The show tackles a subject in the lives of many French people, according to figures put forward by Florence Duhayot.

"In France, 1 in 3 people is registered on a dating application and 8 million French people exchange there with another person in love terms," ​​explains the producer.

It is the first time that television will show the first meeting between two people who discuss in a romantic mode without ever having seen each other in real life.

Discomfort and too advantageous photos

But, as in real life, these "dates" organized by M6 will reveal some surprises, sometimes good, and sometimes less.

"When you communicate on social networks with someone, even if you have the impression to know him, it is a fantasy", recalls Florence Duhayot.

Thus, some candidates of the show will kiss full on the mouth from their first meeting.

For others, the reality will turn out to be more disappointing than they had imagined.
