Muslim Matchmaker

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.

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.

OK, I have found my new guilty pleasure. If you think this is exactly like Indian matchmaker you are wrong. The two matchmakers are so over-the-top charming that you can't help fall in love with. I am a sucker for people looking for love this delivers. I have not watched all of the episodes yet, but I'm hoping that somebody gets married. This is not sophisticated television I don't think it pretends to be, but it is something to make you think about the world around and how they're all pretty much the same hoping ourselves find love right now is exactly what we need. In fact, I love it so much. I might take Shehata this afternoon and see if I can become the next Muslim match made.

To be honest i opened this show to hate watch it, i am really not into islamic show, and when i saw the law rating i said yes, i will hatewatch this show, piss on it a lot. To begin with, it was a very engaing show, i would love to spoil the ending of it which is exactly the oposite i expected, i thought it would be a very propaganda islamic lifestyle, or for the show makers and the two matchmakers, but it wasnt, it was the most genuine thing i have watched since a very long time, and i so much appreciate it. Thank you Yasmin and thank you Huda, you ladies are awesome !!!

Best matchmkaing show.

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.
