Netflix, the undisputed king of streaming services, now has season two of The Ultimatum available for viewing. Chris Coelen developed and produced the dating reality show for television.
Nick and Vanessa Lachey, stars of the popular reality show Love is Blind, are back for a second season to inspire couples to put their relationships to the test through chance meetings with other compatible singles.
Season 2 puts to the test once again the relationships of five engaged couples. Every couple has eight weeks to settle on marriage or break up.

Separated partners select new roommates from among their peers and live together for three weeks. Would you be willing to put that much faith in your relationship or yourself? I doubt many individuals would, which is why it’s so entertaining to observe others engaging in the activity.
The Ultimatum: Marry or Move on Season 2 Review
The show opens with a slow-motion shot of the happy couples walking in a romantic location, followed by clips of interviews with the competitors talking about how they want to get married and how this is the last chance for them to do so. Our hosts explained the issue while hundreds of candles flickered around them, and the atmosphere was palpably tense.
Lisa and Brian (age 32) are the oldest couple, followed by Kat and Alex (age 28) and Ryann and James (age 24) and Riah and Trey (age 25) and finally, Roxanne and Antonio (age 31) with their children. Two years is the shortest amount of time to date, and seven is the longest.
I had an initial dislike for James, Ryann’s high school sweetheart, and thought she should break up with him. He obviously was not ready to settle down and was waiting for something or someone better, and that something or someone eventually came up, because he slept with someone else on the show.
Lisa and Brian appeared to be truly in love, but as Lisa’s jealousy erupted, fighting broke out.
Since Trey and Riah have different views on having children, their relationship has been tumultuous from the beginning. I was hoping against hope that Kat and Alex, as well as Roxanne and Antonio, would end up together for good.

Awkward and heartfelt exchanges are equally distributed throughout the series. That’s why it’s so hard to stop watching. Some of these chats leave me feeling that one of the parties is desperately attempting to persuade the other to marry them.
So, there’s entertainment value in the drama, but it’s horrible to see people get wounded on screen. I know that a lot of reality TV is designed to make viewers feel better about themselves, but watching these shows only made me glad that I’m not dating anyone at the moment.
Is The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On Season 2 good or bad?
It works well. I’ll be honest and say that I didn’t give a hoot about this show at first, but the more episodes I watched, the more invested I became, and the more I came to appreciate it. Some people may consider it as silly and pointless, thinking, “Surely you know if you want to be with someone or not?”
But it seems like the candidates in this show are getting the guidance and clarity they need to make the proper choices. I also liked how marriage was presented as an option worthy of serious thought.
