Deep Fake Love

I can't even comprehend what happened in here. Everyone be like "Of course I came to test my feelings and my relationship, gotta makeout and sleep in bed with everyone so I should know". Like, the test itself is to resists and do nothing with some random people you've just messed???? How come acting on your animal instincts is a test. Half of the cast are pathetic forms of human beings, especially Angel, Aida and Manuel. Props for Isa and Ruben for respecting each other till the end. I do hope that not only the deep fake but everything's scripted and fake because humanity has failed otherwise.

This show makes Temptation Island look positively helpful to relationships . (Almost) It's the same premise..couples in relationships in trouble decide the best way to deal with it is to go on TV, and get involved with others and look for a happy ending with their original partner and with some money. The twist here is that they are shown 'Deep fake' videos of their partner engaged in...being engaged with someone else. Some videos are real and some are most definitely not but they don't know the difference. We are in on the 'joke' (is it a joke or game ? ) anyway...in the end the truth of the videos are revealed to the partners but even when they are told what is true and what isn't the doubts are clearly planted by the Deep Fakes so positive endings are in doubt. And then there's the 'bait' partners ..no one cares about them. It seems that any feelings they may have are inconsequential. The take from this programme is that Deep Fakery in the real world is scary and concerning. We definitely cannot believe what we think we see and this show shows it possibly better than any 'news' or political pundit ever has. Here it's being done for 'entertainment' ...but in the real world it can be used for anything. My overriding feeling watching this show is it's voyeuristic and essentially very cruel. It's playing on anyone's deepest insecurities and once triggered and 'proved' (even though they're not) how do you go on from there. It will be interesting to see if another season is done and what happens in the long run to these couples.

Amazing, I never knew a show so sadistic could be greenlit and this has given me hope for a real Hunger Games or even Squid game. Every episode is full of very beautiful people that seem more shallow than the waters in Africa, yet so much emotion can only happen if they dosed the pool water with MD. Each time they showed a deepfake without voice it was pretty obvious, yet no one seemed to notice. I wish this whole thing is scripted because if not, the consequences are that everyone lost at the end. (almost literally) 10/10 in the scale of horrible things i've done with my time. 10/10 in the scale of things i've regretted i liked.
