I love this movie so much

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I had high hopes for this show. I loved Arranged (another show on arranged marriages from FYI) so I decided to try Married at First Sight, First Year. Yuck, what tripe!! When it doesn't seem like one big commercial promoting their upcoming celebrities (e.g. Monet now is the featured star for FYI's Black Love), it just is shallow and boring. You get sick of all the psycho-babble in between the hyped up drama of their problems. Even more annoying is their grand display of love -- watching them kiss all the time and talk about how wonderful their relationships are. Yawn.... What makes this show so boring compared to Arranged is that it is fake / scripted. If you want to watch a show on arranged marriages, stick with Arranged. These couples really care about each other and world around them. Their lives are interesting, their problems are real, and their love genuine. Otherwise, you can waste the next 10 hours of your life watching selfish people do and say anything to be the next big TV celebrity.
