D Don’t Date: A Web Series About Dating Done Wrong

From ddontdate.com

D Don’t Date is a new-ish web series about ‘dating done wrong’. Which I, personally, might have titled ‘dating as done by half the population’ – but you get the point. Rom-Com’s where Kate Hudson ends up falling in love with the bad boy who then buys her all of Disney World does make for a cute movie. But as far as an indication of reality? Yea, it epically fails in that vein.

And while it might be nice to placate your romantic needs by pretending that you, too, could have a boyfriend as hot as Josh Hartnett and as sensitive as Josh Groban – it’s also nice to laugh and relate to the reality that is dating. It’s messy and weird, people lie, and sometimes the most action you get is from your creepy neighbor.

That’s what it’s like for D, who has a stunningly ordinary life. She doesn’t slay vampires, or fall in love with vampires, or even become a vampire. Really. So, why should you watch?

1. The title character is portrayed by an actress (Rosie Tisch) that is endlessly watchable, talented at making comedy work, reminds me of Sarah Chalke, and has awesome hair. (Why can’t I pull off a beehive-esque hairdo without looking like a loon? That’s just one more thing to put on my ‘why life is unfair’ list.)

2. The writing is witty and fresh. As someone who, er, writes – I can appreciate this. You do appreciate it too, even if you don’t realize it. When a movie or TV show has sub par writing, even a stellar cast can’t make it work. Much love to writer/creator/director (I believe that is called a triple threat!) Dayna McTavish.

3. You have nothing better to do because your lovelife ain’t so hot, either!
