Christiane Amanpour Sex & Love Around the World

Don't see why people don't like the woman host. She's asking questions and listening to the feedback from the people she's interacting with. This is a very informative show that I would recommend if you want to learn new things about these cultures that you may have had a stereotype about before.

Based on the pilot.

The program itself is a bit of a cliche, these subjects have been covered hundreds of times. Especially Japan is a place where many foreigners investigate and report on the cultural and sexual extremities. That was a poor choice for a starting point.

The conversations are quite prude and lack depth. Maybe CNN limits what is acceptable? Overall the show is okay, and has potential but certainly not peaked my interest.

1 Other small point....

I just don't want to talk about sex with Amanpour. No sir! That's the exact feeling a teenager gets when not his mother but his grandmother wants to talk about sex......... that experience is feels uncomfortable and unnatural, so does Amanpour talking about sex. Wrong person for the job.

I have to agree with most of the comments here. This lady isn't so good in her job. Her questions are always like: So is that about sex? instead of listening to the people, that just try to tell their stories. The guy in Berlin told her: you're a bit obsessed about sex. And she doesn't understand what he tries to tell her.. Sex and Love can be many things, more than as what she seems to define it for herself. Great potential, not so optimal execution.

All the negative comments are commenting on the age of the interviewer, insulting the female interviewer for different shallow reasons, complaining about how the focus is on women, how the only good men here are queer men etc. Dumb reasons to give this show a low rating.

Watch this show for yourself. It's very well done and very interesting.

Yes we know you find it weird that people do this and this, it's the nth time you repeat it. For a show that aims to understand objectively how societies deal with those subjects it ended up insisting a lot on the weirdness of non-US-centric lifestyles. Also, I get the idea of mainly interviewing women, especially in societies were men have more power in women's love life, it lets them talk more freely. But then the show takes its sweet time showing only queer men are good people and it feels like a Twitter feed. I can remember in the episode about Japan when a girl keeps saying she's fine with her couple not really having sex but they insist for several minutes on "that's not normal!!". Weird. As expected, it's a Netflix show with all the Netflix (anti-)values it carries and the main ideas that stick are that all around the world men are responsible for bad sex and that you have to behave like in New York if you're a civilized human being.

For short, expect a cliché romcom about women talking about their last orgasms more that a documentary.
