The reality show “Love on the Spectrum” — which just released its
fourth season — has become a big hit; it’s currently one of the
most watched shows on Netflix in the United States. The show
follows autistic adults as they search for love.

“Love on the Spectrum” is unlike much of reality television — a
genre known to subject its cast members to drama and humiliation
for entertainment’s sake. Instead, the show captures a dating
world that has more heartwarming moments than histrionics, and is
sensitive and nuanced in its portrayal of neurodivergent people.

On today’s episode of “The Sunday Daily,” Rachel Abrams talks
with Anna Peele, a contributing writer for The New York Times,
about the show’s origin story and why it has resonated with so
many people.

On Today’s Episode:

Anna Peele is a contributing writer to The New York Times
Magazine and the author of the forthcoming book “Enter the
Villa,” about the reality show “Love Island.”
