Dates is a tad precious--a little too smart for its own good.
-
Dates isn't the kind of comedy that's supposed to elicit belly laughs, yet it entrances with its sense of dramatic irony.
-
The six-episode season promises to delve further into these characters’ lives, which may give them the room they need to evolve past their two-dimensional constraints, but it will be an uphill battle after such an uninspired start.
-
It’s as candid and absorbing as reality TV isn’t.
-
There’s little action in Dates. It’s about language, verbal and nonverbal. When the words are this good, that’s enough.
-
It’s not a game-changer or first-rate through and through. But it is an interesting and very nicely acted look at online daters meeting for the first time.
