Can’t believe no one has suggested the ultimate combination: a children’s show about dinosaurs, directed by Mark, illustrated by Kelvin and voiced by Michael.
I would happily take 12 seasons of this show over any other dating show. The realness and honesty - and I'm just so proud of everyone on this show just trying their best to be themselves and put themselves out there.
Right? If "normal" people were half as earnest and honest, dating shows would be so good. Everyone on normal dating shows are so fake--this was such a human, relatable show. Everyone can identify with the feelings, these stars just have to work harder at communicating those feelings that the rest of us don't give enough attention to.
Agree!! I can’t even watch the dating shows for so-called ‘normal people’ but the people in this show are just fantastic 🤩 Michael is 100% right, being on the spectrum is not a disability, but a gift. I have found that I like people on the spectrum much more than people who are not on the spectrum, to be honest. They are so much more kind, authentic and the opposite of selfish, and they can teach the world something very valuable that no one else can. I hope they all find their one true love🌻 💚
Agree with you so much, he is probably the purist ,kindest soul in the world I would really want to see him find someone that could appreciate him and care for him as much as he wants to do for them 🙏🏻 He literally has the most loving heart😇 I wish I could be half the man he is so pure 🙏🏻
Mark is a true gem of a man. His passion and relentlessly optimistic outlook on life and love is sincerely inspiring. I desperately hope that he finds a woman who deserves all that he has to offer (and she better love dinosaurs! ) 🦕🦖
Hey Breonna I share the same sentiments as you, his purity and sincerity was able to touch our hearts , I also hope he finds someone who can appreciate him and care for him He truly is a inspiration to us all of what our attitude toward life should be despite the challenges he has faced :)
@@HonestTraveller Michael has long fought for inclusion and acceptance. He isn't invisible and he can do anything. I hope you can help by opening your mind to the possibilities by giving people who aren't fitting into a box, a go.
@@HonestTraveller well if you ever do I would recommend making time to get to know them. They are refreshing to be around and make me feel so average in comparison. I am constantly smiling at Michael because he lights me up.
I agree. Totally crushing on him. He makes my heart smile with his astounding positivity. Makes him even more handsome. His future love will be the luckiest person in the world
They are all stars, the brother is well cool, Mum and Dad are great and Michael expresses himself better than most people I have ever met and with complete sincerity
I don't agree with her when Andrew got the text from the woman who said she didn't want to meet him soon because she was going through personal stuff and she told him that she really just didn't like him and think he was "boyfriend material". How tf is she supposed to know that. Seemed mean.
@@MULLETMAN235 I thought that advice was absolutely on point. It's not mean, it just means that person didn't find him boyfriend material for themselves. A lot of people use that excuse to soften the blow, instead of being 100% honest, and I think that gives people false hope and keeps them hanging around longer than they should bother. I think she's great to give them that advice straight up, I wish someone had laid it out like that to me in my 20's.
He is a very sweet guy and, as in all of the subjects, the honesty leaps out at you. He’s very kind and caring and I really hope he finds someone to love who loves him.
He's genuinely really good. I feel bad for him as he is so talented in that area but doesn't have any employability skills whatsoever. I doubt he would be a very competent illustrator, deadlines, briefs, meetings, training, etc. But he is an amazing artist.
I'm the spectrum myself - I found this show a very realistic, very humane piece of storytelling. It respectively showed young adults at different levels on the spectrum with the producers clearly acting in a supportive role.
I had mixed feelings about it as someone on the spectrum. It was a refreshing change in some ways like the use of infinity symbol instead of the puzzle piece as well as clearing up a lot of myths the audience might’ve believed to be true. However, it was a bit cringe when the narrator and non-autistics didn’t use identity first language even though the autistic people on the show did. I also wish that they showed at least a few NT- ND dates not solely autistics dating other autistics. Most of the people I’ve dated were not autistic. To me, both relationship dynamics are valid and can work. They should get autistic people in production and possibly editing. Otherwise the series is a step in the right direction with really great stars and a pretty straightforward and genuine take on their dating lives. I hope that if they make another season, it’ll take criticisms into account to make the show even better.
