Dating Around is a Netflix Original dating series –  it was first released on Valentine’s Day last year. Each episode sees a different singleton set up on a number of blind dates trying to find “the one”. The Netflix synopsis for the show reads: “In each episode of flirtations and fails, one real-life single navigates five blind dates. The mission: Find one match worthy of a second date.”

Too Hot To Handle needs to be on this list because if you haven’t already watched it you really, really need to. It’s the latest in the list of Netflix dating experiment shows – and it really is something. The premise is simple: take a whole bunch of horny single people, stick them all in an amazing villa and then tell them they can’t touch each other. If they do, the prize fund at the end will get lower and lower.

The show is wild, the memes are incredible and it’s definitely going to fill the reality TV shaped hole there’s been in your life recently.

Love Is Blind is the crazy Netflix dating experiment which really set the bar for every show to come. If you haven’t watched it already you’re seriously missing out.

It follows a bunch of single people, who blind date in pods before deciding which person they would like to marry – without ever seeing them. They all start love-bombing within the few episodes and then we watch them plan the weddings, meet each other’s families and plan bachelor and bachelorette parties. Then in a show-stopping drama-packed finale, we finally see who goes through with saying yes at the altar. Netflix even threw in a reunion show for good measure to catch up with all the gossip from the cast.

Honestly prepare for this one. There’s non-stop drama, top-tier memes and some of the wildest moments ever seen on TV.
