Love Is Blind: Suède

"Love Is Blind: Sweden" offers a refreshingly raw and authentic take on the social experiment, making it one of the more realistic adaptations of the franchise. Unlike its counterparts, where emotions sometimes feel scripted, the Swedish version embraces genuine awkwardness, vulnerability, and cultural nuances that make the journey feel closer to reality. While the personalities often lean toward the superficial, the way contestants express themselves-unfiltered, hesitant, and deeply introspective-adds a level of authenticity rarely seen in reality shows. It's an engaging watch that captures the highs and lows of blind dating with a sincerity that resonates.

As a Swede, I start to ask the question: do you need to be married to love each other? Or is this another American reality show that sets the standards for what love is?

If you haven't seen 'Love Is Blind,' well, you haven't missed anything except for all the drama. The concept is very interesting, but the show is really focused on contestants getting married, and it bothers me because it's very 'osvenskt.'

Something I find bothersome is letting the participants be handed over by their mother or father. The concept originates from an old tradition where women were considered minors and had a guardian. Therefore, it's a concept that is very old and un-Swedish.

I hate how 90% of the cast is absolutely physically gorgeous! Even like that, they are complaining all the time that they aren't attracted to their partners! What's wrong with this people? I wish I was 1% beautiful as any of them are!

I loved every "Love is Blind" show at first seasons, but now it's getting boring, but I'm still watching, because I'm curious about other people nations than mine (Brazil) getting into relationship and see how they deal with it all!

The Colombian guy is crazy, totally scared me! Gurls run away from him or any similar man! Cringe af, confuse, arrogant, weird and manipulative!

As a Love Is Blind enthusiast, I've watched every version available on Netflix - and after seeing the Swedish edition (season 1 and 2), this one is by far my favorite. While other versions are entertaining, the Swedish cast felt refreshingly real. They weren't afraid to be vulnerable or show their true selves, which made it easy to connect with them as a viewer.

I'm usually not a big fan of the whole "marriage at the end" concept, but watching so many couples genuinely say yes was honestly heartwarming. It really showed they were there for love-not for the cameras.

I don't understand the negative comments I've read here. Every version has its challenges, but at least these couples didn't give up. Most of them worked through it and managed to match the emotional connection from the pods with real-life chemistry.

I would rate a zero if I could. Netflix announced they would release the Reunion episode today and they didn't. We are paying for a service that didn't deliver. This is the second time because Netflix also crashed in April 2023 when airing the Love is blind reunion (American version). The network also started to post 4 episodes per week instead of releasing them all at once. It starts to become a problem. Netflix gained 88 million new subscriptions in 2023 but unfortunately they didn't use a small amount of their profit to improve their service. Money greed network.

About the show, it's nothing compared to Love is blind Japan where contestants where emotionally well developed and focusing on things that matter to built a long lasting marriage. This was superficial and flat.

I would not recommend this version of the show (Love is blind Sweden) and I definitely don't recommend Netflix! They have increased their subscription rates and blocked account sharing and now they're not able to stream according their OWN planning.
