I wasn't expecting quality tv, but was still taken aback when I realised one of the people on this show, traveling across the globe alone to meet the online "love of their lives", is a 17 year old, who met a woman 11 years his senior when he was 15.

How this ever made it past not one, but probably several brainstorming-new-shows and then production meetings, to actual air, is infuriating, especially since "duty of care" is a joke to these people..

I feel dirty having watched that.

I haven't seen it and now I can't decide whether I really do want to watch it or I really don't. ๐Ÿค”

I gained nothing from watching the first episode, and won't be watching the rest..

But I'm also not really a fan of dating/"love" shows in general, so I'm not the target audience, but then I think this underage/age gap thing is too much even for the trashiest/most exploitative of shows, so.. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ
