Love is blind

Clock! Love is blind should be the first show on this list that you watch because season 2 will drop on February 11th and you want to catch them all. It’s a unique reality dating show where a group of single men and women find love and get engaged before meeting face-to-face. Why not watch people looking for love on Valentine’s Day? It’s an addictive show that you’ll quickly become obsessed with.

Bridgerton

Clock! You can’t have a list of Netflix shows that are romantic and not inclusive Bridgerton. The romantic period drama has an incredible cast, beautiful costumes, and beautiful setting. Don’t forget the gorgeous leads, Phoebe Dynevor and Regé-Jean Page. Their chemistry is off the charts! You will absolutely love this show. And many more coming soon. Bridgerton Season 2 is coming on March 25th!

Sexy beasts

Jump! Dating shows might be nice to watch on Valentine’s Day, but not shows like Sexy beasts. The movie is supposed to be about singles making relationships based on personality rather than looks, but it feels more like a comedy sketch with paid actors. No one on the show really wants to find love. If you’re looking for something fun to watch, go ahead and give Sexy beasts an effort. But if you’re looking for something substantial, move on to the other romantic Netflix shows on our list.

NEVER HAVE ME (L to R) RAMONA YOUNG as ELEANOR WONG, LEE RODRIGUEZ as FABIOLA TORRES, and MAITREYI RAMAKRISHNAN as DEVI VISHWAKUMAR in episode 202 of Never Had Me Cr. ISABELLA B. VOSMIKOVA / NETFLIX © 2021

I have never

Clock! Who doesn’t love a good love triangle? I have never explores the love triangle between protagonist Devi, her love rival Ben, and her lover Paxton. While watching the movie, you are in the same trouble as Devi and cannot tell if you are “Team Ben” or “Team Paxton”. It’s a complicated situation, and we love watching it! You should see I have never not only for the love story but for the whole show. It’s a very interesting story.

Sex / Life

Jump! You may wonder why we say ignore Sex / Life. Yes, there is a passionate love story between Billie and Brad, but the movie is too petty in my opinion. Many of the R-rated scenes overshadow the love story and make you think you’re watching an adult video. Honestly, it gets repetitive and you start to lose interest in the show. It’s okay if you still want to watch Sex / Life after our judgment. We only recommend saving it for a date other than Valentine’s Day.

Too hot to handle

Jump! On a normal day, I want to watch a popular reality dating show Too hot to handle. But on Valentine’s Day, it’s a tough pass. The goal of the series is for 10 lucky singles to meet and make meaningful connections while staying in a mansion for a long time. What is different is that the contestants are not allowed to engage in any form of sexual intercourse (yes, that includes kissing). While some contestants left the show in healthy relationships, most did not. In fact, most contestants have no problem breaking the rules for their own pleasure. Do not misunderstand me. BILLIONoo Hot to handle It’s a very interesting program. It’s not just a show that primarily focuses on finding love. It’s more of a game show, and for that reason we say SKIP.

GINNY & GEORGIA (L to R) ANTONIA GENTRY as GINNY and BRIANNE HOWEY as GEORGIA in episode 101 of GINNY & GEORGIA Cr. NETFLIX COURSE © 2020

Ginny and Georgia

Clock! Although Ginny and Georgia in the comedy-drama genre, there is still plenty of time for the love story in the film. In season 1, Ginny and Georgia find themselves entangled in many romances. Georgia gets caught up in a complicated love triangle and doesn’t know who she really wants to be with. While Ginny has the perfect boyfriend, she can’t seem to get over her feelings for her best friend’s brother. Once you start this program, you will be hooked.

Virgin River

Clock! Alexandra Breckenridge and Martin Henderson. Do I need to say more? You must see Virgin River at some point during your Valentine’s Day binge because it’s heartfelt, well-written, and well-acted. You will really enjoy watching the love story of the two main characters Mel and Jack unfold on screen.

Emily is in Paris. (L to R) Lucas Bravo as Gabriel, Lily Collins as Emily in episode 203 of Emily in Paris. Cr. Carole Bethuel / Netflix © 2021

Emily in Paris

Clock! Last but certainly not least is the Emmy-nominated series Emily in Paris. Emily in Paris is the romantic comedy we need! The popular Netflix original series follows Emily Cooper, an American girl who moves to France after getting her dream job at a French marketing company. We see Emily struggling to juggle work, friends, and romance on the show. But it’s Emily’s complicated love life that keeps you coming back for more. I don’t want to spoil anything for you, but just know that Emily deals with an army of French suitors. Oh, and yes another love triangle. So come and join Emily in Paris fan club and start streaming the show on Netflix!
