Love Trash TV? From Love Is Blind To Splitsvilla, 5 Cringe-Worthy Shows You Can Binge Watch On OTT

Let's be real—not all shows must be a brainy work of art. There are times when you just need to see pretty people make bad decisions while behind-the-scenes producers foment in the shadows. Enter trash TV—that guilty pleasure genre where drama, anarchy, and cringe live alongside each other in blissful harmony. It might be love triangles, tests of loyalty, or the catty fights—whatever it is, these programs provide that kind of unhinged viewing that enables you to forget about real-world issues.

5 Cringe-Worthy Shows You Can Binge Watch On OTT

Here are the top 5 cringe-worthy shows you can binge watch now on OTT, judgement-free.

1. Love Is Blind (Netflix)

'Love is Blind' is a social experiment turned into a cultural phenomenon—and meme jackpot. It poses the ultimate question: Can two individuals fall in love and never see one another? Absolutely not, of course, but the experience of watching them try is where it's at. Amidst the breakdowns, pod betrayals, and on-screen drama, this show is the best of romance and broken hearts.

2. Too Hot To Handle (Netflix)

Picture placing a group of obscenely gorgeous people on an island in the tropics—then informing them that they can't have sexual relations with each other. That's ‘Too Hot To Handle’ in a nutshell. The contestants begin believing it's just another dating show, but promptly encounter their arch-nemesis: a chatty bot named Lana who fines them for making out. Chaos, rule-breaking, and the occasional actual emotional growth (emphasis on occasional) ensue.

3. Indian Matchmaking (Netflix)

If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if your nosy auntie got a Netflix budget—here’s your answer. Sima Taparia, Mumbai’s most famous matchmaker, brings her brand of tough love and biodata analysis to global singles. The show is part documentary, part horror film for anyone who’s ever been on a bad arranged marriage setup. It’s awkward, problematic, and completely addictive.

4. Splitsvilla (JioCinema)

'Splitsvilla' is the original Indian dating show that paved the way for ‘Love Island’ to exist. Hosted by Sunny Leone and Rannvijay Singha, Splitsvilla drops sexy singles into a villa, make them perform tasks, and allows the drama to simmer. From ‘ideal matches’ to the infamous 'dumping ground’, each episode is like a 2008 fever dream that never, somehow, stopped. If you're an MTV kid, this is nostalgia served with a side of mayhem.

5. The Kardashians (JioHotstar)

The Kardashians built it before influencer culture became the air that we breathe. From Kim's diamond earring meltdown to Kourtney's deadpan one-liners, this show is the template for the modern reality TV show. It's shiny, ridiculous, and somehow emotionally reassuring. Re-watching the sisters fight, cry, and make up is like reuniting with that one bad friend you just can't avoid.
