It was well acted on the part of Blake Lively but the character development and the development of the relationships felt forced or incomplete. It was okay. The plot was different and that made it interesting enough for watching if you’re bored.

I got bored pretty quickly. As others said, the concept was interesting and the costume/make-up art is incredible. However, the show didn't do a good job of developing or highlighting peoples actual personalities or the connections they had with each other. The questions they asked each other were often quite surface level. I got bored of listening to the dates and skipped to the reveals...at that point it became all about their looks and the show only chose classically good-looking people...so then it was like what's the point.

If you only watch 5 minutes or the first episode and stop because you make assumptions about what you think the lessons of this show are, you're definitely missing out on a wonderfully written and thought-provoking show. I've seen some reviews on here where people are quick to judge, thinking that the show depicts struggle as one-sided based on race and background...but in making these stereotypical assumptions, and not giving it a real chance, they are missing out on some excellent writing and thought-provoking content...the show develops really interesting story lines and explores the perspectives and experiences of many different characters, not just the main one and not just from the perspective of one race. It explores dark and difficult to discuss themes while keeping it lighthearted and comedic. Tracy Morgan is great in this!