@@bunnybaker2289 I agree! My biggest criticism of this show was that it put people with ASD in a sort of "box" like they can only date other people with ASD. My boyfriend of two years has ASD and is the sweetest, most genuine, and caring person I have ever dated. We view the world very differently but I think that is a huge strength in a relationship because we bring things out in each other we wouldn't necessarily do if we saw the world in the same way. I was very disappointed to see there were no "mixed" relationships portrayed in this show.
Bunny Baker I also found it a bit cringey that they introduced everyone with the super stereotyped way of listing their special interests and their sensory issues (as dislikes or whatever their terminology was.) Laughed too when the other girl- man am I bad at names- said she’s bisexual because my first critique was “No way are this many autistics heterosexual!” I know we got the super cute girl/girl date but... seems like a strikingly high number of us are queer. Also lots of us fall somewhere on the asexuality spectrum (I know I do. I’m also a lesbian and I’m not incapable of attraction but it’s so rare I find that to be much more limiting than my autism in terms of dating really. It’s always like... do I hope maybe an attraction develops or...?) I think forcing this autistic to date other autistics thing was also rough because while obviously it’s a spectrum, a lot of the guys seemed to be in a very different place on the spectrum than the women and that seemed to be an unspoken but obvious issue that popped up repeatedly. They definitely did a good job trying to match people in that sense but eh... I do think it might be hard to get neurotypical folks on the show and there’s always the risk of weird fetishists (which I don’t know that that’s a major thing with autism but as someone who has physical disabilities, it’s always something that crosses my mind. Anyway, in some ways the show was better than I expected. But it wasn’t without issues.
Their honesty and bluntness is so refreshing. Watching this made me realize how fake neurotypical people can be, especially when navigating the dating scene.
in real life, what u r calling refreshing ends up being hated by most neurotypicals and so i read your comment as you were being entertained by autistic ppl. which is awful. but maybe thats not what happened. i dont understand what is supposed to be "refreshing" about honesty. isnt honesty the baseline of any relationship?
@@sferrara "they"? i am autistic. i am "they" - and i dont care how u phrase it, to me it sounds like instead of accepting the different approach of autistic ppl, you put "them" or rather "us" on a cute adoration platform. that is repulsive to me. so. there you go again, here you get my honesty, my blunt and refreshing directness. u still find it so u can learn from it?
Maddi saying that children are a waste of time and money when her mom told her to not just say "I don't want kids" gave me so much life. Rock on Maddi.
It is his purity and sincerity Zachery ,he is probably the purist soul in the world There is something so special about him I really hope he could find someone who could appreciate him as much as he wants to do for them😇🙏🏻
Kelvin has so much within to give. Wonderful Father raising him on his own, reminds me of my Dad. I hope they all know what joy they give, just being themselves.
I think it was all that vintage 1950s/1960s TV he indulges in that made him that way. He talks like someone from one of those shows- and that's a good thing! Those were great eras of TV! Very warm, fun, and uplifting.
The whole cast is amazing but something about Mark, Michael and Andrew just melts my heart ! I just need to see them all with someone they love they deserve it so much 😭😭😭
@JDMime You overanalyze the comments. Just that. I'm glad that a lot of people empathize with the characters on the show. I'm sure the other persons thinks the same.
am I the only one who cried while Jimmy proposed to Sharnae? I love this couple so much :3 and obviously, my favorite single: Mark. He's such a cute guy :)
She's not that bad to be fair. High social intelligence and iq. Could hold down a job for example and won't need to be dependent on her parents her entire life
Love them all but Michael the most. One thing i love about them is they are so genuine about their feeling, and won't be afraid to say it. That's what lots of people can't do.
Bro, watching the scenes with Mark made me feel some kind of way I've never felt before. He is just so so nice that I found myself desperately wanting him to find happiness. Like, down to my core I just really like him and want him to do well in everything, and I've never felt that before, that I can recall
@Bacon Eater Mark's sincerity , kindness and purity is so real and infectious it actually causes our hearts to be humbled and overwhelmed every time we hear him speak or interact on the show, he touched us all deeply that is the best way I can describe it I have had the same experience as you :)
When watching the show, I was like “Mark, hit me up, I’m down to hear about dinosaurs any day” lol honestly, would go on a Zoom date with him, he’s so sweet
When Andrew's father said that Andrew wished he was normal in the past, I burst into tears. This people on this show are so kind and genuine, it's refreshing!
