“Netflix’s new dating series doesn’t rely on gimmicks to help its hopeful singles find life partners. But “Indian Matchmaking” still manages a distinctive take on the overpopulated dating genre: a modern look at the process of arranged marriages.”

“The show reveals conversations that take place behind closed doors, making desis confront our biases and assumptions, while inviting non-desis to better understand our culture.”

- Sanjena Sathian, New York Times

“The series hits a winsome balance between genuine insight, gentle humor, cringe-inducing spectacle and heartwarming connection.”
