Do you remember when Love Island was the biggest show on television? I certainly do. It was all the way back in 2017, when I’d just moved to London, and that summer, it took over British pop culture in a water bottle-sipping, bright bikini-ed frenzy.
It was all anybody could talk about: its blend of slick visuals, scheduled drama and absolutely insane cast members shot it to the top of the national consciousness faster than you could say Big Brother. For a few years, it was everywhere - the cool new girl that everybody wanted to be associated with.
