Is love really blind? It seems so. So far, Netflix's dating reality show has a better track record than that dating franchise filled with roses. But those feel-good love stories are just a bonus: we're all here for the messy drama. The show's format remains the same: single men and women date strangers in connected pods. They meet only if they are engaged. This time around, the single men and women are from Charlotte, North Carolina, so there's sure to be a mix of Southern charm and "Bless Your Heart" betrayal.

Amy Schumer is not for everyone, but even non-fans may be surprised by her drama. Her humor is more understated and nuanced. The story of a grieving woman returning home reminds me of HBO's excellent Somebody Somewhere. In Season 2, Beth continues to adjust to her familiar yet changed surroundings, and her relationship with the eccentric farmer John (Michael Cera) deepens. At the same time, however, her thoughts of marriage and parenthood grow, and these are intertwined with the shadows of her childhood trauma, both of which make her uneasy.
