I actually enjoyed watching because it is a beautiful, poetic series that doesn’t mock its subjects. This is a real first date: Think about who you are, the stories you tell, what you want to want to get across.

Gurkie, right, is a 36-year-old buyer at Barney’s who isn’t desperate to get married. You know, just like regular people who aren’t on a contrived dating show. Though set in New York City and featuring mostly beautiful people in trendy jobs, those close-to-typical folks are very relatable. They’re on standard dates, searching for common ground, tensely trying buzzy banter, like that experienced by anyone who didn’t marry their high school sweetheart. The hero in each episode wears the same clothes and goes to the same restaurant for each of their dates, so it appears to be one long speed-dating session. Of course, there’s still a cute, bland heterosexual white guy who works in real estate.

As in real life, “Dating Around” shows that a pretty-good date can be forgettable when hundreds of faces await swipes. These days, messages and romantic possibilities are endless. But most of the show’s leads choose someone to see again, and sometimes those choices seem arbitrary. Everything to do with me and not you. Share your feedback to help improve our site experience!
