The number of dating shows on-air is at an all-time high. Flick through the channels on your TV or your favourite streaming service, and you're bound to come across one almost immediately.

Couple that with the saturation of dating apps, and voila; we're officially at peak dating.

However, that doesn't necessarily mean all love seekers are having a wonderful time in today's cornucopia of connection.

The types of people we tend to see on the biggest reality shows are typically confident, cisgender and able-bodied. But if that's all we see, what does that tell us about who's most deserving of love?

Cue Better Date Than Never; a six-part docuseries about love and relationships that follows a diverse group of singles stepping out on their first date.

It's a show that celebrates difference, values uniqueness in many forms, and features people of various ages, abilities, and sexualities looking for that special someone.

I thought the premise of the show was interesting and it was interesting to see how online 'relationships' of many years fizzled on sight. It was great how they blended a diverse cast (in terms of looks, race, sexuality etc) all in one without it being a big deal, it just was a reflection of actual reality. I wonder if they could ever do an Australian version and do it justice?
