Spoilers for all episodes of Age of Attraction season 1 ahead. A relationship like 54-year-old stylist Theresa Demaria and 27-year-old software salesman John Merrill’s seems exactly like what Netflix had in mind when brainstorming its newest reality show, Age of Attraction.
The series, which premiered on March 11, is Netflix's latest “social-experimental dating show.” Long-time fans of hits like Love Is Blind might find the format vaguely familiar: singles date in a secluded location (this time at a secluded nature retreat in Canada instead of in the pods) until they find someone they want to couple up with, and then take on the real world to see if their connection is built to last. The key difference is that, instead of not being able to see each other, the Age of Attraction contestants can’t reveal their ages until they’re ready to “commit” to each other and leave the retreat together.
