So you watched Yellowstone. You came for the cowboy hats and the sweeping Montana vistas. You stayed for the family drama. Then, somewhere around the third dramatic murder, you started wondering whether you’d accidentally signed up for a crime documentary with really nice horses.

You are not alone. Plenty of viewers love the ranch, the scenery, and the legacy, yet they could happily skip the body count. So what if you want to keep the wide open fields, the cowboy hats, and the family drama, but drop the murders, the revenge plots, and the occasional war crime?

Clarkson’s Farm: All the Ranching, Almost None of the Homicide

Here’s the curveball. The best Yellowstone alternative might not be a drama at all. Instead, it might be a 65-year-old British man arguing with local government about a gravel driveway.

Clarkson’s Farm follows former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson as he attempts to run Diddly Squat Farm despite a documented allergy to manual labor. Consequently, you get escaped sheep, baffling bureaucracy, robot tractors, and Kaleb Cooper reacting to all of it. Furthermore, you get genuine stakes, because real farms really do live or die on a single harvest.

In other words, it scratches the same itch Yellowstone does. You get people building something, protecting a legacy, and solving impossible problems. You simply lose the part where someone ends up in a ravine. With VidAngel, you can filter the foul language that tends to spike whenever a tractor breaks down, so the funny stays funny.

Shows Like Yellowstone (For People Who Don’t Actually Want Yellowstone)

Most “shows like Yellowstone” lists hand you the obvious suspects: 1883, 1923, Dutton Ranch, Landman, The Madison, and Marshals. The problem? Several of those keep the exact intensity you were trying to escape. As a result, you end up right back where you started, just with a different decade in the title.

Therefore, ask yourself one question. What did you actually like about Yellowstone? If the answer was the violence, carry on, and VidAngel can still help you skip the parts that go too far. However, if the answer was the building, the legacy, the family dynamics, and the thrill of watching people solve impossible problems, then the weirdest replacement on this list is also the best one.

That’s right. It’s still Clarkson’s Farm.

The rating is a guess, not a guarantee. Two shows can carry the same TV-14 label and have almost nothing in common content-wise. However, VidAngel helps you to know what’s actually in something before it plays and allows you to skip what you don’t want to see or hear.

Don’t just take our word; here’s what the data looks like across 14 popular TV-14 shows:

F-Words in TV-14 Shows

Same rating. Very different language.

The Summer I Turned Pretty averages 11 f-words per episode. Meanwhile, To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before has zero. Both are teen romances rated TV-14.

TV-14 Nudity Counts

Some of these will surprise you.

*79 nudity instances in Stranger Things — though to be fair, most are “creature buttocks.” Still, why is there any nudity?

TV-14 Sexual Content Counts

This is where the range gets hardest to ignore.

Friday Night Lights carries 218 instances of sexual content, including sex with brief nudity on screen. To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before however, has just 6. Yet both are rated TV-14.

The Rating Tells You the Category. VidAngel Tells You the Content.

A TV-14 label means the show was reviewed and placed in a bucket. However, it doesn’t tell you whether you’re looking at 0 f-words or 284. Sexual content showing up once or 218 times? The rating won’t tell you that either. And it definitely doesn’t give you any control over what your family actually sees.

That’s what VidAngel is for.

You pick what you don’t want to see or hear—language, nudity, sexual content, and violence—and VidAngel automatically filters out those moments as you watch. The episode keeps playing. You just decide what stays in it.

No pre-screening and no need for hovering of the remote anymore. Just confident, informed, genuinely enjoyable movie nights.

You’ve got great taste. The shows on your watchlist? Genuinely good. You’re not trying to avoid great TV. You just don’t need everything that comes with it. Maybe it’s the language. Perhaps it’s a particular kind of scene. Could be your spouse taps out every time certain content shows up, and you’re tired of watching alone. Maybe your reasons are entirely your own. Either way, you don’t owe anyone an explanation.

The standard workaround—mute, fast-forward, look away, hope for the best—works maybe 10% of the time. The rest of the time, you’re either too late, or you skip the whole thing and miss what you actually wanted to watch.

