And about something more interesting than contempt." American version Īn American version of the show, titled Love on the Spectrum U.S. It was awarded 4 out 5 stars by Rebecca Nicholson of The Guardian, saying that "at its best, this show is a compassionate, human celebration of difference, and of love." Brett White of Decider recommended for viewers to stream the show, observing that " Love on the Spectrum is unlike any Netflix reality dating show you've seen before, in the best way." Alison Foreman of Mashable gave the show a positive review, saying that " Love on the Spectrum is an affecting show that paints telling portraits of human connection that are so lovely, so moving, and so wholly satisfying, it's hard to imagine reality dating being done any other way", while Brian Lowry of CNN Entertainment said that the show "exhibits empathy toward the featured players without condescending toward them, and quickly bridges any cultural barriers in a broadly universal manner." In his review of the series, Daniel Hart of Ready Steady Cut was also positive, concluding that "a reality series that helps to dispel some of the stigma surrounding autism is particularly welcome." Although Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune was somewhat more critical of certain parts of the series, he nevertheless observed that "Unlike Tiger King or The Bachelor, or certain real-life political reality shows that lost touch with the real world a long time ago, Love on the Spectrum is about empathy. The show has received positive reviews from critics. some of the questions posed seem inappropriate or infantilizing, even down to the tone of voice, and the music is occasionally too cutesy for adults going on dates." The second series reduced the role of the neurotypical relationship coach and expanded the depiction of the social lives of the main cast members with them discussing their dating with peers in a more age appropriate way. Joseph Stanichar from Paste said "Love on the Spectrum isn't perfect, especially in its first season. Sarah Kurchak from Time said some of her misgivings "may not occur to non-autistic viewers, but might linger in the minds of autistic ones: Is the score a bit too cutesy for a show about adults and dating? Would the close-ups on potentially eccentric clothing choices have happened if their subjects were neurotypical? Were the introductions that listed their subjects' "quirky" likes and dislikes genuinely informative or infantilizing?" The therapy and assistance offered to the young people featured on the show is similarly out of touch." There are more interviews with parents than with the people the show is ostensibly about. Sara Luterman from Spectrum said "I respect the creators' good intentions" but "The show is also riddled with bad advice and is frequently infantilizing. Cast Cast membersĪutistic reviewers generally liked the show but questioned aspects such as editing choices, focusing on parental reactions and the neurotypical coaching, that preferenced neurotypical perspectives and infantalised the neurodivergent cast members. A second season was confirmed in September 2020 and premiered on. In July 2020, it was released on Netflix to other territories. Love on the Spectrum first aired on the ABC in November 2019. O'Clery got the idea for the series after working on Employable Me about people with different disabilities trying to find employment. It follows people on the autism spectrum as they explore the dating world.
