Love is Blind: Sverige

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 felt sick after watching this show. It seems that people only care about physical attraction. If they're not attracted to their partner, they just beat around the bush to stay on the show. Moreover, some participants who joined weren't even single. The conversations of those who aren't conventionally attractive are hardly ever shown. It's no surprise that Sweden has one of the highest single populations in the world. The show also reveals that people frequently yearn for the choice they didn't make, driven by the belief that the other person they liked might be more attractive. Everyone presents an idealized version of themselves in the pods, which turns out to be quite different from reality.

I didn't think this was that bad. The show is about proving if Love is Blind. It's an experiment. If all the people from this series that are married were not physically attracted to their partner when they first met, they wouldn't be with them. I don't think Love is blind. It feels like it for some of them because they are actually attracted to their partner.

At the end of the day, I was just happy to see quite a few couples getting married, staying together and being happy.

I tried watching the Japan one but it was just too slow for me. And the Brazil one was too chaotic for me. I thought this was a good pace.

As a Swede, it is interesting to see the comments about the looks on the people in the show. I think (and all I have spoken to) they are not at all cast for their looks, they look very average for Sweden, like 5/10. However, are we more looks and attraction focused than other nations, perhaps we are without me having understood it.

Sex is something that happens quick in a dating situation and perhaps that is why this part is profound early on also here in this show, without it working there getting married is not on the table.

I think the series is well constructed and exciting to see the twist and turns in each relationship.

"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.