VidAngel fixes that. You filter exactly what you want before it plays. No remote grabbing. No skipping whole episodes. Just the show, the way you want it.

It’s Not Just for Families with Kids

When most people picture a filtering service, they picture parents trying to protect young children. And sure, that’s one great reason to use VidAngel. But it’s far from the only one.

Here’s what actual VidAngel users say about why they filter:

“I am 37 years old and we use the filters as ADULTS as well because we don’t want to hear all that and see all that sexual stuff and just enjoy the movie. For anyone who wants to hear and see all that stuff doesn’t have to get this but for those who don’t — HIGHLY recommend!!” — Carrie

“So happy we use this service now! It’s opened up a whole bunch of shows that I wouldn’t watch. My husband who isn’t as bothered with the bad language etc can watch TV with his wife again!” — Chrissie

“Having past trauma so filters make it possible for me to watch movies without being triggered.” — Brianna

“I love this app. It makes movies safer and more enjoyable. Especially from a person walking in sobriety from pornography. This is an amazing solution to enjoy movies and TV without all the nonsense.” — Kareem

“I know this sounds ridiculous to most of the world. But even if you don’t have moral objections, this really helps with anxiety. Like I didn’t know watching new shows made me anxious til I binged a season with VidAngel and felt totally different. Five stars.” — Brittany

Not one of those is about parenting. They’re about watching TV the way you actually want to—as an adult, with a partner, while managing anxiety, after trauma, or in recovery. The reasons are different. The need is the same.

It’s About Freedom Of Choice

One of the most common misconceptions about filtering is that it’s a moral statement. That if you use VidAngel, you must think you’re better than people who don’t. That’s not it at all.

One reviewer put it better than we ever could:

“VidAngel is one of the best filtering systems not because it removes content but because its filtering options are probably the more comprehensive and user-friendly I have ever see. And isn’t always about moral or religious standards. Now people who might be triggered by a single scene in a film can remove it fairly painlessly. Religious people don’t have a monopoly on avoiding certain kinds of content. PTSD, OCD, and other disorders, or even just bad life experiences can make an otherwise benign or generally accepted scene in any media become nightmare fuel. And being able to remove those scenes lets this very large group of people access entertainment and learning experiences without having a full-blown mental episode every time they watch something that wouldn’t bother most of us. … In the end, VidAngel’s virtue isn’t in removing all the “bad” content from media, but about freedom of choice … allowing us to watch a show the way we want to without being forced to accept content we may disagree with. You are also still free to consume the original versions of content both with and without VidAngel and hopefully you aren’t judge for it. Please remember that just cause you use filters doesn’t make you a morally superior to another person in any way. It just means you believe and have experienced certain things and are using a service that gives you the freedom to embrace popular culture according to your own belief system.” — David

That’s exactly right. VidAngel doesn’t tell you what to watch or what to filter. It simply gives you the tools to make those choices for yourself. Furthermore, it doesn’t pass judgment either way—on the people who filter, or on the people who don’t.

How VidAngel Works

VidAngel works as a layer on top of your existing streaming subscriptions—Netflix, Prime Video, Peacock, Paramount+, Apple TV, and more. You bring your subscriptions. VidAngel provides the filters. Together, that’s how you get something better.

Before a title plays, you choose what to skip or mute: specific language, sexual content, violence, and more. From that point on, those elements are handled automatically. You don’t have to think about it again. You just watch.

If you’d like to see which filter categories are available, here’s an overview of what VidAngel lets you customize: What Filters options do you provide? 

No Judgment. No Justification. Just Better TV.

Whatever your reason for filtering—values, anxiety, recovery, trauma, personal preference, or just plain taste—it’s a valid one. You don’t need to justify it to anyone. In fact, you don’t even need a reason beyond “I didn’t want to see that.”

VidAngel is for the parent and the adult watching solo. It’s for couples who want to watch the same things. It’s for people who are tired of bracing for the next uncomfortable moment. Really, it’s for anyone who has ever thought, Why is this part even here? 

That’s everyone. That’s the point.

That’s not a character flaw. In fact, it’s a pretty reasonable position to hold.

Someone Made a Choice. You’re Allowed to Disagree.

