Love Is Blind: Sweden

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.

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.

After watching *Love is Blind: Sweden*, it's clear that the experiment didn't quite succeed in proving that love can transcend appearances. Unlike its predecessors, this version of the show seemed to emphasize just how much physical attraction still plays a role in modern dating, even when emotional connections are strong.

Having seen *Love is Blind* in Brazil, Mexico, the UK, Japan, and the U. S., I can confidently say that this is the worst one yet when it comes to superficiality. The number of couples who found themselves repelled by their partners upon meeting face-to-face was startling. The immediate distaste and inability to look beyond physical appearances were both disheartening and, frankly, grotesque. This installment of *Love is Blind* highlighted how difficult it is for some individuals to move past superficial judgments, despite having formed deep emotional bonds in the pods.

It was especially heartbreaking to watch those who were genuinely invested in the experiment and ready to love unconditionally, only to be met with superficial and judgmental partners who seemed to prove that, at least in Sweden, love might not be as blind as we hoped.

Overall, this series fell short of the show's intended premise, leaving viewers with a bitter taste and a reminder that the power of looks still reigns supreme for many. In the end, *Love is Blind: Sweden* may have done more to reinforce stereotypes than to break them, making it a disappointing chapter in an otherwise intriguing franchise.
