Netflix apologizes for "Love is Blind" live reunion's hour-long delay after viewers "broke the internet"
CBSN
Netflix became the center of a reality TV storm on Sunday night when the streaming platform's second-ever live event, the "Love is Blind" season four reunion, saw a significant delay. The special was supposed to kick off at 8 p.m. ET, but did not start until over an hour later after viewers were repeatedly kicked out of the show or received pop-up messages saying it could not be played.
The streaming service had heavily marketed the live reunion for days leading up to Sunday. Nick Lachey, who hosts "Love is Blind" alongside his wife Vanessa Lachey, announced the live event on April 4.
The latest season of the show, described as a "social experiment where single men and women look for love and get engaged, all before meeting in person," focused on four couples – and a few individuals who used to be. It was a drama-filled season filled with love triangles and "mean girls," that pushed people to flock to the live reunion.
On the eve of the D-Day invasion, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower spent the remaining hours of daylight with the paratroopers who were about to jump behind German lines into occupied France. A single moment captured by an Army photographer became the most enduring image of America's greatest military operation.