The writers, producers, and studios behind your favorite shows make choices. Specifically, someone decided that more profanity, more explicit scenes, and more graphic violence make for better storytelling. That may be their creative vision. But it doesn’t have to be your viewing experience.

When a show is rated TV-MA, that rating reflects a set of decisions made by other people. It doesn’t mean those elements are essential to the story. It also doesn’t mean you’re obligated to sit through all of them. For many viewers, the actual plot, the characters, and the emotional arc are the reasons they watch. The gratuitous moments are just… there.

So why is tolerating them the default?

The Workaround Isn’t Working

Most people develop their own system. You check the rating before you start. You look up a parent guide and maybe read a content warning or two. Then you sit down, hope for the best, and spend half the show with your finger hovering near the remote.

But even with all that research, you’re still guessing. Ratings are broad. A TV-14 show can have almost no foul language, or it can have dozens of instances depending on the season. Moreover, none of that research tells you exactly when to look away. It just tells you to be ready.

And then there’s the other workaround: you just push through it. The show is genuinely good. The story is compelling. You’re not about to quit halfway through a season because of one uncomfortable scene. So you watch, you wince, and you move on.

Except it’s never just one scene, is it?

There’s a Better Way to Watch

VidAngel lets you filter exactly what you don’t want—language, violence, sexual content—from the shows you actually want to watch. Instead of researching what might be in a show, you decide what will be in your viewing experience.

This means you don’t have to abandon the good stuff. It also means you don’t have to sit through the parts that aren’t worth it. You can watch the show you came for, without the scenes you didn’t ask for.

VidAngel works as a layer on top of your existing streaming subscriptions: Netflix, Prime Video, Peacock, Paramount+, Apple TV, and more. You’re simply watching shows you already pay for, your way.

If you want to learn more about how filtering works, here’s a quick overview of the filter categories available: What Filters options do you provide? 

This Isn’t About Avoiding Great TV

It’s worth saying clearly: VidAngel users aren’t necessarily looking to watch less. They’re looking to watch more—more comfortably, more freely, and more often with the people they actually want to watch with.

Filtering doesn’t water down a show. It removes the specific elements you’ve chosen to skip, while leaving everything else intact. As a result, you stay engaged with the story rather than bracing for the next uncomfortable moment.

Great taste doesn’t require a high tolerance for things you never wanted to see in the first place.

Ready to Watch on Your Own Terms?

If you’ve been powering through scenes you’d rather skip or not watching something at all to avoid those scenes, there’s no reason to keep doing that. You’re not weird for wanting a better experience. You’re just someone who knows what they actually want to watch—and now you have a way to do it. 

Here’s how to get started with VidAngel:

1. Sign up for VidAngel
2. Set your default filters based on what you typically want to skip

Bridgerton is one of the most-watched shows on Netflix. The drama is addictive, the costumes are incredible, and the slow-burn romance keeps you hooked. But the sexual content? Well … it’s a lot. That part you can skip entirely with VidAngel.

Part 2 of Season 4 just dropped on Netflix. Even better, it’s already filtered and ready to watch on VidAngel! So if you’ve been waiting to jump in, now’s the time.

Why Bridgerton Is Worth Watching (Even With the Filters On)

Bridgerton isn’t just a steamy period drama. In fact, it’s genuinely good television. The show follows the Bridgerton family across multiple seasons, with each season centering on a different sibling’s love story. The writing is sharp. The tension between characters is well-earned. And the setting, Regency-era London reimagined with lush diversity and modern sensibility, is unlike anything else on TV right now.

Each season is built around a slow-burn romance. There’s misunderstanding, longing, witty banter, and a satisfying payoff. What VidAngel allows you to do is skip the explicit content. The story stays exactly as compelling.

The costumes alone are worth the subscription. Seriously.

Need a more in-depth Bridgerton recap? Check out: Bridgerton Recap: Everything You Need To Know Before Season 4 and Bridgerton Season 4, Part 1 Recap

Here’s the Thing About Season 4, Part 1

Season 4, Part 1 (the first four episodes) contained 19 instances of sexual content. In fact, several of those appeared within the first five minutes of Episode 1. Not exactly subtle.

