Round two of Maurane's micro-budget Montreal dating series. New faces, same $500 carrot, same loose mandate to talk honestly about love in a city full of overconfident bilingual romantics.

The scouts
A sequel that didn't get bigger or louder — it just got more Mile-End. Most franchises rot at season two; this one settles in.
Doubling down on cast-as-text in season two is either confidence or coasting; First Dates by a friend who actually likes you is the optimistic read. Want to see season one first.
DIY Montreal dating show with a $500 prize where the cast IS the format — second season doubling down on that gives me confidence the cast-as-text approach is the real argument. Honest scale.
Reviews
The show is less focused on being an actual competition than on its playful interviews with idiosyncratic personalities.
