Love Is Blind: Mexico
Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
Hosted by Lucy and Omar Chaparro, LOVE IS BLIND: MEXICO features Mexican men and women going on a series of dates in individual "pods" where they can hear, but not see, each other. Only those who get engaged will meet, and are immediately swept up on romantic luxury vacations -- only to return home and try to find a way to interlace their daily lives. Meanwhile, they're planning weddings where, ultimately, not all participants may end up saying "I do."
Is It Any Good?
Watching people decide on how to find their love match is one of the most interesting aspects of this series, which shows cultural nuances distinct from other iterations of the franchise. As in Love Is Blind and Love Is Blind: Japan, this version offers an undeniable thrill in speculating which couples will thrive and which will crumble. The high-stakes moment when Love Is Blind: Mexico couples meet for the first time post-engagement is rife with drama and awkwardness, making for compelling television. However, also as with most reality dating shows, interactions lack authenticity, and the whirlwind romances often strain credibility.