And if history is any guide, Part 2 will be more of the same. Every previous season has saved its most explicit moments for the second half. That’s not a spoiler. That’s just the pattern.

So rather than white-knuckling it through with a remote, VidAngel filters those moments automatically. You set your preferences once. Then you just relax and watch.

The Most Eventful Episode of Each Season (With Timestamps)

To give you a sense of what you’re working with, here’s a breakdown of the sexual content from the single most… eventful episode of each of the previous seasons. These are the episodes where filters earn their keep.

Season 1, Episode 6

 In total, there are 41 instances of sexual content in this single episode. They’re clustered in two main stretches: a long sequence running from roughly the 5-minute mark through the 14-minute mark, and a second wave around the 43-minute mark through the 50-minute mark.

Here are all 41 timestamps:

• 0:05:47
• 0:06:22
• 0:06:41
• 0:06:55
• 0:11:51
• 0:12:11
• 0:12:23
• 0:12:28
• 0:12:32
• 0:12:46
• 0:12:57
• 0:13:01
• 0:13:09
• 0:13:15
• 0:13:23
• 0:13:28
• 0:13:39
• 0:13:51
• 0:13:55
• 0:14:00
• 0:14:04
• 0:14:13
• 0:14:38
• 0:14:51
• 0:14:56
• 0:43:47
• 0:43:50
• 0:44:24
• 0:45:37
• 0:48:05
• 0:48:20
• 0:48:24

• 0:48:55
• 0:49:17
• 0:49:35
• 0:49:37
• 0:50:22

That’s a lot of fast-forwarding or awkwardly waiting behind your hands.

Season 2, Episode 7

Season 2 is generally considered the most romantic of the first three seasons. Even so, Episode 7 is still its most explicit. It contains 15 instances of sexual content, concentrated around two main stretches: one cluster near the 19-minute mark and another around the 50-minute mark.

• 0:19:43
• 0:19:51
• 0:20:08
• 0:22:53
• 0:28:36
• 0:28:49
• 0:30:26
• 0:30:37
• 0:50:16
• 0:50:21
• 0:51:13
• 0:51:41
• 0:52:02
• 0:52:40
• 0:52:49

Season 3, Episode 5

Season 3 goes back to Season 1 territory in terms of intensity. As a result, Episode 5 is the heaviest episode of the season, with 35 instances of sexual content. The bulk of the content falls between the 4-minute and 21-minute marks, with a second cluster around the 27-minute mark.

• 0:04:17
• 0:04:21
• 0:04:23
• 0:04:39
• 0:15:53
• 0:16:34

• 0:20:56
• 0:21:01
• 0:21:27
• 0:27:13
• 0:28:10

Phew. That’s exhausting to scroll through, let alone navigate in real time.

What VidAngel Actually Does

VidAngel doesn’t change the show. Instead, it adds a filtering layer on top of your existing streaming service. It doesn’t affect your Netflix subscription either. You simply watch Bridgerton through VidAngel, and the filters automatically skip or mute the content you’ve selected.

You’re in control of exactly what gets filtered. For example, if you only want to skip the sexual content, you filter only that (or you can choose to leave it in). If you also would like to reduce the language, you can do that too. The drama, the storyline, the costumes (so many costumes), the tension, the romance? All of it stays.

In addition, VidAngel works with Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV, Peacock, Paramount+, and other major streaming platforms. You keep your existing subscriptions. VidAngel works with them.

How to Watch Filtered Bridgerton on VidAngel

1. Sign up for VidAngel at vidangel.com.
2. Connect your Netflix account through the VidAngel mobile app or website.
3. Search for Bridgerton and select the season and episode you want.
4. Set your filters. Choose sexual content, nudity, language, or any combination.
5. Watch. The filters work automatically from that point forward.

That’s it. No remote gymnastics. No fast-forwarding. No hiding behind hands. And no second-guessing whether the next scene is safe to watch when the teenager wanders into the room.

Is Bridgerton Worth Watching with Filters?

Genuinely, yes! Bridgerton has a lot going for it beyond the explicit content. The performances are strong. The costumes and production design are stunning. The storylines are engaging.

