In a comedic sendup of dating shows like "The Bachelor," handsome firefighter Mark Orlando searches for love and a special woman who can "ignite his flames of lasting love." He's grilled on what he wants -- and doesn't want -- in a love interest as he dates 15 women at once, including a wealthy fashion buyer, a basketball coach, an octogenarian, and a district attorney -- whose favorite movie is "Fatal Attraction." After going through exploits that include stand-up comedy challenges, bubble-bath dates, and roller-skating outings, the contestants are winnowed until Orlando chooses his mate.

Darian Lusk Observer Burning Love is a grand celebration of dumb entertainment by a crack team of comics who were doing great things in the mid-aughts. May 28, 2020 Full Review Erik Adams AV Club Capturing the spirit and the filmmaking styles of The Bachelor and its ilk in less than nine minutes is only part of Burning Love's goals. It's quickly identifying what works about these characters that does the heaviest lifting, comedy-wise. May 28, 2020 Full Review Andrew Wallenstein Variety Sure, the "Bachelor" is a pretty moldy target for humor but "Burning" does so many other things right that it needs to be shouted about from a mountaintop. May 22, 2020 Full Review Bruce R. Miller Sioux City Journal Marino, who also directs, knows this formula oh-so-well. He has the crane shots down; he knows just how to make the audience smarter than the contestants... The series is easily one of the funniest things on the Internet May 28, 2020 Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media If you're not laughing at the many absurdities delivered by some of the funniest people alive, you must be either dead, or asleep.

Audience Member There's also a listing of this as a movie, which could actually be a real thing, because the way I watched this was an hour and fifty minute long cut of all the episodes together combined into one thing! Anyways, I know this came out before American Vandal, but that's set the standard now, and I also saw that it before this. This is probably funnier, but they make way too many stupid decisions. Not that they couldn't be funny on another viewing, or are even funny on the first viewing, but when you're first seeing them, you get a bit frustrated, because, like American Vandal, it surprisingly makes an interesting show that you care about! I'm not sure if I wanna see the next two seasons, especially with the way this one ended, and the next season not seeming to address it. But, it's definitely not awful. The direction is pretty great, the writing is fine, the characters are pretty much all outstanding (the ones you don't like are still really good, but you don't like them, so it doesn't sound seem like it!) The performances are all great though. There are also some great cameos! I'm a really huge Ken Marino fan, and I love him with Michael Ian Black, so if you're a big fan of either or both like me, then you'll probably be able to watch the whole thing without getting angry and shutting it off. (Not that I did that.) Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
