Perfect Match Season 1 is the show that kicked off Netflix’s "reality universe" crossover era. Hosted by Nick Lachey, the series brings familiar faces from Netflix hits (and other franchises) into one tropical villa where love is only half the game. The other half is strategy: win a challenge, control the boardroom, and you can literally make or break other couples.