Same, as someone that is on the spectrum I told this to myself or my parents so many times when I was younger. I don’t think I’ve ever related to something more in my life.
The more I watch these guys, their honesty, their vulnerability, how willing they are to wear their hearts on their sleeves, the more I come to the conclusion that it’s the rest of society that is broken. We should all aspire to be this genuine and sincere ❤️
Mark is such a great guy! He's an absolute sweetheart and sooo articulate, he has a way of finding the right words! ❤ Michael is a great guy as well. They are all great but Mark just pulls on my heartstrings.
Lisa Andrews I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to infantilize him. I just meant, because he was always so sweet and optimistic, he may be disappointed by the ways of some people. But of course he’s a grown person, he can take care of himself. I just don’t know a lot about autism, so I will try to inform myself more. Sorry if I offended someone
Teehee Thank you for saying sorry, it’s very refreshing seeing people able to apologize. Also Lisa did a great job by elaborating her point, and because of her, I learned why infantilizing adults who are disabled is a big deal. Way better than just giving a poor “gross infantilization”
Mark And Michael made me smile every time they were on camera. Everyone on here was so brave. Dating and relationships can be awkward and scary, but they went for it.
Agree with you so much, he is probably the purist ,kindest soul in the world I would really want to see him find someone that could appreciate him and care for him as much as he wants to do for them 🙏🏻 He literally has the most loving heart😇 I wish I could be half the man he is so pure 🙏🏻
Finished season one in one day. This show is one of the most lovely things I’ve ever seen. Those people make human beings adorable again. Please give us a dozen of seasons!!!
Films usually portrait autistic people as having no emotions and being misunderstood geniuses. It's so important to show different people on the spectrum and specially how lovely and funny they can be. I hope all the cast find love soon although it's not an easy task to anyone. I laughed hard several times and went to tears at the proposals. I just didn't get why they only dated people from the spectrum. Anyways, I could also recommend Jodi's classes and the dating workshop to several neurotypical people I know! Great show!
There's people in real life on the spectrum that date neurotypicals (people who aren't autistic) as someone who is autistic I hope they mix it up next series
I'm guessing because it's a little tough to find people with the patience to date someone with a disability? I'd also be a bit worried about the 'power' differential if it were my family member too...
As a mum of three young autistic boys this show made me cry my heart out and gave me hope. I wish every single one of these beautiful people love and happiness. They all deserve it. 💜💜💜
I don't have Netflix and not in the USA or UK don't know if it would be on Netflix here but I started crying just watching a trailer when they had a wedding and hearing the groom's speech on the Season Two trailer just before.
One thing I did notice about all the cast is how genuine and such nice people they were. The world could really learn a lot from them all! Also Chloe is a babe! ❤️
MARK IS THE MAN! he makes my heart melt. I just wanna give im a big cuddle and never let go. You will get there Mark, someone as optimistic and caring as you definitely has someone awesome out there waiting for ya. 😊
I totally agree, it is horrible. I don't like the undateables, but I think this show managed to make more people aware of autism and how amazing them and their families are.
Nah, the Undateables is a great show. Sincere and full of heart. The point is to show that the disabled community are not undateable. It’s pure and beautiful!
@@seriousmanner787 I totally agree! I Think the name is a shock when you first hear it and the premise behind the show, but that's definitely not the tone of the show in my opinion. It's a comment on how disabled people are often incorrectly perceived. But I totally understand why people would be surprised/upset by it, and I'm not a part of the disabled community, just someone who enjoyed learning more about it :)
Insulting title, but did you notice at the opening of the show - or after any break - there's an animated cupid who throws an arrow at the word "Undateables" and knocks the "Un" off? Leaving the title to read; "dateables". And that's the truth! After watching that show - with genuine, courageous people truly wanting love and putting themselves out there - I realized they're actually far far more "dateable" than most people who are floundering around on dating apps, playing games with each other, ghosting etc.
