Everything In Conversation : The Age Of Attraction

Everything In Conversation : The Age Of Attraction

Hello EICreatures, we're back, and so are TV producers! Did we ask for another dating show? No! Did we get one? YES!


Netflix says ‘Age of Attraction is throwing out the rulebook — and birthdates — singles build connections based purely on chemistry, compatibility, and an undeniable spark that has nothing to do with the year they graduated from high school. In this dating experiment, there’s only one question they can’t ask: 'How old are you?’'


Filmed in Whistler Canada, the 40 singles meet at a retreat and take part in different activities to get to know each other… if they feel a special connection they can go to the 'promise room', exchange rings and commit to each other before they reveal their age to each other…


Ellie Muir for the independent writes it's ‘an Oedipus complex disguised as a dating show’ ‘Age, surprise surprise, turns out to be a bit more than that. Mommy and daddy issues are always the elephant in the room here, but rarely interrogated. The younger women lament the "immature" men in their own generation and seek out someone older with financial stability, while the older men — most of them with children from previous relationships — definitely signed up to this show with the sole intention of securing a 20-something girlfriend.’


Has the pendulum swung back on the stigma around age gap relationships? Or does this show prove that they can indeed be very tricky territory?


We hope you enjoy, as always please do rate, review and follow the show on your podcast player app! O, R, B xx
