Valentine’s tie seems as good a time as any for another season of “Love is Blind” (Netflix, streaming), this one featuring Ohio singles who try to woo one another with out seeing one another. Things move quickly; there’s a proposal in the first episode. When others try to decide who among two candidates to choose, it seems that some worthy candidates will be left empty-handed.
