Netflix fans rejoice as Love Is Blind UK returns to screens after dramatic first season
Marriage goals couple Emma and Matt Willis host a second season of Netflix show Love Is Blind UK, where singles speed date and get engaged without ever seeing each other... what could go wrong? 'It's madness, falling in love through a wall!' screeches one dater as this second season kicks off. Well, we could have told them that... Proposing without even seeing someone in the flesh seems like a terrible idea (especially when it's televised for the nation), but plenty of people seem happy to volunteer. Unleashing plenty of magic and plenty of mess, emotional rollercoaster of a dating show Love Is Blind UK returns to Netflix to help out fed-up singles. 'Modern day dating is a shambles,' moans one, while another says: 'Picture, swipe, picture, swipe, there's no romance.' Hosted by marriage goals couple Emma and Matt Willis (17 years marriage and three kids) they provide a stabilizing presence in this social experiment where couples have blind dates in soundproofed pods and can't see each other. Romantic or completely insane? Well last year, six couples got engaged, two got married and one - Jasmine and Bobby Johnson - have actually gone on to start a family. So it's not completely unsuccessful? The idea is to prove that love really is blind, with an approach that relies on personality alone. If a couple falls in love, the next step is for them to get engaged and finally meet in real life, before heading to the outside world to test whether their relationship can survive. For viewers, it's all worth it for the big reveal when couples finally lay eyes on each other - reactions range from running into each other's arms to absolute, sheer dumbstruck horror. Or occasionally they mask their disappointment, but dump each other later. When their wedding day arrives, will real-world realities and external factors push them apart, or will they marry the person they fell blindly in love with? Matt promises this series will be just as heartwarming as the last. He says: "There's something special about the giddiness of early love." As it starts, we meet all the singles, including spiritual Patrick, a human design coach who 'follows his spleen' (don't ask) and cabin crew Ashleigh, who immediately starts crying because she has never found love and all her friends are getting married. There is also gym owner Kal, gaming entrepreneur Kieran, Army physical trainer Billy, as well as singer Aanu, sales and marketing director Bardha, dancer and fitness instructor Megan and nanny Katisha. They all enter the pods, notebooks in hand, ready to speed date and see if they click. But with love triangles forming quicker than first impressions, it certainly isn't a fairy tale for everyone… for viewers though, it makes for addictive, tense telly. *Love Is Blind UK is streaming now on Netflix

Netflix adds 'incredible yet devastating' true story film that leaves fans in floods of tears
Netflix fans have been left 'heartbroken' after watching the biopic about a famous wrestling family, starring Zac Efron and Jeremy Allen White. Netflix has added a heartbreaking biopic about a famous wrestling family which has left viewers in floods of tears. The Iron Claw, which features a series of Hollywood stars including Zac Efron and Jeremy Allen White, tells the devastating story of the Von Erich brothers as they made history in the highly competitive world of professional wrestling in the early 1980s. The 2023 film, which was released in UK cinemas in February 2024, has scored an impressive 89 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes and landed on Netflix over the weekend. Zac Efron takes on a leading role as Kevin Von Erich, one of the siblings who achieved fame as a professional wrestler whilst Harris Dickinson plays David, Jeremy Allen White plays Kerry and Stanley Simons plays Mike. A synopsis for the sports drama reads: "The true story of the inseparable Von Erich brothers, who made history in the intensely competitive world of professional wrestling in the early 1980s." Despite their wrestling success, the Von Erichs faced endless amounts of tragedy outside of the ring. The family was struck by a series of tragic deaths, which are depicted throughout the film, with their misfortune becoming known as the 'Von Erich Curse'. The film was already so sad that the director was forced to make the tough decision to leave one major detail out of the film in case it was too upsetting for viewers. Despite this, Netflix fans have been left highly impressed by the biopic, although they have warned it is a difficult watch. One IMDb reviewer wrote: "The Iron Claw is incredible yet devastating. It's an emotionally haunting film that is going to stick with me for a while." Meanwhile another fan on Reddit wrote: 'This movie completely broke me and I don't say that often but damn. 