The cart comes way before the horse in the reality series "Married at First Sight." Based on a hit Danish format, "Married..." features people who agree to participate in an extreme experiment: Each covenants legal marriage with a complete stranger. Specialists -- including a spiritualist, a relationship coach and a sociologist -- use scientific matchmaking methods to determine each couple, who will not have met or had contact with each other until the wedding day. The series then documents the relationships, including honeymoons and other relatable events of married life. After several weeks, each couple must decide whether to remain together or go their individual ways.

Krissy F @RT26893866 Sep 2, 2026 I liked the new setup, but the experts were terrible. There was no accountability or condemnation for Courtney’s emotional abuse, and Nick’s feelings were completely dismissed. Dr. Lisa’s bias toward Courtney was obvious, and Caitlyn’s nasty behavior went unchecked as well. It felt like all the criticism was directed at the men, while the women’s harmful behavior was ignored. As a longtime MAFS fan, I’m not interested in watching a show where the experts refuse to hold everyone equally accountable. The behavior of the experts and not being good moderators and allowing this type of behavior to happen is disturbing. Please bring back Pastor Cal and Dr. Pepper or some new experts. See more Tamara J @RT31237557 Aug 29, 2026 So they messed the show up. I understand dr pepper is seasoned, but dr. Cal and her process was legit a really breakdown of hiw to build a marriage. This season the have all the couples involved in there therapy to much. To much opinions going on that powered other people's relationships before they actually got to get there. So bring Dr. Cal back not this bull See more Sydney F @BlackNSilver44 Aug 28, 2026 Peacock did a great job reviving this reality show. I wasn't a huge fan before because it was so slow moving but they made some great changes. See more Stacy T @RT86814321 Aug 27, 2026 Not as good as the other seasons.. I feel like the f bomb is dropped way to much and it comes off tacky. Also the new hosts are not as good as the old hosts See more Read all reviews