My favorite thing about this show is that it is like the polar opposite of Tiger King. Every single one of these people seem totally genuine, respectable people that would be great to have as friends. Whereas almost the entire cast of Tiger King... I want them all in jail.
i cried actual tears in every episode, especially the finale. PLEASE DO A SEASON 2. WE NEED IT!!!!!!! I really did feel connected to people in the spectrum, and learned a whole lot of things that change the way i see Autism. Please, a season 2.
I love Chloe! She’s so genuine and intelligent, plus she is so kind and loyal. I hope she finds the person of her dreams and get to experience a wonderful love 💕
Season 2 is about to be aired in Australia in a few weeks. Not sure when it'll be on Netflix as it's an Australian made show, Netflix Just buys the rights to show it internationally
this show makes me cry for how beautiful they all are and how funny and adorable each of them are...my nephew and I are on the spectrum and it good to see a show showing the world how it really is living in the spectrum x
Michael is so amazing - please get him his own show! He’s so interesting, he says everything we’re all thinking and frankly, the guy knows how to pull off a suit.
I fell in love with the entire cast. I was so disappointed when it ended so soon. This show and these beautiful people touched me in such a deep and wholesome way that I really needed this year.
I need season after season of this show so we can follow all of them until they find love! Add Thomas to the show too! Him offering a moonlit dance was so sweet!
How are there 99 dislikes? There is nothing but happiness and positivity in this video. The cast of this show are some of the most genuine and loving personalities I have seen.
I absolutely LOVE seeing how everyone is doing today. I love the raw emotion of this show. My son is on the spectrum and has his own special challenges trying to date and this show casts a light on how different and difficult it can be to date if your on the spectrum . I wish the BEST OF LUCK to all the cast and I know they will find their special someone.
Awwwwwwww Michael and his love ducks made me cry😭 And oh my gosh that proposal you can just see it in his eyes how much they have had to overcome and the fact that they found each other is so beautiful. I hope that everyone finds someone for them. This show is so damn beautiful, honest, and true😭😭😭🥰🥰🥰🥰
I want to follow each of these people around as a wingman on their dates, and just pop in to say, “you’re doing great. Everything is going totally fine” every once in a while. I also want to tell each of their parents that they’ve done a fantastic job, and give them a hug.
I was so moved by all the cast members, and equally moved by how loving and supportive all their families are. It goes to show the power of a parent’s unconditional love. Strong, patient and loving parenting clearly guided these people into becoming wonderful, fully formed members of society. Bravo families.
Mark!! 💕 He's genuine, sweet, pure, and a heart of gold. People take notes from him, he's a great person. I hope they all find their soulmate. ❤ you Mark
His attitude towards disappointment is so inspiring he is the purist and most sincere person I’ve seen in life If we could all be half of what Mark is🙏🏻🙏🏻
Can’t believe no one has suggested the ultimate combination: a children’s show about dinosaurs, directed by Mark, illustrated by Kelvin and voiced by Michael.
Yes this would be epic
We have a winner!
Yes, the ultimate trio😂💕
@netflix
UM. This is genius. We need this @netflix
I NEED A SEASON 2! In fact I just need enough seasons until I see everyone of them with their perfect partner !
Andrew is my favorite one! He deserves someone who love him and He deserve to love to someone as well.
They're casting for season 2 right now actually :)
Kevin is such a nice boy and if he ever writes a manga or makes an anime, I will watch it directly!
Yass
Yep however long it takes
I would happily take 12 seasons of this show over any other dating show. The realness and honesty - and I'm just so proud of everyone on this show just trying their best to be themselves and put themselves out there.
Completely agree with both of you I pray Netflix reads these comments!!! My niece is on the spectrum and this show gave me hope for her !!!!!!
Vanesha Patel agreed!
this is why us autistic folk are fighting to be seen for our authenticity as well 🥰 we have our OWN social norms!!