'I knew very little about the family going into it but had heard it was based on a true story and depressing. But this movie was more depressing than I had imagined lol especially the last 15 minutes absolutely brutal.' A third added: "Watching the final scene of The Iron Claw and I think someone must have been cutting onions next to me. Seen it like 5 times and it always hits like a punch to the gut." Referencing the missing detail of the film, another reviewer on Letterboxd wrote: 'Crazy they actually made the story less sad in order to make it more believable.' Throughout the course of the film, tragedy strikes the family multiple times and Kevin is the only brother who lives through it all. The first is when the Von Erich's older brother, Jack, died at the age of six. How he passed away was one of the many tragic details left out to make the film watchable as Jack was electrocuted by an exposed wire and drowned in a puddle. The next of his brothers to die was David Von Erich, who passed away at 25 on a trip to Japan after health complications caused his sudden death. Later in the film, Mike and Kerry Von Erich both take their own lives. Mike sadly becomes disabled to due to an in-ring accident and Kerry loses his leg the night he won the family's first World Championship. All of this happened in real life except one major detail was missed out - there was another brother who also died of suicide. Chris Von Erich was left out of the film with Mike being a combination of the two real life brothers. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Chris suffered from asthma and brittle bones but attempt to wrestle anyway, which proved to be a huge fail. He killed himself with a shot to the head in 1991 at the age of 21. When speaking about the decision to leave out Chris, director Sean Durkin said: 'There was a repetition to it, and it was one more tragedy that the film couldn't really withstand.' He confessed that Chris had been in the script for five years and taking him out was an 'impossible choice.' Durkin stated that Kevin, who is the only son of Fritz Von Erich to live past their 20s or 30s, said he 'understood' when he told him of his decision.

Netflix adds 'must watch' British TV comedy hailed as 'brilliant' by viewers
The ITV sitcom first streamed on ITV2 with fans already calling for Netflix to make the fifth series available Netflix has recently added a new British TV comedy show, with viewers already raving about the "brilliant" programme. The show has left many in stitches, and been labelled as a must-watch for comedy buffs. Plebs, which originated on ITV, has been praised by viewers as the "funniest British TV comedy ever made" as people rush to binge-watch it. The programme is currently sitting in third place on Netflix's top 10 ranking of most popular television shows. The ITV sitcom has a total of five series to binge, however only the first four are currently on Netflix. Fans have already called for the fifth series to be added. Plebs became a hit on ITV2 when it aired, with surprise guest stars that included the likes of Danny Dyer as Cassius the Gladiator. The show concluded in 2022 with a special feature-length Christmas episode, which saw the boys enlist in the army during peace time, before war broke out, sending them to the front line to fight for a cause they did not believe in. Fans have already taken to google to leave good reviews, with one person describing it as "the funniest, most brilliantly written comedy ever made". They added: "It's frustrating that it feels totally underrated. The characters are all so funny in their own right and the stories in each episode are final feature length film had us in tears as well as in stitches! Brilliant!! We will miss it so much!!" Someone else echoed: "Just finished binge watching the whole show and I loved it! Hate I found it so late in the game. It's a must watch!" "I've watched every episode of this," wrote another fan. "I think it's brilliant. Clever how it's an ancient setting but modern humour. Hope they make a season 6." The show has been described as a crossover between Horrible Histories and The Inbetweeners, full of juvenile humour which focuses on a group of unfortunate pals living circa 26BC amid the Roman Empire. Plebs follows the three unlucky lads, Marcus (Tom Rosenthal), Stylax (Joel Fry) and their house-slave Grumio (Ryan Sampson) as they take on the big city of Rome. Aside from all the chaos and hilarity throughout, you could also learn a thing or two about the ancient Romans. The show takes its history seriously, with esteemed historian Mary Beard said to be credited as an adviser on the show. However not everyone had glowing reviews, as some felt the show lost its spark by time the fourth series came along. One person wrote: "Excellent show! Belly laughs through the first three series'. Fell flat in the fourth series. Replacing the charm of Stylax with the horrible smarm of Jason was a huge huge mistake." "Its bonkers and there are some moments where it's far too reliant on second hand embarrasment, but it's still a good laugh and still quite a novel concept," another wrote.
