Fans on Reddit have been thrilled at the news of the show's return, with season one regarded as being much more popular than its US predecessor. "Series one was amazing! So much better than its US sister," quipped one follower of the show. Another echoed: "Totally agree! Being from the UK myself I thought they'd cast it with Love Island influencer wannabes and it would be s**t but they have done such a good job with the casting!" "I love that they're older and are genuine people with real stories," they added. One person simply quipped: "It's so much better than the US ones so far." Someone else wrote: "It's such a breath of fresh air after the last few US seasons!! They're older, more mature and seem more real. Like they're not there just to get a social media following and brand deals." Another agreed, quipping: "I was very pleasantly surprised and binged it in one go. I got a bit bored of the US version and it's so refreshing to see older people. It definitely genuine." "It's so soo good! I'm loving it, loving the chats they have. They're all so vulnerable and seem so authentic, talking about their personal growth. Some of their chats make me get teary," wrote another viewer. Someone else added: "The casting is fantastic, there are zero filler characters. Everyone is interesting, but it's not OTT drama either. It feels like real people having interesting but believable interpersonal drama. This is already the best season across the franchise for me." The first four episodes of Love Is Blind will be available from August 13. Four more will follow on August 20 with the final four on August 27.
