The Later Daters

I was not interested at all in watching yet another dating show but my younger brother watches it with his wife and convinced me to give it a try. I enjoyed the 3 episodes I caught so far. It's delightful and easy to watch.

I'm finding it aspirational. Most of the singles appear to live vibrant lives full of love already. Their self-esteem is intact and most are content, enjoying their lives right now. Open

Having a strong sense of self-worth and remaining open to attracting intimate love again is a wonderful thing.

Great job Michelle Obama and team!. I love that the haters face crack every time the Obamas rise.

Someone wrote in their review that they want to see people struggling. Like what?!?

If seeing people live well upsets you, consider some counseling. I enjoy seeing people happy, spending time with their loved ones and winning.

And I don't want to spend my time watching anything "average" especially "average Americans".

The golden bachelor and bachelorette have given us a new genre of television, senior dating. But unlike the others, this one is only eight episodes which I like because you can finish in a relatively short time. It's interesting to see how people who have lived their lives, faced some challenges, or made mistakes rebound and regather themselves for another shot at love. My only complaint about the show is one of the characters. There is one character who I feel wasted our time and shouldn't have been on the show because this person's significant other was right there the whole time.. smh.. But this is good clean fun and something you can watch as a family as you watch grandma, grandpa, mom, or dad go on a dating show in 2024z.

So much better than the Golden B series. Michelle Obama has a hit on her hands.

The seniors are all a bunch of characters. Some you love and some not so much. But then they get the right match and you look at them in a whole other light. It was fascinating to watch the transformations.

The counselor knows her business.

The 'kids' who are already adults make it interesting, too, because of their vacillating embarrassment and love for their parent.

I thought I would watch just one episode to start but ended up binge watching it all. You probably will, too, so allow enough time. If you have to get up the next day, don't start it that night.

I am an over 55 person, so this was an interesting watch on multiple levels.

I feel like some of the featured people got annoying aftet a few episodes. Maybe it moved a little slow, felt repetitive at times. Also do people actually act/dress like this irl? Maybe Atlanta is just over the top. Some of the outfits were just a bit much- and the personities were ALL so huge. It came off slightly phony and didn't age well after a few episodes.

In the end, It was okay. I was happy for thosenit ended well for. Still, I was left somewhat unsatisfied, but that might be a me problem. It was very cringey to watch at times- I admit I fast-forwarded here and there. Some of these dates gave me second hand embarrassment- haha- and strengthened my resolve to stay single.

All in all, an OK watch!

So I stumbled upon this new Netflix show and decided to give it a watch. I went into this series with no expectations. I took it for face value. I myself am 55 years old. I have been married for 25 years. After watching this show, I am grateful that I am not out there dating. At this stage of life, starting a new relationship just seems like way too much work. Most of these people have either divorced or widowed. They have adult children. Some have teenage children. I just could not see the charm of getting involved with an already made family. That being stated, I think they did a fantastic job of showcasing dating over 55. I look forward to more episodes and I wish everyone on there the best of luck and love.
