Season 1 Review: 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.

Season 2 Review: 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. Read full review

Season 3 Review: The show is as addictive as ever, once the show gets out of the pods and into the real world, and it will definitely spark plenty of conversations (and, more importantly, memes). But honestly, the most surprising thing about Love Is Blind Season 3 is that somehow this show figured out a way to weave complex relationship studies through all the drunken shenanigans we expect from Netflix reality shows.

Season 1 Review: In many ways, Love Is Blind is a Frankenstein monster sewn together from other reality dating TV shows, combining their most dramatic aspects while attempting to replicate the hum-drum reality of a couple’s every day in the weeks leading up to the big day. For fans of the genre, it’s a delicious romp with just enough twists to keep you guessing, just enough familiarity to keep you entertained. Read full review

Season 8 Review: We might be getting to the point where we may want a break from Love Is Blind. But, so far, Season 8 is interesting enough to keep watching, even if the first episode felt more generic than what we’ve seen during the past few seasons. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Once the proposals begin and the couples finally meet, the pod experiment evaporates, and Love is Blind becomes just another spin on the whole Married to My 90-day Fiancé at First Sight genre. ... To Netflix’s credit, LIB is an addictive reality show, but it’s also one that will leave you feeling worse than when you started. Call it a guilty displeasure. Read full review

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 looseI 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.… Expand

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.

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 engagedThe 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.… Expand

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 sucked into clickbait. 4.5 out of 10 - SM
