Our Review
Episode 2 of “The Single Life” is another enjoyable look at the adventures of singles Kip and Lisa. Unfortunately, the episode suffers from one major problem – it’s way too rushed. We went from Kip and Lisa finding each others profile at the end of episode 1 to them meeting at the end of episode 2. It even “fast forwards” to the first kiss! Sadly, the series rushed through what could have been a couple of great episodes of building anticipation to that first meeting. The process of online dating doesn’t stop when you see a person’s profile that you like. That’s when the process gets really intriguing. “The Single Life” missed the opportunity to really capitalize on that, choosing instead to “rush” the whole process in order to get to the meeting. For that reason, we docked two stars in our rating of this episode.
Like with the first episode, The Single Life had some interesting online dating factoid “pop-ups” to go with the story. The most interesting factoid was, “Women are afraid of meeting a serial killer online while men are afraid of meeting someone ‘fat’.” It’s amazing how different the minds of men and women work!

The Single Life continues to be a fun series, but because it seems to be rushing, we give this particular episode 3 out of 5 stars.
