Full Disclosure: In brief, this is a reality TV show designed to cause maximum drama, all under the guise of testing the strength of four couples' relationships.
If you're into drama just for the sake of drama, then you'll love this show. However, unlike what's become of the Bachelor and so many other reality TV shows where it's a shameless attention grab for half the people participating, everyone on this show seems to be searching to find something out either about themselves or about their relationship. The contrast between those who succeed in doing this and who fail is what provides the intrigue to this show. The people who are giving this show bad reviews are clearly not seeing the forest for the trees; obviously the show isn't designed to build healthy relationships. The show has never professed to wanting that. The host of the show sometimes seems to be actively trying to create doubt if nothing else. But if you watch this season from start to finish, you'll see things that will make you sick to your stomach, right alongside things that will restore your faith in humanity. I'm gonna knock two stars off because the push for drama by the producers can become obvious sometimes, but it's an otherwise entertaining, very well edited show.
