In the first seconds I was "arg that will be a dating coach thing, boring". It goes a little better than that. First date is ok, quite classic but the actors are pretty good, you see the chemistry between them, and the awkwardness too. But first hint: aren't they a little old for this to be their first ? Obviously they will meet again.
The second relationship is quite something. Amy's guy is hot, they have great sex, they seem to have fun together at parties and she just can't take the way he sighs ? Well, she'd evidently have a lot of trouble staying with someone without the system. And there's no way she would have been happy staying longer with Frank. Then she goes through 36 hours one, seems the system does learn, she probably wouldn't be able to stand other people for a longer time. Meanwhile Frank is in a living hell where they both hate everything about each other since the first second.
Then they're together again. You just know the "let's not look at the date" is coming, and just as well that one of them will cheat and look. The end date going down was a great twist.
However it's seemed almost obvious that the system was a simulation. When they refuse to look at the date, you wonder how could that possibly work ? You must follow the system so you can't go away or plan any vacation. Unless they're completely blocked inside the walls for years and have no work, no family, nothing. That's when you realize they never ever interact with anybody but their date. Too weird. So when he finally mentions it, I was hoping this would be a distraction and it would be something else. There would be fun stuff to explore on a society that works like this. But then Have you ever had more or less than four ? and that's the definitive tell. Too bad.
That all of it is finally inside a dating app is, like in the previous episode, not really a twist, but just a final joke. Also, it works on rebellion percentage ? They don't even think to try and wait to see if they are each other ultimate one as they're supposed to be paired on the same day ?
I don't really have complaints on the episode in itself, but it just could have been bigger.
