What's the Story?

MISS ADVISED is a reality series featuring three single relationship experts as they navigate the dating and relationship world. It stars outspoken San Francisco radio personality and sex expert Emily Morse, rule-oriented New York matchmaker Amy Laurent, and dating columnist Julia Allison, who has relocated from Chicago to Los Angeles to increase her husband-finding potential. As they share their own take on sex and dating with their listeners, readers, and clients, they each struggle to find the man of their own dreams. Sometimes they find themselves rejecting their own advice, but in the end, they each hope discover the path (and the person) that is right for them.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say: Not yet rated
Kids say: Not yet rated

The series offers a voyeuristic and sometimes humorous look at how these women, who are known experts in the world of relationships and sex, are navigating their way through the complex and stressful world of dating. It notes how these women have the same needs, hopes, and issues as any other person looking for a relationship. It also highlights some of the added pressures people place on them in the dating world because of their chosen careers.

Not surprisingly, the show contains its fair share of uncomfortable dating moments, as well as frank conversations about sexual acts and other mature subject matter that makes it a questionable viewing choice for younger viewers. Some folks may also be surprised by some of the dating approaches discussed here, particularly as it relates to monogamy and transgendered populations. But for those who like guilty pleasures, this one certainly fits the bill.
