      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Alex Michel may be a handsome stag, but the series premiere of the The Bachelor is dull, trashy, and thoroughly bewildering.

      Hal Boedeker Orlando Sentinel Just when you think they can't get any more desperate at ABC, they find a way to look even more clueless. Sep 6, 2019 Full Review Belinda Acosta Austin Chronicle I believe much of my sneering at the show came from knowing they were being schmucks for love, and on prime time television. Sep 6, 2019 Full Review Linda Stasi New York Post You are a show so ill-conceived and so demeaning to women that you make Howard Stern look like a feminist. Sep 6, 2019 Full Review John Levesque Seattle Post-Intelligencer [The Bachelor] is actually tame, but still detestable. Sep 6, 2019 Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Like so many of these relationship reality shows, The Bachelor is cheesy and the whiff of desperation wafting off the contestants is strong Sep 6, 2019 Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media Beneath the show's shiny veneers are problematic messages about gender roles, dating, relationships, and marriage. Rated: 2/5 Sep 6, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
