Netflix is back with its newest social experiment on love, and its premise is more chaotic than ever. The Ultimatum follows six couples where one person has issued the other an ultimatum: “Marry me or it's over.” In the experiment, the couples are split up and scrambled, going on three-week “trial marriages” with each other's partners with the goal of arriving at some sort of clarity on whether their original match was meant to be. After switching back to their original pairs, the couples have two options: to leave engaged or break up. Because, of course, the most logical test for a struggling couple is to trial-marry someone else and then be forced into an engagement. But hey, it's reality TV.
“Who signs up for this?????” asked Food52's Editorial Lead Margaret Eby. “Hi I love my partner but I’d love to break up publicly or force them into marriage.”