Oh. My. God. This is genius!

This is exactly what I was thinking. Not a single bad bone in him
Then date him. Save the world.

The downside is he's got a pretty tough shell to get through to be more comfortable around women.
I’m surprised I don’t see more people talking about Andrew! He was my favorite from the series, always so considerate
Samantha Kellie me too!! He pulled my heart strings
Same!
Michael def number one, but my heart just rips thinking about Andrew and how selfless he is.
Samantha Kellie yes. He is a sweetheart too!
Me too I really liked him
Michael & his parents could have their own show. He was the most entertaining person in any series I've seen in a long time.
I think it was all that vintage 1950s/1960s TV he indulges in that made him that way. He talks like someone from one of those shows- and that's a good thing! Those were great eras of TV! Very warm, fun, and uplifting.
Agreed!
New show called Michael and Mark!
Yesssss
Ahah everybody’s two favorite ♥️
Agreed
with special guest Kelvin
Yesssssssss!
The whole cast is amazing but something about Mark, Michael and Andrew just melts my heart ! I just need to see them all with someone they love they deserve it so much 😭😭😭
Same here, They all are so sweet.
Andrew 💕💕💕
I was waiting for someone to bring up Andrew😭😭 he’s so sweet!
JDMime this guy.. why did u get so mad lmao I’m sure she has empathy for all of them but picked out her fav characters 😂
@JDMime You overanalyze the comments. Just that. I'm glad that a lot of people empathize with the characters on the show. I'm sure the other persons thinks the same.
am I the only one who cried while Jimmy proposed to Sharnae? I love this couple so much :3 and obviously, my favorite single: Mark. He's such a cute guy :)
Awwww I cried too that was so sweet ❤
Greys Acosta Peña definitely cried haha
I cried and got goose bumps hahhaha I absolutely loved them!
o yes, tears were shed
I was bawling, I had to pause it and regroup.
Maddi is literally my favorite. She’s so funny and her family is so supportive.
Mine too!
Maddi cracks me up!!!
Agreed! I really loved her humour. She seems like such a fun person to hang out with
maddi literally had me cracking up. shes so funny
She's not that bad to be fair. High social intelligence and iq. Could hold down a job for example and won't need to be dependent on her parents her entire life
Love them all but Michael the most. One thing i love about them is they are so genuine about their feeling, and won't be afraid to say it. That's what lots of people can't do.
Omg Kelvin seems so sweet and he is such a talanted artist!
kelvin is bae
Kelvin really shocked me on his date too. He was great!
He was waiting patiently being good.
yess!!!
Jodi must have been so proud of him. I know I was.
kelvin is goat
Bro, watching the scenes with Mark made me feel some kind of way I've never felt before.
He is just so so nice that I found myself desperately wanting him to find happiness. Like, down to my core I just really like him and want him to do well in everything, and I've never felt that before, that I can recall
Same!!
Seriously!!!!
And his parents are so sweet and supportive too picking him up from the dates. I just really want the best for him!
that's called "agape", or true brotherly love!
@Bacon Eater Mark's sincerity , kindness and purity is so real and infectious it actually causes our hearts to be humbled and overwhelmed every time we hear him speak or interact on the show, he touched us all deeply that is the best way I can describe it
I have had the same experience as you :)
If Australia post does not hire kelvin of the bat, I'm gonna need to have words.
When watching the show, I was like “Mark, hit me up, I’m down to hear about dinosaurs any day” lol honestly, would go on a Zoom date with him, he’s so sweet
Same. If i was in AUS and single i would be interested lol hes so cute and sweet
Jordan Brackin girrrrrlllll yeeeesss you get me!! 😄🙌🏼
Same!!
Right! 😍
When Andrew's father said that Andrew wished he was normal in the past, I burst into tears. This people on this show are so kind and genuine, it's refreshing!
They are some of the best people around
Same, as someone that is on the spectrum I told this to myself or my parents so many times when I was younger. I don’t think I’ve ever related to something more in my life.
The more I watch these guys, their honesty, their vulnerability, how willing they are to wear their hearts on their sleeves, the more I come to the conclusion that it’s the rest of society that is broken.
