Deepfake Love Season 1 Review - Recappin...

Erika Heidewald
About this episode

Netflix's latest reality dating show is a masterpiece. Josh, Frida, and I binge watched the whole season and we need more people to watch it so we can talk about this absolutely unhinged work of art. Deepfake Love (Falso Amor in the original Spanish) is a warning of a looming AI dystopia, a trashy reality show, and an insightful revelation into the neurotypical psyche, all at the same time. And that's realidad.

Aliens Watching Reality TV is hosted by Erika Heidewald and Josh Shahryar, two reality show newbies who grew up feeling like aliens (turns out we're just autistic and ADHD) and love analyzing human behavior by watching reality TV dating shows on Netflix.
