Netflix is facing a wave of backlash over its latest dating series, which has been branded 'gross' and 'exploitative' due to the significant age gaps between contestants.
The show, yet to be officially titled, has already drawn criticism from viewers who argue that the large age differences between participants are inappropriate and could normalise unhealthy relationship dynamics.
Viewers React with Disgust
Social media has erupted with outrage, with many calling the concept 'disturbing' and questioning Netflix's decision to greenlight such a series. One user wrote, 'This is not entertainment—it's exploitation.'
Netflix's Track Record with Controversial Content
This isn't the first time Netflix has faced criticism for its dating shows. Previous series like Love Is Blind and Too Hot to Handle have also sparked debates, but the new show's focus on age gaps has struck a particularly raw nerve.
Critics argue that the platform is prioritising shock value over meaningful content, while others worry about the message it sends to younger audiences.
What's Next for the Series?
Despite the backlash, Netflix has yet to comment on whether the show will be altered or postponed. With no release date confirmed, the controversy shows no signs of dying down anytime soon.
