Netflix's Dated and Related is not an incest-themed dating reality show

The Daily Beast

The title Dated and Related, among a slew of dating shows Netflix announced Thursday, may sound creepy, but it's (thankfully) misleading. "The title certainly suggests some truly nasty content. Netflix wouldn’t make a show about incest…right?" says The Daily Beast's Fletcher Peters. "Right. Though Dated and Related is an atrocious title for a reality show (it sounds like that episode of 30 Rock where Liz Lemon canoodles with her cousin), it’s not really about people having romantic relationships with their family members. While the show’s premise isn’t quite as bad as incest, it’s still pretty distasteful: Siblings will search for the loves of their lives as a unit." According to the official description, the brothers and sisters “will be seeing each other’s love life up close and personal."
