A dating show that invites her parents, sister, and best friend to the mix allows the courtship to escape from the reality tv, staged, raunchy escapade that we are accustomed to seeing these days.

This is like a dating version of Bridgerton, without the sex and scandal:sweat_smile:- but some PDA for sure.

The regency elements are fun and well integrated. The elimination ceremony involves actual conversations and dancing, which leaves you enraptured instead of bored waiting for a rose. Everyone is referred to by their last names (no “Dan R.” & “Dan M.”, instead it’s Mr. this or Dr. That!

And can I say, I love the pendants / brooches that they wear! The big “miss” is that they don’t incorporate those into more elements when talking / showing the gentleman.
For example they could superimpose it when showing their names to tell viewers who they are! One guy mentions off handedly that they chose these themselves [spoiler]”Gaston”’s wolf[/spoiler]. It was also INCREDIBLY helpful to be able to tell them apart during the first large event! This would have been ripe for Twitter hashtags!!

That being said, the editing is superb. There is obviously an incredible amount of content, because they are following the conversations of the bachelorette, her parents, her sister, and her best friend!

The host is also charming, present, empathetic, funny, and great all around! Somehow he has even done his hosting while sitting at a table with Ms. Remy on the side!!! It feels natural and fun.

The producers have also added some twists that shake things up. [spoiler] I was not expecting the new batch of guys at the end of episode 3!! This felt like The Circle.[/spoiler]
