More Critic Reviews for Dates Season 1 All Critics (9) | Top Critics (6) | Fresh (8) | Rotten (1) Even though, as is often the case in real life, the second Dates is a bit of a letdown from the first, this series is worth swiping right and clicking "like." Jul 6, 2015 | Full Review… Tom Conroy Media Life Top Critic The premise presents tantalizing possibilities, a fact not lost on Elsley and his cowriters, who ensure that the dialogue-heavy episodes move at a smooth pace. Jul 9, 2015 | Full Review… Tirdad Derakhshani Philadelphia Inquirer Top Critic There's little action in Dates. It's about language, verbal and nonverbal. When the words are this good, that's enough. Jul 8, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… David Hinckley New York Daily News Top Critic It's as candid and absorbing as reality TV isn't. Jul 8, 2015 | Full Review… Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe Top Critic For adults of a certain age -- let's say mid-30s and upward -- Dates might well have considerable appeal. Hey, all they have to do is find it. Jul 7, 2015 | Rating: B- | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic ... the show's dialogue and direction, which give the episodes the elegant (if low-budget) feel of short films, are solid enough to support stronger storylines. Sep 21, 2017 | Full Review… Judy Berman Flavorwire Let's just say that this twisty, tasty diversion is worthy of a second date. Jul 6, 2015 | Full Review… Matt Roush TV Insider Online daters meet for the first time in witty Brit series. Jul 21, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media Despite trying to be something fresh, something that taps into the world of modern dating and how we represent ourselves online, the end result is far too stale.
