Dates was a British TV series that premiered on The CW in 2013. The show follows a series of first dates between various pairs of people, and each episode focuses on a different couple. The cast includes familiar faces such as Andrew Scott, Ben Chaplin, Gemma Chan, Katie McGrath, and Oona Chaplin, among others. The show was created by Bryan Elsley, who previously created the hit series Skins.

The show is set in London and features a diverse cast of characters with different backgrounds, personalities, and aspirations. In each episode, we get a glimpse into the lives of two people who are brought together by chance or through a dating app. Some of the characters are looking for love, while others are just looking for a good time. Regardless of their motivations, each date is unique and full of surprises.

One of the standout performances in the show comes from Andrew Scott, who plays Christian, a charming and slightly enigmatic man who goes on a date with a woman named Katy, played by Katie McGrath. While Christian seems like the perfect gentleman at first, Katy soon realizes that there might be more to him than meets the eye. Scott's performance is nuanced and captivating, making Christian a memorable character.

Another standout episode features Gemma Chan as Erica, a woman who goes on a date with David, played by Will Mellor. Erica is a successful businesswoman who is used to getting what she wants, but when she meets David, a down-to-earth plumber, she realizes that she might have more in common with him than she expected. Chan's performance is subtle and authentic, making Erica a relatable and believable character.

Other memorable episodes include Ben Chaplin as Stephen, a lonely man who goes on a date with Heidi, played by Sian Breckin, and Oona Chaplin as Mia, a woman who goes on a date with Nick, played by Neil Maskell. Both episodes explore themes of loneliness, vulnerability, and the search for connection, making them some of the most poignant and emotional episodes of the series.

Overall, Dates is a well-crafted and engaging series that offers a fresh take on the dating genre. The show is beautifully shot and features a talented cast of actors who bring their characters to life with authenticity and depth. While some episodes are more successful than others, the series as a whole is a compelling and entertaining exploration of the ups and downs of modern dating.
