Settle Down

Really fun. Great vibes and handling of intimacy. A real gem! The cast is charming and it's very well directed. The outfits knock it out of the park. Love the production value and the humour of it all. Settle Down does what many other series fail to do by capturing the push and pull of what it means to be ambitious and still be accountable to others - something highly relatable and difficult to master, especially in your late 20s. I'll definitely stick with this series and hope it carries on, the crew clearly worked really well together to create a project that's very watchable and charming. 10/10 for Settle Down!

Starts off intriguing, but then gains a full head of steam as you move from episode to episode! The acting is excellent, the characters are fun, and I just couldn't wait to find out what would happen the next time! I am just sad that there are not more episodes to binge. I'm also really sad that this is not on HBO Max or Netflix, where it can be appreciated by an even wider audience.

I specifically like the side characters, which add so much to each episode. I think my favorite is "Love Bomb," but that had changed a couple of times while I watched the series. There is just something so refreshing about the interplay of the matchmaker that struggles with his own match (and all of his clients). I really recommend you watch, learn, and LOVE these people like I do! Note I can't wait until the next season!

If you want a fresh, witty take on modern queer relationships, *Settle Down* might be the show for you. Created by Alexander Nuñez, this comedy follows Mason, a matchmaker who's a pro at fixing everyone else's love life but can't seem to figure out why his own relationship is falling apart. The result? A smart, heartfelt, and funny series that's quite relatable, entertaining, and easy to binge.

The show looks good. The cinematography is sleek, the production design is on point, and the whole vibe feels polished without looking fake. The episodes are tightly packed with story, tackling real relationship problems - communication, trust, vulnerability - with a light touch that never feels preachy. Whether it's Mason's clients or his own messy love life, the problems feel genuine, and the solutions (or lack thereof) are just as real.

The writing is sharp, with characters who feel lived-in, even if they're a bit much at times but it's a comedy so I'll allow it. Mason is a standout, equal parts charming and flawed, but it did get on my nerves though. The supporting cast brings plenty of heart and humor to the table. By the end of the season, you'll be invested in their journeys, while being entertained.

Settle Down isn't really a rom-com but it's a thoughtful exploration of love, identity, and the messiness of relationships nowadays. If you're in the mood for something smart, funny, and a little bit messy, this one's for you.

There sure is a lot packed into only 6 episodes! I love how emotion - centered the series was and how it genuinely approached relationship drama. Even if the characters feel exaggerated at times, the challenges they face are real.

I loved the visual side a lot as well - the locations, the outfits, the vibe and thoughtful creation of each character really made every single person stand out in their own way, corresponding with the whole creation. Kudos to the actors for pulling it off and making the characters shine!

The series made me chuckle, sigh, grit my teeth and roll my eyes, which means I felt invested in it! Good job on the writing, the acting and the picture as a whole.

A great show that feels very Canadian very Toronto and like a breath of fresh air- great writing and directing + dreamy cinematography. Discovered so many great actors through this show - definitely worth watching for laughs and some good drama too. Only bad part was when it ended - hoping it continues.
