‘The Undateables’ – Exploitative or uplifting?

Looking for love can be tricky, but some find it harder than others. Add disability to the equation and it can sometimes seem almost impossible.

This three-part series from the UK’s Channel 4 follows the journeys of several extraordinary singletons as they enter the dating circuit in pursuit of love.

From a stand-up comedian with Tourettes and a trapeze artist with brittle bones, to a media student with Down’s Syndrome, an amateur poet with a learning disability, and a skateboarder with a facial disfigurement, Undateables follows them as they enter the world of blind dates, matchmakers and speed dating.

Their quest to find love and companionship will take them on a journey of highs and lows, but all are open to finding “The One.”
