The Australian reality dating show Back With The Ex is about couples – and the chance to start over. In Back With The Ex, couples who have previously broken up will want to try again to find their relationship again, and viewers will judge whether that worked or just wasted time.

A lot of dating shows start with singles trying to find love, but what makes Back With The Ex so much more interesting is that all couples have been together before, so they've determined that they've had chemistry in the past. Although couples are a little confused, however, some breakups are just bad — but it's exciting to see them trying to find a way to rekindle past relationships.

Another Netflix original dating show called Indian Matchmaking is a documentary about Sima Taparia, the top matchmaker in Mumbai, who travels all over India and even to the United States in search of men and women who are looking for a matchmaker to help them.

Indian Matchmaking isn't really a reality TV show compared to many of the other dating shows on this list, but it's still a dating show that follows a specific group of people and what happens when they meet Sima. And, what really makes Indian matchmaking so interesting is because of its unique Indian culture, one that audiences may never really be exposed to on a regular basis.

In Netflix's reality dating show Say I Do, the story will follow several couples who are overcoming obstacles to celebrate their love and get the ultimate dream wedding, designed by three experts in less than a week.

This show isn't really about dating — it's about what happens after you find someone you want to be with for the rest of your life. However, if you're looking for something a little easier to watch than a regular dating show that focuses solely on dating struggles, then Say I Do is just what you need. Also, some of the weddings on the show are actually quite gorgeous and will make viewers start planning the same years in advance.

In Netflix's reality dating show called Dated and Related, viewers will follow several pairs of siblings or cousins to a mansion with the goal of helping their family members find someone to date.

The dating show Dated and Related is actually something unique and although the title can be misleading at first, it is very exciting. The trailer of season 1 is sure to make everyone feel uncomfortable, but at the same time, if you've ever watched the show, the relationships between family members will make you laugh, and the daters have good chemistry. Plus the show participants are quite cute.

If you're looking for a dating show that doesn't take place in the US, be sure to check out Single's Inferno. This Korean TV show is about ten people, five men and five women, who are looking for love, but have a downside - they need to survive on an island and fend for themselves. It's basically like the fight for survival but with love added to the competition.

Single's Inferno sounds as intense as it describes it. It really took over Netflix at launch and became a huge hit, showing how popular international shows are on Netflix. It's funny because the only way to literally get off the island is to find love and become a couple, which makes the motivation towards a relationship even greater.
