Let me be clear: I had no interest in watching this show. When I saw the trailer two months ago — back in the normal, non-COVID-19 world — you couldn’t have paid me any sum of money to sit on my couch and earnestly watch “The Bachelor: Listen to Your Heart.” If this was a normal Monday, I’d be doing absolutely anything else with my life.
But it’s not, and a month into the coronavirus quarantine, I have run out of content. So here we are. It’s officially the darkest timeline.
After one episode, this spin-off is … not that terrible! It doesn’t look like “The Bachelorette” is happening anytime soon, which should postpone “Bachelor in Paradise,” the best show of the franchise.
