It may feel like our favorite dating show The Bachelor (and all the other shows in the franchise) is on all year round, but for those days when it’s not on, Netflix and Hulu have plenty of other reality dating shows streaming to keep us busy. Netflix even has a little bit of Bachelor Nation – though it’s just one lonely season. The streaming sites have dating shows from other countries, too, so you can see just how much fun dating is in the UK with Love Island or in Australia with Back With the Ex. These shows will make you laugh, they’ll make you cry, and they’ll make you want to keep watching. Scroll through for all your options.
