Love Trip: Paris
Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
In LOVE TRIP: PARIS, four young Americans move into a posh penthouse in search of romance. Also in the building: a revolving door of French suitors competing for their affections. In each episode, personal trainer Caroline, realtor Rose, podcaster Lacy, and model Josielyn go on glamorous dates throughout Paris with their downstairs neighbors. The suitors who fail to capture their hearts are sent home — making room for new ones to move in. Will any of the Americans make a lasting love connection with the crew from Paris?
Is It Any Good?
With a diverse cast and meaningful connections, this dating show goes deeper than most reality TV dares to. Love Trip: Paris has a familiar formula, where castmates who don't make the cut get "evicted" à la The Bachelor. And yes, there's some jealousy, petty drama, and lots of hooking up. But the show's unusually queer-inclusive cast opens the door to thoughtful discussions about identity, challenges stereotypes about gender and sexuality, and encourages true emotional vulnerability. Plus, most of the castmates are genuinely likable, so it's easy to root for them to find real romance in the City of Love.

What does it take to make a relationship work? Why is communication so important? How do these daters demonstrate good (or not-so-good) communication skills?
Families can talk about LGBTQ+ representation on TV and how it's changed through history.
