"It’s so weird I don’t even think it would have gotten green lit to be in a wacky rom com. Yet it’s relatable and brought me back to the days I was young and stupid and doing any and all the wrong things for someone to like me."

"All the dating stories available to these long-coupled guests are either obviously shop-worn...or just blatantly second-hand. The somewhat tone-deaf air of the proceedings was perhaps to be expected from Jamil...A successful podcast should feel like dropping into a good conversation. Bad Dates has the air of a group of people stuck in the corner of a ghastly party effortfully trying to have a nice time in the face of adverse circumstances. There’s a lot of over-loud laughter. We are living through a dismal era of pointless celebrity podcasts. Not everybody should have a podcast."
