Marrying Millions (2019– )
7/10
Awkward at times ... but amusing as well
5 April 2020
If you've ever been interested in marriage-track relationships where one party is very rich and the other isn't ... this show explores that idea in many ways.

Season 2 has just as much of a wild group as season 1 ... with a couple of carry-overs. Is it love, is it the desire for a certain lifestyle or is it a source of income? As Season 2's Desiry says, when she met Rodney ... "I hit the jackpot".

What adds a bit of spice to the relationships is that there's often an extra issue complicating things. For Desiry and Rodney (wealthy) ... there's the issue that she's refusing intimacy until they're married. For Kattie and Kevin (wealthy), he insists that that split all costs. For Nonie (wealthy) and Reese, his mother is trying to dissolve their relationship because Nonie is much older and can't have kids. Let the sparks fly.

To get a feel for the show, here's a rundown of the 6 couples followed through 10 episodes of season 1:

A 60 year old real estate developer and his 21 year old girlfriend.

A 36 year old publishing heir and his 25 year old yoga instructor girlfriend (who won't accept a prenup agreement)

A 37 year old mother of 4 whose dating her daughter's 23 year old male friend.

A 44 year old female real estate investor who's dating a 48 year old construction worker (who lives with his parents).

A 40 year old business owner who's dating a 22 year old he met on a sugar daddy website.

A 20 something eccentric entrepreneur / rapper who's dating a 30 something girl who's fearful she's wasting time as her biological clock ticks away.

If those kinds of matchups sound interesting ... you might enjoy watching the sparks fly in this series. While topic screams of shallowness and gold-digging, the direct and indirect power that money exerts in a relationship is real -- and you can see it played out in this show.

It's as pointless and superficial as any soapy relationship reality show ... so if that's your thing ... and the subject matter interests you, might consider checking it out.