We should all aspire to be this genuine and sincere ❤️
word
Agree 🥰 I just said this to someone else after sending the clip
So true!!!!
I’m married to an Aspie and it’s great.
Agreed!
Mark is such a great guy! He's an absolute sweetheart and sooo articulate, he has a way of finding the right words! ❤ Michael is a great guy as well. They are all great but Mark just pulls on my heartstrings.
He's so optimistic and sweet. I love both of them!!!
Yes they are both wonderful and so deserving of love!
Why won't you date him then? lol
Why is my boy Mark such a little cutie!!! I want to protect him from all the evil of the world
Awhhhh me too 💜❤️💜❤️💜
Gross infantilisation
Yeah, don't infantilize disabled people. He is a grown man, who happens to have autism. He's not a child.
Lisa Andrews I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to infantilize him. I just meant, because he was always so sweet and optimistic, he may be disappointed by the ways of some people. But of course he’s a grown person, he can take care of himself. I just don’t know a lot about autism, so I will try to inform myself more. Sorry if I offended someone
Teehee Thank you for saying sorry, it’s very refreshing seeing people able to apologize. Also Lisa did a great job by elaborating her point, and because of her, I learned why infantilizing adults who are disabled is a big deal. Way better than just giving a poor “gross infantilization”
Oh my gosh Andrew is just such a beautiful person - they all are! And they all deserve so much happiness and love
Imagine how proud his mum must be. Gorgeous man
Mark And Michael made me smile every time they were on camera. Everyone on here was so brave. Dating and relationships can be awkward and scary, but they went for it.
Maddi is flipping hilarious. Her and Michael need to try getting into comedy somehow.
Maddi was my fave but probably because she looks like one of my best friends
oh my yes they'd be so great together in improv
She is brilliant, the expressions on her face = opposite of "poker face"
I completely agree.
Agree!! She's a hoot!!
Mark is the man! Mark please start a CZcams channel for your reviews, I'd love to see them. Especially for dinosaur movies!
I just want Mark to know that I absolutely adore him and I would listen to him talk about dinosaurs forever
I fell in love with Mark. He is so kind and sincere. Precious man.
I love mark!! He’s such a kind, brave-hearted man, more men need to be like him. I need a mark in my life lol (And I love everyone else of course!!)
Agree with you so much, he is probably the purist ,kindest soul in the world I would really want to see him find someone that could appreciate him and care for him as much as he wants to do for them 🙏🏻
He literally has the most loving heart😇
I wish I could be half the man he is so pure 🙏🏻
Michael is such a sweetheart, his mom is right every family needs one of him.
lol I loved it when she said that!
Yes, he has such an innocence and sweetness about him, he was probably my fav... and I would also pay to see him host his own daytime talk show.
Chloe is amazing! Love her top also and how she speaks do candidly about the joy of the date with Lotus!
Chloe and Lotus were the absolute highlight of the show! There was so much chemistry there and I felt giggly and kind of nervous along with them.
Kinda sad they didn't work out though
Kelvin's artwork is AMAZING! How is he not a famous artist by now?!
Lady Potter it really Is. I would support him and buy prints.
best show Netflix has ever released
Mark and Chloe need to meet up! I’d love to see if they get along. They both seem so sweet and like they’d get along so well.
Was literally thinking the exact same thing
This comment aged well lol top notch prediction skillz
Michaels spongebob bit had me ROLLING 😂 it was spot on!!
his squidward impression was so good !!
Who else is so excited to read Kelvin's book collaboration?!
Finished season one in one day. This show is one of the most lovely things I’ve ever seen. Those people make human beings adorable again. Please give us a dozen of seasons!!!
Agree 100% and I watched the entire thing today, and recommended to my friends. It just made me so happy, and they were so REAL
Films usually portrait autistic people as having no emotions and being misunderstood geniuses. It's so important to show different people on the spectrum and specially how lovely and funny they can be. I hope all the cast find love soon although it's not an easy task to anyone. I laughed hard several times and went to tears at the proposals. I just didn't get why they only dated people from the spectrum. Anyways, I could also recommend Jodi's classes and the dating workshop to several neurotypical people I know! Great show!
