Clearly Channel 4 is hoping this new dating experiment will overshadow the BBC's hugely popular I Kissed a Girl, and it certainly sounds like a fascinating show that explores how social media and modern work have created an environment in which crushing loneliness is so widespread that people routinely seek solace through keyboards and touchscreens.

People like Jay, a politics and law student from Bridgewater, who's been infatuated with Veena, a content manager from Kochi, ever since they met on a Game of Thrones fantasy roleplay group in 2020. Jay is 17 and Veena is 26.

Social media manager Leah travels from Glasgow to Fargo, North Dakota, to meet project manager Chad, who at 48 is twice her age. They met through Seeking, a dating app exclusively for sugar daddies. Then there's Dumebi, a charity founder from London, and Mazi, a luxury car guy in Dubai, two vocations that don't sound like they should be compatible, but both involve making people part with their money.

They can leave whenever they want, or stay and immerse themselves in their other half's life. Read on as we explain how to watch The Nevermets from anywhere in the world.
