Muslim Matchmaker

Love this show. Are there any more episodes? I watched everything available. I really need a season two. Funny, relatable and a total vibe! The bad dates, the confusion, the long distance bs. This matchmaking isn't too far off from online dating, except these daters have a go to person for when something goes wrong or the matches aren't clicking. I wonder how different things can be with a professional in my corner. A lot of what these individuals are going through is totally common in our modern day dating and I definitely experienced more than my fair share of Mr. Wrong(s) before getting married. I binged the season in 3 days. Eep!

Not a reality tv fan at all but this show sucked me in irresistibly. Not young, not Muslim, and it was interesting for me to watch modern young people wrestle with their faith and what they want in a partner. Accept the premise that marriage is a serious committment deserving of the same energy and effort you would put into a big project at work or a passionate hobby. If more people listened to the matchmakers on how to really get to know someone and things that matter, there would be more happy relationships. I did wonder at some of the matches and why there was so much travel involved.

Sometimes profound, sometimes absurd, and I hope to see more episodes.

I loved Indian matchmaker and tolerated Jewish matchmaker.

This show started strong. I loved the first episode, there was potential there. But it started going downhill from there. Contrary to actual matchmaker, these girls don't know what they're doing. It's either that or its for show. I stopped watching at episode 4 when one of the matchmakers completely disregarded what this poor girl wanted and strong armed her into a second date when she was clearly uncomfortable with the first date because they were incompatible. Maybe these matchmakers are too young and don't know much about life. I would not recommend this unless you're into trashy TV. 3 dates 3 months 300 questions (taken from vogue or a magazineor something, not psychologically based) is supposed to be catchy but it doesn't work. Half of the couples have no chemistry which is important in a relationship especially one that's supposed to last a lifetime. The other half is no longer interested but can't get out. The matchmakers disregard peoples criterias and when they complain they're like, oh you didn't tell me that. Well one of the clients did tell them that he prefers fit girls with short hair and they matched him with an overweight girl with super long hair. I actually like Hoda. The other matchmaker though, can't really stand her.

Refreshing take on the realities of balancing culture, values, and for some a very deeply ingrained commitment (for many to parents & community) whilst discovering yourself. Excellent casting, a nice tapestry of the American Muslim diaspora. Heartwarming and some real drama!! Real people makes the viewing experience more relatable.

Observing the 3 month process unfold was fascinating, a reminder that time and space for reflection reveals all. I'd love to get my hands on those questions. I could see a whole workshop emerging from this journey. When is season 2?!? Authentic and quite juicy programming.

And this show deserves it.

Super fun and easy to binge on accident. And I learned about a different culture; a true delight.

The characters are unique and wholesome. And when they're not, the matchmakers let them know..politely.

The different cities are beautiful to see and I love how it bounces around between them.

The drama scale for the couples is low but the content value is high.

It was a colorful, and eclectic cinematic experience visually.

I loved seeing everyones like and dislikes before their match and hope they do a second season and show how it panned out for all the different couples.
