OMG!! You had me cracking up at "Good Lord...problem is she sucks!" 🤣 As an Indian-American, I just have to say you hit all of the key points perfectly. Can't believe you packed all that info into less than 10 min. You had the history right, the people's personalities nailed down, & the reasons for folks having issues with the show correct. Super thorough and well-thought out review.
It was definitely an entertaining reality show. There are unbelievable moments (Akshay & his mom come to mind as does the scene where Aparna is sulking about only visiting 40 countries). But, it was good for the issues (such as sexism, colorism, casteism) that many Indians face in this situation to be spoken about openly.
I won’t lie...I screen shot this comment. Made my day. You are VERY kind. I try to do as much homework as I can before making a video. Glad it paid off!
All I gotta say about Nadia is....Morristown is a super short train ride from NYC Tait. You got a shot here!
She’s Hollywood now. I need a NJ Transit card and a time machine 😩
This show is everything. We all have an Aunty Sima and matchmaking problems in our cultures. Waiting for when you bless a show on Netflix with that 5 stars tho...

I loved this show!!! Nadia was my favorite, I stole her phrase "smitten kitten", it is now part of my regular vernacular.
Nadia was great!! Just a refreshing dose of positive energy.
Here in India some woke people are upset about how this show is shown but this is definitely India.Patriarchal ,Colourisn all exist.These people are a bit too much but still it exists and people should not deny it .If anyone doest like it then try to bring some changes.All cultures have good and bad things and I love India but accept what's wrong
It’s a major party of that society. Can’t get mad that it’s getting put on display. It’s important to see other customs.
Perfectly said Subham.. I am lucky enough to born in North East India,, it's exists but not as much.
@@sangidas5942 Ya we must cant go on nationalism.Racism against Nort east people,women's rights etc are all issues we need to work on.Talking about menstruation is still considered taboo in some parts of country
I was fully invested in their future, Nadia and Ankita were my favourites
You got good taste!
OMG best review yet. I laughed so hard on this one. Absolutely loved this show and would have of course sprung for the 4.5 stars. And the only reason I don’t say 5 stars is because of the lack of closure. Akshay with the driiiip! And GCO on the last girl, and GCO on Ankita. She (Ankita) would probably be my friend in real life. Nice one, Tait!
If Akshay didn’t have that drip you wouldn’t be so nice to him! Him and his cousin about to match tho 👀
Ok just one line of defense for Aparna she told Sima that she wanted a guy who was an introvert, intellectual and not much into comedy. However Sima told her that she needed a guy with a sense of humor despite her repeatedly saying she didn't. On the date with Srini he mistreated her this part was not shown on purpose which caused her mother to get angry. Also she clarified that all of her dates went on for more than 55 minutes. And all she felt was that the guy should have shown interest in getting to know her rather than the waiter on their first date. She also mentioned that she also speaks to waiters and even has friendly long conversations with them. Also she said that the show was scripted to show only a few glimpses of the her dates to make her seem like a bad person.
That’s a lot to cut out of a show but if that’s what she says...but the viewer would have to dig all that up. What’s displayed on screen is not flattering for sure.
How can someone hate comedy?!?! You hate laughing?!?! Aparna made me facepalm every 3 secs. Loved your review. I'm Indian from India and had a problem with the way the show just grazed over caste!! It's a huge part of arranged marriage. It was entertaining though. Thanks for your take!
Lol I’ve never heard someone say they hate comedy. And thought the dude was weird for wanting to go to Dubai! A lotta people wanna go to Dubai!
The colorist part is true, skin bleaching is a big problem in India, so much self hate, it’s so sad, most Indians (South Indians specificically) are darkskin and there’s nothing wrong with it, they will do anything for the white man
Colorism stuff is hard to stomach. Wish they didn’t think that way. But old habits die hard.
@@TaitsTake It’s due to British Colonialism in India
Colorism preexist western Colorism, do not make the ugly error of conflating bigotries to make one thing into even more hurtful thing
Good job as usual tackling a subject that is really not easy to tackle unless you’re familiar with the Culture however U nailed it. Your Dad.
