Just plain : the overall show felt totally empty

I'm disappointed by this 4th season of Single's Inferno. Compared to previous season, the novelty factor is not there anymore and the storylines lack excitement and romance. The paradise dates felt even worse than before and except for one or two fun challenges, the overall season felt very empty and plain. There was no suspense, with an ultra-predictable ending with unfortunately no couple I was rooting for, except one that I found very cute. Some couples formed felt very fake, almost like choosing each other by default, to not finish the show alone...

The panel is the saving grace of the show. I honestly wanted to see more of their reaction as they were filling the void despite the lackluster and uneventful season. The cast might be lacking some variety, except one or two people, it seems that it is mostly become a show for public appearance and building some influence rather than sincere try at romance. The wild cards were not exciting enough to the point that I am truly thinking that there is no use to have extra people coming into the adventure.

In terms of production value, I think that Inferno is much nicer than Paradise. The dates in the city hotels are really an error : they hold nothing compared to the charm of the island and I don't see the point of being in closed doors at a bar for a "reward" rather than on a beach watching the sunset...They really need to work on this aspect and to make dates in paradise really heavenly and swoony, and their stays in Inferno really be hell !!! The long make-up session and change of clothes in Inferno make no sense...The cast need to have more challenging time on Inferno, in order to bond and to make the fact of going in Paradise much nicer.

I would not recommend this season to people as it was really lackluster. The best cast member had little screen time overall and most of the romances lacked sincerity. I'm not saying that participants should only have pure intention and cannot be there for clout...But there should be at least some sincere romance (with sufficient screentime) for me to really get onboard. Here, at the end, only one couple convinced me and I wish the show would have been even more focus on them. I still will watch a 5th season because it is nice to be able to watch that kind of show when airing to discuss it with people. With the panel comments, that honestly became the best part of the watching experience.
