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.
Might as well be wife swap. People disrespect the "experiment" and "experts" and get rewarded for it! People get humiliated by partners cheating, but the cheating partner gets another opportunity all cox they say its for love. Absolutely awful. Doesn't restore any justice for the victim from peoples abusive and manipulative behaviour, but instead encourages it. Feel so disappointed and hurt by how they handle cheating and spiteful people who couldn't care less about the experience, only want to be on it for the fame. Seems to be no sort of protection from gaslighting, abuse, and overall toxic relationships, just because its "good TV"
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!

One of rare occasions that reveals, from many aspects "what's wrong with the world". Ever wondered how low producers can go? Ever wondered what a quack.impersonating a medical professional looks like? Ever wondered what a production that is, way, closer to satire than documentary looks like?
It would feel unethical to comment.on the participants as a large number of them appear to suffer from mental health/sanity issues and are seemingly vulnerable - not that that stopped the production team from exploiting them.
This is, arguably, one of the saddest productions I television history. It is also enlightening in the "how low can you go" department - for those who can stomach it.

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.
