Love Island: All Stars
Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
LOVE ISLAND ALL STARS brings back former contestants of the Love Island series for another chance at romance. Set in a luxurious house, these men and women from the UK pair up, break up, and swap partners as they search for love, guided by public votes. The show is packed with flirting, drama, and poolside lounging in skimpy outfits, all while the participants navigate their feelings and attractions under the watchful eyes of the audience.
Is It Any Good?
Offering a blend of familiar faces and new drama, this is a hit for those who've followed previous seasons. The twist of reuniting ex-contestants adds an extra layer of intrigue to Love Island All Stars right from the start. While the focus on the superficial aspects of romance (and the maturity level of the participants) won't be many's cup of tea, Love Island All Stars knows its audience well. For fans of the genre, it's a fun, if not particularly deep, dive back into the world of Love Island.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about the portrayal of relationships and romance on reality TV. Discuss how these representations compare to real-life relationships and the importance of emotional connection and mutual respect.
Shows like Love Island All Stars talk a lot about appearance, but being kind, smart, and funny is important too. How does it make you feel when someone likes you just for your looks? Discuss what's inside being what matters, like how you treat friends, your hobbies, and what you're good at. What qualities in your friends do you love that aren't about looks?
Discuss the responsible consumption of alcohol. The regular drinking depicted on the show can serve as a starting point for discussions about moderation, the effects of alcohol, and making safe choices.
