    Rather than contend in a cheesy quiz show or an overproduced melodrama, singles chase dopamine as they would in addictive video games. This is what Netflix’s refreshing and distressing new show Dating Around nails--both in what it portrays, and in the viewing experience.

    The breadth [of the casting] is good because it makes the show better. Although the episodes follow the same format of drinks, dinner, and a potential after-dinner drink, cutting between five different dates, the rhythm and tone of each is distinct. The tensions and intimacies are different. ... The show feels spare and casual, and although there are absolutely some moments of tension, it is mostly concerned with having a chill, nice time.

    It may surprise you to hear that this programming is gripping. ... This shamefully tasty hate-watch is also a study in human nature, a fine lowbrow opportunity both to marvel at the masks we put on and to examine how and why they crack.
