Michelle Obama shares dating 'hot takes'

In conjunction with the series' release, a series of videos called, "Michelle Obama's Hot Takes on Dating and Relationships" have been shared on social media.

In one video, Obama analyzes a clip of Pam and her daughter talking about one of Pam's dates. In the clip, Pam's daughter encourages her mom to reach out to the man, rather than waiting for him to reach out first.

Internet critiques 'The Later Daters' series participants

It wouldn't be a reality dating television show if social media users didn't pick the participants apart.

One of the most viral clip from the series depicts contestant Greg talking about why he doesn't date in Atlanta, Georgia.

"The big deal, if you want me to be real honest..is Metro Atlantic traffic," Greg tells Ury.

In response, Ury asks, "You haven't been married in 12 years. You're looking for someone to spend the rest of your life with. Are you really going to let metro traffic get in the way of finding love?"

Greg's response? "I will."

But not all the online comments are about the men in the series.

In a video posted by TikTok user Darsha Lesley, the user talks about participant Pam, who is featured in several other videos for her wild, unpredictable nature.

"I don't know if you all are watching this Later Daters on Netflix, but my gosh...Pam. She is something else," Lesley said in her video, showcasing a clip of Pam eating a piece of sushi directly off her date's chopstick.
