I started watching Netflix’s “Love Is Blind” and didn’t stop until I’d finished all 10 hours of it. I’m trying to recall when I watched a set of preview screeners with the same degree of rapt desire and attention, all the way to the bitter end. (Actually, it was “Cheer,” come to think of it.) On its face, “Love Is Blind” (the first five episodes of which are now streaming) is neither wildly original nor exceptionally good, and yet I am desperate for you to watch it, so that we can yell about it.
Love Is Blind Season 2 reveals what the show really is, what the producers want to focus on and what kind of applicants they want to cast. The result is a show that is a bit more structured but infinitely more chaotic — and yet somehow still uncomfortably genuine.

I am giving Love is Blind a 10 not because it is good or worthwhile or even thought-provoking. It is simply entertaining to watch the outcome of producers plying lonely people with alcohol and marriage hopes (and basically a sex vacation with an attractive stranger) and setting them loose on each other. Its also hilarious to watch the hosts, Nick and Vannesa, come out every few episodes to robotically remind us of what we are watching.

The show itself is okay my rate goes to the message. I think that what it actually reveals is how desperate for attention the human being is. We live in such a fast paced life that we have become shallow so the new dating has to be blind to kinda slow us down talking. People then get involved in a matter of days lmao because is the first time they actually make a connection but is not real, is just part of that desperation. Wow what an eye opener.

At its best, Love Is Blind is just as bizarre and addictive as its producers clearly intended it to be—but after a while, that delightful strangeness gives way to something more conventional.
Entire relationships form and collapse at a staggering rate. The programme-makers throw spanner after spanner into the works. The spectacle is undeniable. It is hard to look away. ... But am I proud of myself for it? I’m not so sure.
The characters read as real, flawed but mostly sympathetic people, rather than the glossy archetypes of The Bachelor, the glittery soap-opera improvisers of the Real Housewives franchise or the ubiquitous thinly disguised actors hoping to use reality TV as springboard to fame. That authenticity makes the stories on Love Is Blind more absorbing for those of us who’ve been bored of reality caricatures for upwards of a decade. Yet it also heightens the cruelty.
There’s an amazing tonal volatility to “Love Is Blind.” Slabs of crass exploitation abut moments of deep sentiment. There are touching scenes of human vulnerability and harrowing sequences of people lying to themselves at length. Vast idiocies of human behavior provoke moments of thoughtful reflection. The warped glass of the show magnifies universal quirks of human behavior into light comic grotesques.
Love Is Blind is absurd, revolting, endearing, toxic and wholesome by turns – and addictive as hell throughout.
The conceit of "Love is Blind" is intriguing enough. A group of singles are asked to choose their potential spouse after speaking with him or her inside pods where they can't see the other person. Being unable to see how the other person looks, one has to decide if they wish to get engaged without regard to external qualities such as height, race, physique, or general appearance. Instead, the participants are forced to look beyond those qualities and focus on what's inside. Surprisingly, the men come across as the more serious regarding their supercharged romances as a group than do the women. Initially at least, the men become even more attracted to the women after seeing them in person. On the other hand, some women clearly appear to turn more guarded and/or luke warm regarding their partners once they see them in person. Like many of these relationship shows, you always get the sense that the narrative of each relationship is skewed for dramatic impact. Differences are highlighted over similarities. Dysfunction is emphasized over healthy communication. Unlike many shows of this type, their seems to be a greater emphasis on telling the truth about these couples than trying to manipulate the audience just for the sake of manipulation. As a result, the outcomes are a bit more predictable, but seem logical. You will root for some participants and be annoyed by others. Overall, for fans of this type of show, you'll find much to sustain interest. If you can get past the second episode, you'll find yourself compelled to complete the season to see which couples decide to get married or end the relationship.

Love is Blind (2020) is that show where you watch even though you don't like it. Nothing is shocking and the premise is flawed. The gimmick wears off quickly and you realize that you've been **** into clickbait. 4.5 out of 10 - SM
