The gimmick is hokey, but beneath it lies a surprisingly untrashy reality show that actually sheds some light on the dating game.

Dark is an interesting idea with a refreshing lack of bombast and fakery that propels so many reality shows.

As presented, Dating in the Dark mercifully makes the orchestrated search for TV romance a little less deaf and dumb than it could have been.

For me, this show is a one-night stand, not a relationship.

Darrin T gave it a10:
I love the show please come back on.
Emily L gave it a10:
This show is cheesy but interesting. My friends and I really enjoy seeing who will be the shallowest person, after they see the other person. Sometimes we are really surprised! I hope they keep it on in the fall.
Allie L. gave it a10:
I really loved the show. Taken people completely out of their elements, and letting them actually meet someone else purely on personality... I love the show.
Susan gave it a10:
Love the show and look forward to more of it.
therese o gave it an8:
Entertaining, fast-paced.
Kelly G gave it an8:
I liked it. Didn't expect to but the way it is presented and handled was well done. When you figure we size people up in less than 5 seconds when we can see them this is a good alternative.
CS gave it a9:
Being one of the "daters" on the show, I expected it to be super corny, (which it still kinda is) I am pleasantly entertained!