There's people in real life on the spectrum that date neurotypicals (people who aren't autistic) as someone who is autistic I hope they mix it up next series
I'm guessing because it's a little tough to find people with the patience to date someone with a disability? I'd also be a bit worried about the 'power' differential if it were my family member too...
As a mum of three young autistic boys this show made me cry my heart out and gave me hope. I wish every single one of these beautiful people love and happiness. They all deserve it. 💜💜💜
I don't have Netflix and not in the USA or UK don't know if it would be on Netflix here but I started crying just watching a trailer when they had a wedding and hearing the groom's speech on the Season Two trailer just before.
One thing I did notice about all the cast is how genuine and such nice people they were. The world could really learn a lot from them all! Also Chloe is a babe! ❤️
MARK IS THE MAN! he makes my heart melt. I just wanna give im a big cuddle and never let go. You will get there Mark, someone as optimistic and caring as you definitely has someone awesome out there waiting for ya. 😊
I really like how the title of the show isn't insulting. In the UK, we have a similar show on TV called "The Undateables". Like really?
I totally agree, it is horrible. I don't like the undateables, but I think this show managed to make more people aware of autism and how amazing them and their families are.
Nah, the Undateables is a great show. Sincere and full of heart. The point is to show that the disabled community are not undateable. It’s pure and beautiful!
@@seriousmanner787 I totally agree! I Think the name is a shock when you first hear it and the premise behind the show, but that's definitely not the tone of the show in my opinion. It's a comment on how disabled people are often incorrectly perceived.
But I totally understand why people would be surprised/upset by it, and I'm not a part of the disabled community, just someone who enjoyed learning more about it :)
Yeah, sounds kinda harsh. I’m not from the UK tho
Insulting title, but did you notice at the opening of the show - or after any break - there's an animated cupid who throws an arrow at the word "Undateables" and knocks the "Un" off? Leaving the title to read; "dateables". And that's the truth! After watching that show - with genuine, courageous people truly wanting love and putting themselves out there - I realized they're actually far far more "dateable" than most people who are floundering around on dating apps, playing games with each other, ghosting etc.
My favorite thing about this show is that it is like the polar opposite of Tiger King. Every single one of these people seem totally genuine, respectable people that would be great to have as friends. Whereas almost the entire cast of Tiger King... I want them all in jail.
Agreed 100%
Kind of an odd comparison, but I can't disagree.
i cried actual tears in every episode, especially the finale. PLEASE DO A SEASON 2. WE NEED IT!!!!!!! I really did feel connected to people in the spectrum, and learned a whole lot of things that change the way i see Autism. Please, a season 2.
How Mark doesn’t have a women is so beyond me!!!!!!!!!! If I was single I’d be all over that!
saaaaaaaaaaaame. WTF! How is possible he never dated anyone before the show??!!! He should look outside the spectrum
LITERALLY
I'm a guy and yup he's killer, fantastic smile and he's so generous about his dates even when he gets rejected. Top shelf that man.
I love Chloe! She’s so genuine and intelligent, plus she is so kind and loyal. I hope she finds the person of her dreams and get to experience a wonderful love 💕
And she has amazing hair
She's so sweet and pretty
Im soo glad Michael got into voice acting. When i just heard his voice i instantly loved it. I think he would do really good reading audio books too.
I love this show so much - we need more episodes! :-)
Season 2 is about to be aired in Australia in a few weeks. Not sure when it'll be on Netflix as it's an Australian made show, Netflix Just buys the rights to show it internationally
Who else thinks he should give us an update in a year
this show makes me cry for how beautiful they all are and how funny and adorable each of them are...my nephew and I are on the spectrum and it good to see a show showing the world how it really is living in the spectrum x
Honestly this whole series was a soul cleanser. All these people are such sweet, pure souls. I just want my LotS babies to find love
Dearly Frappuccino yesss “soul cleanser”. Perfect 👌🏽
Michael is so amazing - please get him his own show! He’s so interesting, he says everything we’re all thinking and frankly, the guy knows how to pull off a suit.