Awesome take! Totally loved your video!!! I’m Indian and I loved hearing your POV on this show!
Thanks for the note, Angie! I’m glad to know I did right by you! Really appreciate the watch :)
I love Aparna!! She grows and her backstory explains everything.
Nahhhhhh no way lol. She’s way too mean to these dudes on dates! That guy told her he likes being a lawyer and she laughed at him. Why he can’t like helping people just cuz she don’t like it?
Excellent Review! Aparna...you noticed she was just confused, I wanted to be a lawyer since 7 to I hate being a lawyer, its weird to like that profession....so fitting that Nadia got her match...My other favorite Ankita! They were so disrespectful to her though
Ankita shines bright like a diamond my man. Aparna is the worst. I hateddddd when she shaded that dude for enjoying being a lawyer. Lawyers are supposed to help people, is it that crazy to think someone enjoys that?
nice 1K subs! congrats
Slow and steady!
Loved your commentary! I’m also Guyanese and your explanation was spot on!
What’s up!? Thanks for watching! Good to see a fellow Guyanese in here :)
Another Guyanese here. We are often mistaken for Indians. Indian men hit on me but back off when I open my mouth, speak and being confident. Thank you for highlighting the history. Now subscribed!
Insightful. Great review!
The show was actually pretty good except they did a horrible job not following up on the characters or they would simply ignore characters.
Zero follow up!!! I need closure!
Ill have to give this one a shot. Im not a reality tv fan but I so addicted to The Circle! If you havent seen that yet, do youself a favor and check it out!
What’s up Pac?? I literally gave The Circle only one half episodes worth of watch! It seemed so shallow lol. Maybe I’ll have to go back and give it another try.
I wasn't going to watch this bc i don't really care for reality TV, but now because of your review... ima check it out... Preciate that
Did you watch? Lol don’t let me turn you into a reality tv head!
@@TaitsTake I haven't watched yet. I been busy tryna get ready for my move across the country.. ugh... LoL... But Ima look into it.. And don't worry, my watching will be a rare moment in the reality tv realm... I shall not get hooked! LoL
My mouth was definitely agape when she said "not too dark"! I had to repeat it out loud to myself like "did she just say that??!!"
Palitha Olden Just shows,you don‘t have to be white to be racist.
Colorism is rampant in our society,, it's sad but true.
So... I started watching and then stopped!! I saw you had a review the other day so I paused to watch the review first before I continued. I learned my lesson! But, love and support you and great review! The pressures of marriage for a woman are definitely there-it’s crazy! But anyways, I found love on an app!
Mannnn people gon start putting some respect on these apps! Miss you!
Tait's Take yes!!!! Miss you more!!
Lol Nadia you know what we have is special 😂😂😂😭 I watched this show when I was running out of Netflix interesting shows to watch! Kinda enjoyed it
I notice the couples in India talk shade of a person(color) The us couples did not
Tait's Take, Thank you for your crystal clear views about this show 👏 Of course the perspective of Seema is very skeptical, in fact she has been judged a lot for representing the Indian Marriage Institution which is fair. Inspite of being educated rich and elite people from different regions are still picky about caste race and Patriarchal approach. Choosing life partner on the basis of skin complexion is shameful but for some it is a priority, which is obviously wrong. The psychic character shown is very judgemental and comes with the baseless comments on the horoscope. Well, keep reviewing the content. Good Work & Good Luck 👍
simplistic show
watch Gangs of Wasseypur 1-2
I don’t appreciate Aparna's approach to men (or people), but Pradhyuman is absolutely the worst.
Aparna is the worst!
“Wait. We have to see our husbands? That’s something we have to do?” GO AWAY!
@@TaitsTake 😂😂😂
people have their sexual preferences. we cant label everything as racist or discriminatory if they ask for lighter or darker skin tone. and if i marry with dark person it does not make me progressive. when skin tone generalize the beauty standards and darker skin tone considered as ugly then it is the problem. but as life partner he/she has every right to choose person with dark skin tone or light skin tone. if family demands girl with lighter skin tone or something then it is colorism.
Didnt call it racist. But it’s a slippery slope for sure and one not uncommon.
