"Love Is Blind" is in hot water with a federal government agency, which could have a major effect for the reality television world.
Netflix's hit reality dating show is based on the premise that its participants can build lasting relationships and marriages by getting to know another person "sight unseen" – just by talking to them. That hasn't always worked out, which is where the messy entertainment comes in. This time, however, it isn't the show's drama that is at the center of attention. The National Labor Relations Board is putting "Love Is Blind" and its production companies, Kinetic Content and Delirium TV on notice for allegedly engaging in unfair labor practices and violating labor laws, it said in a statement Wednesday.
