Netflix’s Love Is Blind is the reality TV show you need to watch this weekend

Netflix's Love Is Blind is the reality TV show you need to watch this weekend.

Or just in general, really, since we've only got a little more than a week left of Love Island - because we don't know about you, but we're definitely going to need a new reality TV addiction. And having binge-watched the first few episodes, this is ticking all the boxes for us. Hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey, the 10-episode series explores whether looks or age really matter in relationships - or, as the title of the series would suggest, if love is blind. Basically, it follows a group of singletons who want to be loved who they are instead of who they look like. So, they sign up for a bit of an unconventional approach to modern dating: they're hoping to meet the person they want to spend the rest of their lives with...without ever having seen them. With no distractions from the outside world, the singles take to the pods to talk to a stream of potential love interests and when a meaningful connection is made, they propose and then lay their eyes on their fiancé  (or fiancée) for the first time. Engaged and back in the real world, as the couples plan their wedding day, they will quickly discover whether they can turn their emotional connection into a physical one before the fast-approaching ceremony. The first five episodes of Love Is Blind have landed on Netflix, with the next four set to land on February 20 - and the finale dropping one week later, on February 27.  And while the first few episodes only landed on Netflix on Thursday, fans have been loving it so far.