Kevin is such a nice boy and if he ever writes a manga or makes an anime, I will watch it directly!
Netflix I hope you continue this show! The world needs more Jodie!
Mark is an actual ray of sunshine, I love how sincere and polite he was on his dates
I fell in love with the entire cast. I was so disappointed when it ended so soon. This show and these beautiful people touched me in such a deep and wholesome way that I really needed this year.
PROTECT MICHAEL AT ALL COSTS! He is so pure and sweet he deserves the world
I need season after season of this show so we can follow all of them until they find love! Add Thomas to the show too! Him offering a moonlit dance was so sweet!
Yes, we need more Thomas! My heart melted when he asked her to dance 😫
My boy Kelvin!!’ The sweetest guy🥺🥺
Team Kelvin reporting for duty.
the loml
"I draw my own pictures" holds up badass artwork
How are there 99 dislikes? There is nothing but happiness and positivity in this video. The cast of this show are some of the most genuine and loving personalities I have seen.
I absolutely LOVE seeing how everyone is doing today. I love the raw emotion of this show. My son is on the spectrum and has his own special challenges trying to date and this show casts a light on how different and difficult it can be to date if your on the spectrum . I wish the BEST OF LUCK to all the cast and I know they will find their special someone.
Who would like a Mark fan page??
As a tribute to the kindest,sincerest and most pure hearted human being!
Sign me up❤😍id marry him in a heartbeat tbh
We really need to get into contact with him 🙌🏻😀
I would marry Mark in a heartbeat.
Awwwwwwww Michael and his love ducks made me cry😭 And oh my gosh that proposal you can just see it in his eyes how much they have had to overcome and the fact that they found each other is so beautiful. I hope that everyone finds someone for them. This show is so damn beautiful, honest, and true😭😭😭🥰🥰🥰🥰
also mark has my whole heart!!! he's the most genuine and kind person i've ever seen on tv
This show was one of my most pure, wholesome things I've watched in a long time. I wish them all the best in holding onto hope and finding love.
I want to follow each of these people around as a wingman on their dates, and just pop in to say, “you’re doing great. Everything is going totally fine” every once in a while.
I also want to tell each of their parents that they’ve done a fantastic job, and give them a hug.
Mark is so endearing
Not something we deserved but something we definitely needed ❤️
God I love Mark. He is so genuinely sweet and positive.
I was so moved by all the cast members, and equally moved by how loving and supportive all their families are. It goes to show the power of a parent’s unconditional love. Strong, patient and loving parenting clearly guided these people into becoming wonderful, fully formed members of society. Bravo families.
I hope Mark finds what he is looking for. Such a sweet guy 😢
So wonderful to see anyone seeking love and not giving up!! Michael has a standout personality and I am routing for his true love.🙏💕💕💕
JKzjsjahjkkqp
Mark!! 💕 He's genuine, sweet, pure, and a heart of gold. People take notes from him, he's a great person. I hope they all find their soulmate. ❤ you Mark
I think Jodie should have her own show, she’s amazing at what she does!
This show made me so happy. As much as I loved all of them, Kelvin meleted my heart when he went on his date.
Netflix should produce an animated show created by Michael
Yes! Michael's voice acting with Kelvin's anime!
💯💯💯
That will be awesome!
Make the cast all dinosaurs, then have Mark make sure everything is scientifically accurate, and the show is perfect.
This show was magical. These people were beautiful. I've learned so much from them. I cried, laughed, and smiled uncontrollably!
This better have a season 2!! It was so refreshing to watch genuine people that are honest and don’t play games or have social filters.
Ooh my man Mark, I wish I could have his strong will
His attitude towards disappointment is so inspiring he is the purist and most sincere person I’ve seen in life
If we could all be half of what Mark is🙏🏻🙏🏻
I want to know how Olivia's date, Thomas, is doing! He was so wonderful and I loved him so much
I love Michael's passion for Spongebob. We'd get along as friends.
SAAAAME
I’m in love with Mark. He’s a legit dream man.
