This would be quite an interesting premise - if people really were marrying for good and all, and you saw them in their real lives. But since the marriages are even flimsier than a registry office 'Ming the Merciless' deal ('until such time as your majesty grows tired of her'), with the participants given the chance to opt out every week, it sadly only brings the institution into further disrepute.
But the biggest problem is that nothing happens. In Love Island the friction of living as a group - duly and judiciously aggravated by the show's producers - generally creates enough incident to keep things moving. In this show they don't actually do *anything*, so the only possibility is to keep nitpicking endlessly over every tiny little issue that disturbs their precious, entitled minds. It soon feels like living in a time loop. Having that bizarre panel of pseudo-experts watching on, nitpicking over the nitpicking, doesn't help - in fact without a voiceover like Iain Stirling's or Rob Beckett's to deflate some of the pomposity, it is hard to stomach.
As has become standard in this type of show, there's a massive double standard. Women can backbite, tell tales, stir it, poke their nose in, confront - that's all fine, in fact great (girl power!) and to criticise it is misogyny. But if the men do the same sort of thing there is an immediate furrowing of brows, followed by a hiss of disapproval, and if they persist - well, again, it's misogyny. Look forward to it becoming a hate crime folks! It's sad and actually a little disturbing to see the men, who mostly seem decent enough young lads, feeling they must invariably roll over and beg for the women who are mostly narcissistic, flaky and immature, and a million miles away from being ready to make a go of marriage.

I do find this programme entertaining in some ways however I also feel guilty that the producers quite obviously look for ways to maximise the level of human drama without any concern for the well-being of those participating in what is laughingly referred to as "the experiment". Obviously I'm fairly sure that many/most of the participants are looking for public exposure rather than/as well as, looking for a life partner but I'm often not comfortable with the producers who turn to scripted questions (ie the honesty box, etc) that are designed to cause maximum argument and in many cases result in personal hurt and pain. The so-called Psychologists really should look at their participation in this show, if they truly are the professionals that the show would have us believe they are. I sincerely hope that at a future point we don't read about a former participants illness or worse due to mental health issues. Surely there are limits to how we get our TV enjoyment and writing this review has actually made me reflect and realise that that it's not for me and I won't be watching any further.
Married at First Sight UK is a fascinating mix of social experiment, romance, and reality TV chaos. While the concept of strangers marrying sight unseen is undeniably wild, it makes for incredibly entertaining viewing. The show thrives on its mix of genuine connections, dramatic clashes, and expert interventions, keeping you hooked from start to finish.
There's a solid balance between heartfelt moments and explosive confrontations, making it both engaging and unpredictable. Some couples genuinely try to make things work, while others seem more drawn to the drama than the relationship, but that's part of what makes it so watchable. The format is well-paced, with commitment ceremonies and dinner parties adding to the intensity.
While it sometimes leans into reality TV tropes, MAFS UK remains an enjoyable watch for those who love relationship dynamics and a bit of guilty-pleasure drama. A solid 7/10 for its addictive nature and emotional highs and lows!

Reality TV shows can be fun to watch, but are the contestants taking part to gain TV exposure or to find a husband/wife? I'm not sure.
The participants do seem to be selected to benefit the show i.e. In the current series there are white couples, a black couple, a mixed race couple, a lesbian couple and even a disabled chap. So clearly selection is being made based on certain criteria, not just the best match. Although there are no age gap couples (>10 year difference).
In the current series the "experts" criticise two of the men (in front of everyone else) for not being attracted to the two overweight women they have been "matched" with.
A study of which physical aspects men and women most favour in a partner, found that for women height is most important and men it is body shape.
Western countries have a problem with obesity, yet this programme is trying to normalise it. Shows like this should be promoting healthy life styles not ridiculing men for a lack of attraction.

The first five series of this show was quite good. However, series six is more like Big Brother. With so-called experts, who have no psychology qualifications. In addition, contestants who act more like spoilt children, instead of adults.

- ट्रिवियाThe British version of the programme will return for a sixth series in 2021. However, there are major changes planned for series six. The show will switch from Channel 4 to Channel 4 Television's youth-orientated channel E4, series six will consist of 20-episodes rather than the much shorter broadcast runs of previous series and the format will change to copy the Australian version of the programme.
