The Nevermets Channel 4

[80smercedes]

Anyone else watching? I'm genuinely not sure what I think about what I've just watched 🤷🏻‍♀️ Would love to chew it over with others

Gripping TV! Veena is very likeable but why she thought it was ok to pursue romance with a boy so young defies my understanding.
Sarah put herself in a potentially very risky situation, travelling abroad and staying in the house of a man she has not met before.
When is the next episode?

The lad lied about his age when they met online. He told her he was 17. She should've stopped all contact tho as soon as he revealed his true age. Really 🤢 🤮

He told her he was 19! I don’t know how she moved past that.

He said that after it had come out about his age and they stopped their relationship, she was messaging him saying she missed him.

I think this is the point where it gets icky. She was the innocent party until she knew his real age. From that point on, it's totally inappropriate.

I've watched episode 1 and everything seems to be waving giant red flags. Surely the teenager's parents couldn't have known what they were letting him in for given he keeps lying about her. He shouldn't be being pressured to marry at 17 by a much older woman. I really feel sorry for him. He seems like a nice lad. Really irresponsible of channel 4.

Surely the teenager's parents couldn't have known what they were letting him in for given he keeps lying about her.

Yes, I don't think they'd have waved him off so cheerfully if they'd known what he was heading off too i.e. being dressed up as if he was an Indian bridegroom and then pressured non-stop by her/her family to set a date for their wedding! I'd love to know at what point Jay's parents got to see the programme - was it before it was broadcast, or did they see if this week, along with the viewing public? I'd love it if his DM came on here and told us.

They both lied and said they were 19. No way to start a friendship let alone a relationship. I can’t quite believe that she found out he was 15 but went back to him and started up this relationship, nor that she thinks putting so much pressure on him is appropriate. They’re not in the same book let alone the same page.

And I’m speaking as someone who met my husband online when he was 18 and 700 miles away, so have kind of been in this position. We were both honest about our ages and situation, and were friends only until we had properly got to know each other in reality (and even so I know it’s a very weird situation that it took me a while to be ok with).

Loving this show, v similar vibes to 90 day fiance.

When they ordered McDs for the 17 year old English lad in India, that was hilarious! I'd kill for some authentic, home made South Indian food.

Dubai guy has to be faking it, I reckon he's cash strapped and hoping she's his golden ticket.

I think I too would have been looking for a hotel after the pineapple talk. If not trying to get an earlier flight.

It was unnecessary and disrespectful giggling away like little boys when she was in their company.

I’m sure Jgoy has a good heart but I couldn’t be doing with the childishness and the presumptuous chat. You couldn’t edit that to make it pretty if you tried.

Sadly, like so many reality programmes that could be so interesting and engaging, they have gone all out for the drama yet again and are spoiling it.

The problem is that by its nature the show has allowed them to meet. Sarah would never have had the money to meet that guy in the Philippines and he clearly doesn't have any money either. That keeps her safe from him.

In the same way the young boy would never meet the Indian girl because neither of them would be travelling to visit each other. I don't think he even shaves does he? I can't understand how his family have allowed him to go out there. What is the best possible outcome for him? She wants to get married. He has just finished his AS levels. It didn't seem as though he'd even had a Saturday job.

I wonder whether the camera crew stays with them the whole time.

I hope Sarah is okay

I'm just watching episode two and I'm really shocked that Sarah is in the car saying that the guy keeps touching her and she doesn't really want him to and then they show a clip of the guy closing the bedroom door against the camera. What the hell was the cameraman doing letting that happen when she clearly didn't want it to?

Oh gosh jgoy what a creep. Imagine how she must have beenbferling. Thinking she allowed him to see her in the shower, who knows if he recorded that! Ugh so creepy and unsafe.

I feel the desperation though. Trying to find decent single straight men is very challenging.

As for the kid and the woman ...they clearly really like each other, but it's just to much and he's a child!
And the Dubai guy wtf, why is she still sat there an hour after they were supposed to meet, and for the second time! Wtf!

These scummy dudes. Gross

I finished episode 2 today. I can't wait to watch episode 3.
Me and my husband was in a LDR for almost a year before we got married.
We met each other online when I was in the UK and then I had to go back to Hong Kong to work. He flew out and proposed and we got married 11 months later in Hong Kong during Covid.

I do find the 17 year old and 26 year old relationship very weird. However, I do understand the pressures of her family trying to push her to get married. But he is 17 years old, far too young and his first relationship as well. I think he will be put off as the episodes go on.

I was hoping for better. I was approached to do this show on a LDR forum. Thankfully I had enough sense to say no. My OH and I have met twice and things are going great. I do see many very naive, vulnerable people on LDR forums who have this fantasy idea of what relationships should be.

I was hoping the show would cover all the common pitfalls of this type of relationship, as well as showing some genuine connections and real struggles.

As always, it's just car crash TV.

Eek just watching the second episode and feel so awkward for Sarah! She is clearly very lacking in self esteem and I feel like Jgoy just wants sex and a visa. I can't imagine what the night times must be like in that sweaty bedroom...

What do you mean fake footage?

I didn't reasie it was one episode ahead on the app.
I settled down at 10pm and it was one I had already seen. So have now watched episode 3 on the app.

Have only watched the second one, but the whole thing is red flag central.
The 17 year old - just no. As a parent that would never happen on my watch. Veena also seems young for her age but still…her family just want a match.

You can see these people are vulnerable - even Dubemi, she’s very attractive but desperate for marriage - her mum wants her married off but 25 is no age. It was obvious her guy was v dodgy!

My DCs had online friends but thankfully no relationships, we hosted one of DD’s friends for a night - they were 16 I think - with no ‘checking in’ from the parent where she was coming to. I would’ve not let dd go abroad to see a friend without at least seeing the friend online if not the parent!!
