Dating #NoFilter is an American dating reality television series that premiered on E! on January 21, 2019.[1][2][3]
The show was produced by Lime Pictures and All3Media America.[1] The series features a panel of comedians watching and making humorous commentary on footage of blind first dates set up by the producers.[4]
The show was renewed for a second season on May 3, 2019.[4][5] The second season premiered on August 6, 2019.[6] A UK version of the series was ordered by Sky in December 2020.[7][8] It premiered on February 25, 2021.[9][10]
For every episode, singles are paired up and sent on blind first dates. A panel of seven comedians split into three pairs watches footage of the first dates and makes commentary while sitting on a couch and enjoying refreshments.[1][2] Past panelists have included Nina Parker, Cara Connors, and Kelsey Darragh.[1][11]
The Daily Telegraph rated it a 2 Star out of 5. It stated : "...the concept: those on the dates are there to be laughed at, by the comedians, by us, therefore they have to be risible – buffoons, braggarts and Barbie dolls. We cannot root for the singletons, as we do so often on First Dates, which robs the show of heart and purpose."[10]
The Chortle rated it a 3 Star out of 5.[12]
Sportsology called it "Dating on Steroids" and also "The hosts are funny, and the daters have no boundaries."[13]
