Love on The Spectrum
Love On The Spectrum is the perfect way to experience heartfelt love among the Neurodivergent community. The two seasons are so insightful and heart-warming that it’s won Emmy awards!
Following people on the autism spectrum as they navigate the world of dating and relationships, we see hilarious moments like Connor ticking ‘no’ in front of his date, to Tanner being the ultimate gentleman.
Love is Blind
A whole new line-up of singletons are getting ready to date through a wall. Sound weird? Well, it’s certainly original! Cast members communicate via pods, taking away the physical impact of dating.
Once a star proposes, they get to meet in person before going on their honeymoon, and getting to know the stranger properly. Sometimes, it’s a beautiful love story, but drama often unfolds at this stage.
The Ultimatum
One of the most wild experiments on Netflix is The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On. Couples put their relationship to the ultimate test, despite being together for years, because one wants to tie the knot.
The other half of the relationship is unsure of marriage, and feels the need to live with a stranger for weeks to see if they find a better romantic connection. By the end, they have to make their decision.
There’s also a spin-off, The Ultimatum: Queer Love, where gay relationships do the exact same. Season 1 is currently out on Netflix, while another spin-off, The Ultimatum: France has two seasons on the platform.
Too Hot to Handle
If you’re feeling in the mood, this is the ultimate series for you. Contestants have no idea they’re on a dating show which absolutely forbids any form of intimacy – even a smooch!
With a huge cash prize on the line, a little machine called Luna watches every move they make, and if the Too Hot To Handle cast go against the no touching rules, they lose thousands from the prize pot.
Perfect Match
Imagine all of your favorite Netflix dating shows had a baby, and you get Perfect Match. Through a series of compatibility challenges and matchups, Nick Lachey takes hopefuls on a matchmaking journey.
He brings together singles from other reality shows, including Love is Blind, The Mole, Too Hot to Handle, and other series. Some cast members, like Kariselle and Joey, have dated before.
Indian Matchmaking
Matchmaker Sima Taparia strives to help single people find their perfect matches on Indian Matchmaking. She guides clients across London, the US and India as they navigate the arranged marriage process.
With an expert helping them along the way, it’s not like Love is Blind or Single’s Inferno, where the contestants are left to do most of the work on their own. We even get to see their beautiful weddings!
Single’s Inferno
Think Love Island, but imagine having to prove your connection before getting to move into the luxury villa with them. Several stars have their heads turned by bombshells, too!
They’re all stranded on an ‘inferno’ at first, but by the end, each have their choice of who to go home with. There’s many successful love stories who have stayed together after filming.