The point isn’t to avoid great storytelling. It’s to watch it on your own terms.

The Frustrating Pattern Every Streaming Fan Knows

You know the feeling. Someone recommends a show. The reviews are glowing. The story sounds incredible.

You start watching…and then that scene happens.

Maybe it’s an explicit scene that catches you off guard. Perhaps it’s language that doesn’t match the vibe you were promised. It could be it’s just more than you signed up for.

So you bail. Another “not for me” added to the list.

When Great Stories Come With Problematic Content

Here’s what’s frustrating: too often, great shows come with parts you don’t want.

Bridgerton

Bridgerton has captured millions of viewers with its Regency-era romance, stunning costumes, and intricate family drama. The series delivers sharp wit, compelling characters, and production values that rival feature films.

But the explicit intimate scenes scattered throughout each season create an awkward barrier for many viewers. They want the period drama without the steamier content.

The Night Manager

The Night Manager delivers edge-of-your-seat espionage with Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie. This cat-and-mouse thriller adapted from John le Carré’s novel features stunning international locations and morally complex characters.

But explicit sexual content and graphic violence create barriers for viewers. They want the spy thriller tension without the mature content.

Landman

Landman showcases the high-stakes world of West Texas oil rigs through Taylor Sheridan’s signature storytelling. Billy Bob Thornton’s commanding performance anchors this series. It captures the dangers, economics, and personal dramas of the modern oil industry with authenticity.

But constant profanity and sexual content make it difficult to recommend. This happens despite its compelling exploration of American industry.

Fallout

Fallout brings the beloved video game franchise to life with stunning post-apocalyptic visuals. The series features dark humor that perfectly captures the game’s spirit. It balances action, mystery, and satire while expanding the Fallout universe in exciting ways.

But extreme violence, strong language, and sexual content create obstacles. Viewers want the retro-futuristic adventure without the graphic content.

Outlander

Outlander offers one of television’s most epic love stories. It blends time travel, Scottish history, and sweeping romance across centuries. The chemistry between Claire and Jamie anchors a narrative rich with political intrigue and historical detail.

But graphic sexual content and intense violence appear frequently throughout the series. This forces viewers to choose between missing out on brilliant storytelling or sitting through scenes that cross their comfort level.

Stranger Things

Stranger Things has become a cultural phenomenon with its nostalgic 80s setting, lovable characters, and thrilling supernatural mysteries. The Duffer Brothers created a masterclass in suspense that appeals to multiple generations.

But the series includes strong language, horror elements, and mature themes. These intensify with each season, making family viewing complicated despite its broad appeal.

How VidAngel’s Filters Change Everything

Here’s what changes with filtering: you’re not stuck choosing between great storytelling and your comfort level.

Filter Popular Shows Your Way

VidAngel lets you customize what you watch:

Bridgerton‘s Regency romance and stunning costumes stay intact. Filter the explicit scenes.

The Night Manager becomes a spy thriller with tension you can actually enjoy. Keep all the suspense; skip the graphic content.

Landman showcases Taylor Sheridan’s storytelling. Filter the constant profanity and sexual content.

Fallout brings retro-futuristic adventure. Skip the extreme violence and graphic content.

Outlander keeps its epic love story. Filter the graphic sexual content and intense violence.

Stranger Things becomes family viewing again. Filter the strong language and intense horror elements.

You Decide What “Not for Me” Actually Means

“Not for me” doesn’t have to mean “I have to skip this entire show.” With VidAngel, it can mean “I’ll skip these specific moments.”

You control what stays and what goes. Filter language, skip explicit scenes, or mute specific words. The choice is yours.

Don’t settle for shows that are “almost” right for you.VidAngel lets you watch popular streaming movies and TV shows on your terms. Filter content from Netflix, Prime Video, Paramount+, Apple TV, Peacock, and more.

We’ve all been there.

You’re watching something good (really good!) and then you sense it. That moment when the show is about to go somewhere you’d rather it didn’t.

Your hand shoots to the remote. Decision time.

