Date My Family: Kenya S1-2
Would you let your family go on a date for you to help you land a boyfriend or a girlfriend? For some of us, that’s a hard no, but desperate times call for desperate measures. That’s why when it comes to finding love, all hands are on deck in Date My Family: Kenya, from Maisha Magic Plus, now streaming on Showmax.
Adapted from the South African format, Date My Family: Kenya follows different single people around Nairobi as they attempt to find love by meeting the friends and families of three potential dates, after which they get to pick a date based on whether they were impressed by the family or not.
I mean, how embarrassing can your friends and family be? Turns out, you don’t want your family or friends speaking to your potential boyfriend or girlfriend before you meet them. It can get awkward really fast, like friends of the potential date digging for more details on why you broke up with your previous partner or if you have an active sex life.
There are a lot of moments when you’ll want to smack a family member in the head and tell them to shut up. But then again, who said this finding the one and dating thing is easy?
Date My Family is produced by Trued Pictures Visual Solutions, the production team that has produced music videos for some big names in the music industry in Kenya like Size 8, Wahu, Timmy TDat, Nameless and more.
New episodes land on Showmax weekly after they air on Maisha Magic Plus.
