If these shows are about finding lessons in love, there’s a very clear lesson from this one: DO NOT get married at first sight. The Lifetime series brings in a panel of experts (psychologists, sexologists, sociologists, marriage counselors, etc.) to pair off couples who agree to marry, and to stay married for at least eight weeks. What’s fascinating here is less the premise in and of itself, but the process that the couples go through in mapping out their new relationship with the experts on hand. Many/most couples can’t afford even typical relationship therapy, much less consultations with a series of experts, and, as a result, there’s a lot of insight to be gleaned about healthy habits and means of communication, even if you’re not planning to get married to someone you’ve just met.
(The show is widely available, but different streamers have different seasons. So you might have to shop around if you’re looking for a specific cast.)
Where to stream: Lifetime, Hulu, Discovery+, Pluto, The Roku Channel, Netflix, Hoopla
