      The show currently has a 14% rating on Rotten Tomatoes,[41] where critics describe it as “psychological torture” and “Freudian Horror”.

        Eight pairs of mothers and sons travel to a villa in Mexico to look for love. Upon arrival, the contestants are told that the sixteen contestants were to romantically pursue each other. The announcement is a surprise to the contestants; one contestant, April, stated that she thought her son would be on a separate retreat instead of in her dating pool

        Checks out 🤮

          The second season takes place in a lakefront chalet and instead features the younger men competing against their own fathers for the same pool of women.

          Someone needs to go to prison for coming up with this premise

          Holy shit. I’d actually heard of this before and thought it was one of those fake reality shows you see on TV shows like 30 Rock 😄

            But that basically was a fake show on 30 Rock: “MILF Island” showed up in season 2 episode 11.

      Each mother-son pair shares a room. In the second episode, the contestants guess each other’s deepest sex secrets, and one of the women reveals that she has had sex with her son’s best friend.

      Ok I can kinda see the draw. Trainwrecks are pretty interesting

        Huh, I see it too. Not sure I’m willing to do further investigation though.
