Jess here, back with a new Jess's Take. Has it been over 2 years already since the last Jess's Take?
Anyway, I'm back this time with an observation I recently saw on Netflix. Reality TV is ruling the roost.
Love is Blind
Going into its eighth season, Love is Blind follows equal numbers of men and women who hope to find love. For ten days, they are in pods where they talk to each other on speaker. They then go to a speed dating event, and the daters extend a marriage proposal when ready. Then, the engaged couples go on a couples retreat. Subsequently, they move into apartments and plan weddings, all of which take place within a month.
The premise sounds very similar to Married at First Sight, except for the dating part. I also see similarities with The Bachelor franchise. Love is Blind makes me mourn for the days when scripted television ruled the roost with Orange is the New Black.
Selling Sunset
Again, what's with all these reality shows and their mountains of spinoffs? So this show revolves around the Oppenheim Group and a group of real estate agents, similar to the Real Housewives franchise and Vanderpump Rules.
It was quietly renewed for a ninth season on Netflix.
Anyway, reality TV is ruling the roost on Netflix.
