The biggest lie of matchmaking programs is the one that produces the illusion that the chance of winning true love on TV is higher than a random wander through dating apps.
There are experts and studs and social support, but in fact matchmaking programs in Israel are a mirror image of those apps, representing all the used clichés of the bachelorette market.
The problem may lie in the banal casting.
Yesterday we received another one like this, when "New Love" returned to us in its second season for Network 13. Once again, the characters presented to us desperately broadcast the world of dating and the pursuit of the unknown.
To overcome the despair, they turned to the prime-time relationship experts to match them with the regular tapecast circulating in the same apps.
And these characters speak in sentences that seem to have been taken from some generic Tinder profile.
"Today I am due to be a father," the adolescent filmmaker declared, and the nominee melted.
"How much furniture can I assemble and replace bulbs?"
Returned to this cliché that is barely two years divorced.
divorcee?
This is a warning light in our clichéd meat market.
"I, I'm told a divorcee - in my head it's someone with such long nails, smoking cigarettes, doing hair dyes, sitting outside and smoking a pipe with her friends all day," the generic douche who drinks protein shakes in the morning told her.
By the way, in the opening episode yesterday also a divorced man plus two also participated, but it was not personal to dwell on him.
And there is one who carries a complex with her age, and another who is not confident enough in her appearance, and so on, and we are only after one episode.
"New Love" sells viewers a clichéd fantasy about a knight on a white horse, who might knock one episode on the door of one of the four desperate bachelorettes of the season, and then carry it on his hands toward a canopy at sunset.
But the chances of finding it on Tinder are much higher.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
