Love Is Blind
The Netflix reality-dating show “Love Is Blind” is the ultimate dating test for any contestant who dares to enter.
Take a fresh batch of single hopefuls, place a wall in between them and let them fall in love without ever meeting.
Sounds simple right? However, in order to reveal the person behind the wall, the couple must get engaged and plan a swift wedding.
Many hopefuls do mutter the three words “I Love You,” but not everyone actually stands the test of time in the outside world.

Sex Education
This raunchy show is probably not one to watch with your parents, but it is a smart way of addressing intimacy and identity issues for teens.
Sex Education returned to our screens for its second season this year and certainly came back with a bang, leaving fans divided by the “racy” content.
In fact, the teen show had one of the biggest opening episodes of all time due to its explicit first episode – the opening scene showed Asa Butterfield, who plays main character Otis, simulating a solo sexual act.
