I Think Perfect Match Season 2 Has Improved The Show’s Reputation (But It Could Still Fail)

Summary

• Perfect Match season 2 has improved from season 1, but could still fail due to internal drama.
• The impressive cast in season 2 has brought unexpected drama and relationship challenges.
• Despite a revival in reputation, the show may falter at the end due to the focus on existing couples.

Perfect Match season 2 has been a great effort after the show’s first season was less of a success, but I think it could still fail after a successful sophomore effort. Throughout Perfect Match season 2, the cast has been working hard to deliver classic reality TV drama despite some coming from competition shows. As relationships have formed between the cast members, causing strain on other relationships they’ve been building this season, they’ve been tested frequently by the power shifting throughout the game. The couples have been pulled apart with each compatibility challenge to try and throw them off easily.

The cast of Perfect Match season 2 includes some of the most impressive names in the Netflix reality TV universe. Including Love Is Blind season 4’s Micah Lussier, season 5’s Izzy Zapata, and season 6’s Jessica Vestal, Too Hot To Handle’s Harry Jowsey, Elys Hutchinson, and Melinda Berry, and The Mole season 1’s Dom Gabriel, who won Perfect Match season 1, the cast brought out some major players from their talent pool and managed to create drama in the most unexpected of places. With the couples headed toward the finish line, I think Perfect Match season 2 could end badly.

Perfect Match Season 1 Was A Letdown To Viewers

Perfect Match season 1 seemed like it was going to be an exciting turnout for Netflix reality TV fans, but things went wrong throughout the season that made the series far more difficult to watch. With stars like Too Hot To Handle’s Francesca Farago and Chloe Veitch, the first season of Perfect Match was a fascinating look at the way Netflix stars intermingled when they were put in a whole new competition. Unfortunately, the rules of the show were difficult for the cast and viewers to follow.

Throughout Perfect Match season 1, the game was a messy, complicated competition. With the stars unclear about being able to make connections during the competition, there was a lot more personal drama that came from the strategy of the game itself than the relationships. The competitions were messier and led to more issues, as well, and the couples didn’t stay together after the end of Perfect Match season 1, which made things far more difficult for the show to find success with audiences.

Perfect Match Season 2 Changed Up The Series Format

During Perfect Match season 2, things were far more put together as the concept of the series was able to tighten up before filming. After making the concept clear to both viewers and the cast alike, Perfect Match season 2 became a far easier series to digest. The concept of couples competing, working together to play the game strategically, and bringing new singles in from the boardroom became much easier to understand throughout the second season. With Perfect Match season 2 making things more clear, the game became more interesting to watch as couples were able to strategize more effectively.

Perfect Match Season 2 Has Revived Its Reputation

While Perfect Match season 2 hasn’t exactly been perfect, it has revived the show’s reputation. With Perfect Match season 2 bringing together another all-star cast of reality TV stars who seem to want to be competing for love and power, the season has been able to captivate audiences with more authentic stories. Throughout the season, the running plotline of Too Hot To Handle‘s Harry detaching from the public perception he has and finding himself in an actual relationship with Love Is Blind‘s Jessica has been fascinating to watch unfold. Seeing their connection has been a fast-paced, interesting look at love.

Elsewhere, Tolu Ekundare from The Trust and Dated & Related’s Chris Hahn have gone from flirty friends to full-on lovers, while Too Hot To Handle and Dated & Related’s Stevan Ditter & Alara Taneri have been matched since early on in the competition. While neither pair have been great with competition, their relationships have been the focal point of the series. Despite having some pitfalls surrounding the other singles, the couples of the season have made for a great watch on the show overall. Bringing an urgency to Perfect Match, the newest season has made it one of Netflix’s best.

Perfect Match Season 2 Could Still Falter At The End

While Perfect Match season 2 has been a hit in many ways, the show could still falterr. Though the couples have been interesting to watch form, the fact that so many singles have coupled up quickly and ignored other singles that have come into the villa makes the series less exciting. In the future, Netflix may not want to put the effort into the series as they move forward and try creating new shows. Casting so many singles and infusing the drama themselves makes things harder than they need to be, meaning this could be the end of Perfect Match.
