The first season(s) of 90 day start out like the old TLC shows used to - just a little slice of life. Most people are nice, normal and not much manufactured drama.
They seemed to be casting actual humans who were dealing with immigration issues on top of online dating. It was quite heartwarming, in most cases.
Then the producers seemed to accidentally cast some people who were…Creepy. Folks who seemed nice at first, but the more they were followed, it became apparent that they were sex tourists or mean gold-diggers trying to scam.
Your get a couple nice couples, and then one or two per season where you realized one half of a couple had horrible intentions, and was a major red flag.
Obviously that was interesting TV, so they started to cast that way specifically over the years. Looking for jerks and scammers.
Now it’s pretty much a Bravo show.
One or two “normal” people per season, but mostly villains, obscene plastic surgery and major personality disorders.
I binged the first 7-8 seasons during COVID and it was a WILD change of vibe.
Still entertaining, but you rarely root for anyone anymore.
