‘Twin Love’ comes to Prime Video

Category: Television and Streaming

Twin Love is a new kind of reality dating show. Hosted by Brie and Nikki (the Bella sisters), this nine-episode series combines ten sets of twins in a challenge where they might find true love. They also are challenged to see if the “twin effect” is strong.

The contestants are sets of identical twins who have never, or rarely, been apart from each other. They are now separated into to different houses and there they live amongst the other twins – men and women. So, in each house there are halves of twins, if that makes sense. They are not allowed to contact each other. They must take this challenge themselves and see if they are capable of making decisions for themselves without the input from their twin.

So, this “experiment’ is interesting in that viewers see whether the female twins are attracted to the male twins from each set or if they find others more interesting, and vice versa. It kind of sounds complicated and trust me, I watched all nine episodes at the same time and was confused as to who was who. They are identical after all. Also, I do have to confess that I do not watch reality dating shows so I know nothing about bachelors or bachelorettes giving out roses. That said, I thought this was an interesting concept and the Bella sisters are fun to watch. Just which one is Nikki and which one is Brie?

Anyway, during the time the sets of twins are separated yet together with the opposite sets of twins, there are issues that arise as often the twins are put to the test and are tasked with selecting something that will go against what they perceive their twin would want. Yes, as I said earlier, it does sound confusing but while watching it it is much less bewildering. I simply cannot divulge any spoiler alerts here.

The bond between twins is the part that makes this as interesting as it is. Identical twins are unique in that way. They share not only physical likenesses but plenty of personality traits as well. 

And before you think that everyone who starts the experiment remains throughout the nine episodes, think again. Yes, there are those who leave, either by choice or by selection. All will be revealed during the show.

Twin Love premieres November 17, 2023 on Prime Video.
