The Mating Game

Season 1

This drama takes an intelligent, but humorous look at the tricky terrain of modern romance and familial relationships, all from a feminine perspective. Set in Johannesburg, the series features three women, Grace, Roxanne and Sara, who are looking for love in a time and place where nobodys quite sure whether the family model is monogamous or polygamous. Two of our three protagonists, all attractive, bright and independent women, have to make a choice between remaining single or trying to make things work with men who fail to deliver and are unwilling to get up to speed with feminism. The third is a lesbian, looking for a man to father her child.
