This article discusses whether John and Emma from Down for Love are together and contains spoilers for the Netflix reality series.

There are a lot of reality dating shows available for you to consume on streaming platforms.

I don’t watch any of them.

I have to admit that I have often had to check in on certain episodes of certain shows, usually for context or research for an article, but I have never sat down and watched any season of any reality dating show — it’s not my thing.

However, I know that there are many fans of these shows that absolutely love them, and I suppose there is a certain allure to watching groups of beautiful people trying to get on with each other while advancing their own personal agendas, usually in the hope of becoming an influencer on social media.

Perhaps the greatest failing of these shows is the cynicism that we as audience members have developed towards them.

Sure, the premise may be to find partners for those involved, but you can’t help but get the feeling that the people that choose to apply and appear on these shows might be there for ulterior motives.

However, Down for Love may just be the dating show that manages to subvert all the above-mentioned problems, by being truly honest and full of heart.

The participants in the series have Down Syndrome, and as a result, the show presents an honest and heartwarming dating show that might just restore your faith in these kinds of presentations,
