Critic Reviews

The show itself is lazily produced, with no host or prize set up to guide viewers along. ... But the twist still lends itself to a thoroughly entertaining piece of reality television for folks who like to cringe. ... It’s not as wonderfully cheesy as FBoy Island or Love is Blind, but the premise is jaw-dropping enough to tune in for at least one episode.

Appalling.

MILF Manor is cringe TV at its worst, and the cringe factor isn’t balanced by a cast with any remotely interesting personalities.

MILF Manor asks the viewer to derive titillation from this psychological torture, and you may not have the stomach for it. ... TLC is following a compulsive progression toward the illicit and unforgivable.

Might be a new low for reality TV, perhaps even a rock bottom. ... “MILF Manor” is not just a May-December dating show but a May-December dating show haunted by the spectre of incest. This is certainly a disturbing choice in and of itself, but even worse is how coyly the show plays with its own gross premise. ... Though I watched until the bitter end, I could sympathize with a friend who told me, “I felt so ashamed I was watching that I turned it off after thirty minutes.”