OPTION 1: The Fast-Forward Gamble

Fast-forward… but how far? Five seconds? Ten? Twenty?

Next, you rewind a bit… nope, went too far back. Try again.

And now? Congratulations! You’ve just seen the scene you were trying to avoid—twice—plus you got a lovely slideshow of awkward thumbnails while you were frantically scrambling with the remote.

Cool. Great system.

In reality, the fast-forward method works about as well as fixing a leak with duct tape and optimism. Sure, technically it’s a solution. But should you?

Plus, let’s be honest. There’s always that one person in the room who says, “Wait, what happened? Go back.” Now you’re explaining a scene you specifically didn’t want anyone to see.

OPTION 2: The Homework Method

Or maybe you’re the proactive type. Perhaps you’re a planner.

Before you even pressed play, you found a timestamp guide online. Some generous soul, who missed their calling as a forensic accountant, painstakingly documented every questionable scene: skip at 4:32, 18:47, 22:13, 31:08, 27:54 (wait, how did we go backward?), 34:12…

Now you’ve got your phone out with the blog pulled up. Fingers ready on the remote. Meanwhile, your eyes dart between the screen and the clock like you’re defusing a bomb.

Congrats! You’re now the Human Skip Button of your household, watching the timer more than the actual show.

However, one bathroom break or one moment where you actually get invested in the story, and oops! You’ve missed your skip window. Better luck next time.

And honestly? Who wants to turn movie night into a part-time job? That’s our job. Instead, your job is enjoying the show.

YOUR BEST OPTION: Filter Content Automatically with VidAngel

Here’s the thing: you’re not trying to avoid great entertainment. Similarly, you’re not trying to overcorrect and skip half the movie.

Instead, you just want to watch good content without the stuff that doesn’t work for you. And you want it to be easy.

That’s where VidAngel comes in.

VidAngel filters streaming content automatically and precisely. First, you choose what kind of content to skip once—profanity, violence, sexual content, whatever matters to you. Then it happens accurately, reliably, and automatically. Every single time.

No remote gymnastics, no thumbnail roulette, no watching the clock.

That’s control without overcorrecting.

As a result, you get to enjoy the story, the acting, and the cinematography (all the reasons you wanted to watch in the first place!) without compromising on what matters to you or your family.

Watch Movies and TV Shows Your Way

VidAngel gives families the power to filter unwanted content from popular streaming services. Whether you want to skip profanity in your favorite thriller or remove violent scenes from a family movie night, VidAngel makes it simple.

Furthermore, you don’t need timestamp guides or to fumble with the remote. Simply set your preferences once and watch with confidence.

We know that if you have not dabbled in the world of Squid Game, peer pressure could not touch you with a ten-foot pole. You’re untouchable. Invincible, like the Greek Warrior, Achilles, but without an achilles. You’re one-of-a-kind, marching to the beat of your own drum, won’t eat the peas on your plate while at dinner with grandma kind of soul. Now, if you’ve watched this TV series in one sitting, you’re dedicated, full of commitment and probably in desperate need of a light show like My Little Pony to cleanse that palette. Sweet Magnolias might be too much for you in a post Squid Game state. 

Regardless of which side of the aisle you find yourself on, here’s what we know:

• It’s Netflix’s biggest release of all time. ALL-TIME.
• After the release, sales of Vans white slip-on shoes went up 7,800%!
• The Duolingo app saw a 40% increase of US users studying Korean compared to last year.
• Social media was flooded with people sharing recipes to make Dalgona Candy, a South Korean favorite featured in the show.
• The series has clocked a whopping 2,205,200,000 hours watched on Netflix. 
• Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk once said it took him 12 years to bring the series to life. It took 12 days to become the most popular Netflix series ever. 
• Season 2 began production July 2023, wrapped up June 2024 and will be released December 26, 2024. 

And this is what the VidAngel Community has had to say on whether or not it lives up to the hype:

• “YESSSSS! It’s such a unique story.”
• “Yeah it’s a great series. Netflix originals have a tendency to be overhyped but it was good.”
• “I enjoyed it, a little messed up but it shows you the true character of people.”
• “Too Grimdark for me.”
• “So easy to get sucked into. So many plot twists that keep you engaged.”

