Indian Matchmaking: To Watch Or Not, Is The Question; Twitter Divided Over The Netflix Show!

Netflix's new reality show Indian Matchmaking is miles away from other reality shows like Too Hot To Handle and Love Is Blind, but it has the audiences divided just the same. The show released last week on the streaming platform and has turned out to be one of the most controversial ones.

Indian Matchmaking: To Watch Or Not To Watch Is The Question; Twitter Divided Over The Netflix Show

Indian Matchmaking introduces the audience to the world of arranged matchmaking where men and women find their partner with the help of a human mediator (unlike through apps), who has been arranged by their parents. Sima Taparia is the matchmaking aunty rolled in to find the perfect partners for a bunch of non-resident Indians (NRIs).

The list of bachelors and bachelorettes include girls with fair and brown complexion, rich boys and mummy-pleasing partners alongside their nosy aunties who are right there to pass their judgemental comments.

While you would think this is primetime content for the day, netizens have had a different reaction to Indian Matchmaking. Either way, it is currently one of the most talked about Netflix titles.

What upset some of the audience members more than the others is how close to accurate the show is when it comes to matchmaking in the desi community. While others have found the content too cringe-worthy to watch more than one episode. If just like Twitter, you are unable to decide if the Indian Matchmaking reality show is for you, here are some tweets to help you make up your mind.

The eight-part series with Sima Taparia as host approaches marriage with a box-ticking method that highlights the basic problem with the arranged marriage system where people are mostly reduced to commodities.
