With a few more twists than "married at first sight", this netflix offering does ok showing couples meeting, getting engaged and then married.
the first third of the 1st season episodes have 8 singles moving into a dorm-like studio, with two rows of pods down the middle. they meet each other through these pods, only without the ability to see what the other person looks like. most of us would think this is too little to go on, but, the first 5 couples to get engaged meet in person and are then whisked off to a resort in mexico so they can get to know each other a bit more. this part also reveals the big issue i had in mind - what if more than one person likes a contestant and those people end up in different couples? might those feelings get carried over?
the 2nd part takes place at the resort (and one couple immediately leaves after he reveals a big secret) and allows a few cracks to show in the "experiment".
lastly, the couples (who are all from atlanta) move into apartments in the same complex for 3 weeks before their weddings. they meet skeptical family and friends and plan their wedding.
my favorite couple, barnett and amber, are probably the prettiest - he looks like a missing jonas brother).
cons - annoying music soundtrack