Season 1 was an absolute diabolical phenomenon. We aren’t qualified to tell you whether or not this show is for you. That’s 100% YOUR call. You can choose to watch this show as is. You can choose to keep this show as far from your household as possible. OR you can watch this show YOUR way, choosing to skip or mute categories like nudity, swearing, and gore.

Squid Game is rated TV-MA for 270 counts of Violence/Gore, 269 counts of profane language, 66 counts of nudity.

“It’s a violent show, so why filter out violence from a violent show?”

Some people still enjoy the other parts a show has to offer, like the who-dun-it storyline that’s afoot. And with our customizable filters, you always get to decide what is right for you and your home. If the plot and everything that Squid Game stands for does not align with your morals, it might be best to skip the TV series altogether.

If you want to see what the hype is about before the second season premieres but don’t want to see all of the violence, VidAngel is your solution.

Not-So-Fun-Fact:

Did you know that the average person will see 200,000 acts of violence and 40,000 murders play out on TV shows and movies before the age of 18? Frightening, we know. It was so frightening that we created a filter for it. Find out more here.

oh no guys

why are they looking out the window at a ufo

what is this music

Wait, so conventionally attractive people are worried that their styled appearance is the problem?

this premise makes no sense

but I’ll give it time

none of these people are ugly!!!!

i need to google what happened between host person and jessica simpson

this is unhinged

why would you marry someone from a pool tv producers picked for “good tv”

much easier to just catfish someone and then cyrano them instead of go on this show

i would not want to live in the same weird apartment with a bunch other desperate single guys

what if you have a horrifying voice

where is the show for people with speech impediments

i can never go back into the dating world, this is excruciating

finding a man that wants to eat Chicago beef is all it took for her to make a connection

why would you wear a suit for this

where are the sweats

AI? girl run

you do not want a tech bro

NO HE SAID “CONFOUNDING VARIABLES”

maybe i need to unpack my own feelings about my identity as a tech person

why are all these men out here demanding meals from these women

they should just have a blind taste test buffet and skip the chat

oh he cooks

but they aren’t going to go into it

CAN HE COOK SALMON!?

“i like when a guy…makes me feel small” “that’s good”

i don’t care for that tie knot

but love is blind so i’ll let it pass

ooo we’re in the problematic ones now

lol people jumping right into appearance questions

i’m not sure this show can make me feel lots of empathy for someone whose trial is being attractive

ok i had to step away from this riveting program but have returned

oh so this is nothing about judging people’s souls or whatever it’s about gossiping with the other guys and girlies

this is fascinating

how do we determine what is superficial and what is not

appearance – apparently superficial 

career choice/money – maybe?

i wonder if i would hate it if i went on a date and people were reading from notes about me they had

how long is this show’s filming period? they be talking marriage fast

there’s a ted chiang short story called “liking what you see” that this reminds me of

i liked the story better than this show

girl the betrayal that is going to come in later episodes

you cannot be everybody’s favorite forever

how do they pick who gets a talking head? what about all these normies that aren’t getting screen time? will they show up more later? what does it mean

i love you? WHOA CALM DOWN OMG

YOU ARE TRAPPED IN A WEIRD SPACE STATION WHERE ALL YOU CAN DO IS DATE! SLOW DOWN!!!

You wish you could hold each other!? WHAT IF YOU HAVE WEIRD ARMS

YOU HAVEN’T INVESTIGATED WHETHER YOU HAVE WEIRD ARMS YET! 

ruh roh

love a tactful pr answer

and a guy overreacting to it

love a bunch of single people who have not succeeded in dating advising each other

lol but that’s how it always is i suppose

whoa kids, is he gonna propose

get it together

no stop

please no

stop

omg no 

ITS BEEN FIVE DAYS

AHHHHHH WHYYYYYY

well ok

we’ll see kids

can they leave the spaceship now

are they free

this is giving dystopia

this giving the lobster

oo love them spilling the tea

dish girl

‘if this place had no other girls i would propose”

how is that romantic? lol

well i wish these two nothing but the best

that’s a wrap. rip whoever reads this
