Aug. 7 (UPI) -- Love is Blind jumps across the pond for a U.K. version, which dropped four new episodes on Netflix Wednesday.

The show follows singles who hope to fall in love without ever setting their sights on potential mates. They get to know one another from remote pods, before pulling the trigger on a lifetime commitment.
