if you're a woke liberal, she'll have you fuming in 5 minutes and you'll label her and the show pregressive. You'll roll your eyes at the hard-to-please Pradyumna and then you'll feel the warm fuzzies when the gorgeous Rushali tames him with just one smile. But over the season, you'll start to warm up to her and actually root for her to find love. You will not like the stubborn Aparna at first. And then you'll love the gentle giant Vyasar. And then you'll love the humble lawyer Sekhar. Can't wait for season 2 to release this week. Well done Netflix you got yourself a hit. Some of the commentary and actions are just incredible. I laughed a lot throughout the episodes and so did everyone else do who say this. All whilst delivering a series that can be enjoyed by young and all. Instead they make their characters shine where they can whilst at the same time shining a light on potential social issues in the India diaspora around the globe (definitely not only in India). The editor(s) made sure to captures funny looks and reactions, without turning it into a tasteless ¨Real Housewives¨ direction. The narration is quick and and everything is very well put together. The editing, camera work, and sound quality are beyond good. It is people taking the route of a matchmaking in today's age. This program makes light and shows the journey of people going over the route of arranged marriages and that comes with sides that people like and dislike. However all Indians will be familiar with the concept of those judge family members or neighbours that are telling younger ones to marry. So the criticism is interesting and indicates that some people are ready for a change. According to the BBC: 93% of married Indians said that theirs was an arranged marriage. This series has gotten so much slack for portraying arranged marriages in India in the upscale segment.
