Television: The gentle pacing sets RTÉ's new dating show apart, with presenter Anna Geary pivoting with ease from the sports field to mainstream entertainmentMud is the drug on Love in the Country , a new dating series which starts with the intriguing premise that people in the muckier reaches of rural Ireland might be interested in romantic relationships.
‘The people we fall in love with are as incomplete as we are’: Marian Keyes shares six life lessons on turning 60 Geary is enthusiastic throughout – which is probably just as well considering the cringe-inducing format. A number of shortlisted candidates meet Alannah and Rob at a hotel. Each is then “interviewed” by our duo of singletons in a round of speed dating. Next, three finalists travel with Rob and Alannah to their country dwellings. It’s not Blind Date, that’s for sure.
Not much happens but that is not necessarily a negative. Dating today is a blur of swipes and likes. With the affable Geary wearing the captain’s armband, the series takes a more humane course. We’ll have to wait for future episodes to discover who makes the cut, dating-wise.
