Love Is Blind Season 2

Best paired with overpriced wine, rowdy friends, and many, many pillows to scream into

Built on the perceived superficialities of dating in the modern world, “Love Is Blind” Season 2 seeks to see if people can fall in love “sight unseen.” With no physical or digital communication with one another, all contestants must communicate with one another through the blue walls which connect their respective rooms to one another. If they fall in love through this bizarre communication, contestants are encouraged to propose, after which they will see each other in person for the first time. It isn’t hard to see why the beginning is the most engaging part of the show; contestants are idyllic, hopeful, and dreamy, with not a care in the world other than finding their true loves.

If you think “Love Is Blind” moves a little too fast, you would be exactly correct. After the engagement, couples begin to live together for about a month and tie it all off with their planned wedding. Due to this fast-tracked pace, relationships become messy from the start: love triangles and regret make themselves known. They are later chased with disillusionment and dissatisfaction when met with the challenges of living together in the real world, meeting family, and encountering negative personality traits for the first time. 

If you think that “Love Is Blind” would make for some entertaining television, you’d be exactly correct. Viewers can expect to see contestants navigate through a sea of red flags, manipulation, and gas-lighting galore. I had a great time watching, screaming, and ripping my hair out to this Netflix original, and I think you would too.
