Imagine this — you are browsing through Netflix trying to find a new show to watch, and you come across a reality TV show in your suggested show list. And what do you find? The new second season of “Love is Blind.”

If you are not aware of the show, “Love is Blind” is a reality TV show that takes place in Chicago, Illinois. It follows 15 guys and 15 girls living separately from each other. The purpose of the show is to see if it is possible to fall in love with someone without ever seeing what they look like. I found it really interesting seeing how a person can fall in love with someone in a short period of time without ever seeing what they look like.

The men and women date each other in these “pods,” which are little rooms separated by a wall. This is how they communicate with one another and get to know each other. As the days go on, closer bonds are formed, and if they believe they are ready to commit to each other, the guy takes a big step and is required to propose to the girl. Then, they reveal each other’s true identities when they meet in person.

What’s crazy about this is they have four weeks till they get married after being “engaged.” The first week after the experiment, they go on a trip to Mexico where they can get to know one another better and form a connection, not just their emotional connection that was made in the pods. In Mexico, the other 5 couples that matched are there as well and they are all able to spend time together.  The following week after, they move in with each other and learn how to live together, taking an even bigger step. Many couples on the show feel comfortable taking this step, but others despise it and need time to situate. If it were me, I wouldn’t feel comfortable being in that position because the relationship would be moving too quickly and it would get very awkward very quickly.  In the third week, they meet the friends and family of their fiancés, which also reveals a lot about the true identity of some of the partners and their backgrounds.

The final week is their wedding week, so they spend time buying dresses, tuxedos, inviting friends and family and in all, overthinking. They all understand that marriage is a very important thing a person’s life and it needs to be taken seriously. This is very superficial to me since it’s not possible that some of these couples had relationships in the past that lasted six-plus years, and now believe they can find a closer companion in the short time of 3-4 weeks. Are they really ready to fully commit to this big milestone in a person’s life? Finally, on their wedding day, they see if their experiment was truly successful, testing if their partner says yes or no to marriage.

Throughout the show, there is jealousy, breakdowns, heartbreaks and breakups. I personally love all the drama that occurs in the show because it makes me more excited to watch as new episodes comes out. Just like all shows, there are people that I strongly dislike and people that I love with my whole heart, even if they don’t know me. This season is full of surprises and you never know what to expect after each episode.

I would rate this season an 8/10 because of how the season ended. In the last episode, my favorite couple shocked me to the point where I still need time to wrap my head around what happened. I definitely recommend this show and more specifically this season to anyone who enjoys watching reality TV or is looking to watch something very interesting and exciting when they are bored at home.
