LoveIsBlind on Netflix: TV review
began its year with “The Circle,” an unscripted competition-reality series that was more interesting in theory — as an examination of the ways in which persona plays out online — than in practice. It’s following that up with “,” a dating show that reverses the equation. From an utterly banal premise about dating in the absence of visual cues, this series spins surprising human drama that’s more complicated than it might seem to have any right to be.
This goofiness — the pods, in which competitors convince themselves with made-for-TV speed that they’ve fallen in deep and passionate love; the positing of questions the show is in no position to actually answer — falls away after a few episodes. It certainly had its appeals.
Surely some amount of what happens, post-set-up, on “Love Is Blind” is produced: The woman anxious about her age gap, for instance, goes on a rant that she later realizes was the result of what she calls “over-drinking,” a classic way for reality-TV shows to ply subjects into creating moments of discomfort. But the viewer, mercifully, doesn’t feel tugged around.
