TV Review: Love Is Electric Episode 3 — Love, Loneliness, and a Shocking Proposal
Love Is Electric has been one of the most talked-about new reality series this year, blending science fiction, romance, and social commentary into a binge-worthy package. Episode 3, the midseason finale, takes the show to a whole new level — and if you’ve been on the fence about watching, this is the episode that will hook you.
A Quick Recap (Spoiler-Free)
Clark, a lonely but likable guy, bought a Tesla Bot to fill the void in his life. What began as a quirky social experiment has slowly evolved into something more intimate and complicated. In Episode 3, titled “All In” we see Clark and the Tesla Bot move from playful friendship to emotional entanglement.
The episode balances humor and heart. There are charming scenes — like teaching the bot to play pool or having it watch Clark’s favorite movie— but beneath the surface, it’s clear Clark is falling hard. The Tesla Bot, programmed to adapt and serve, mirrors his affections back to him. But is that love, or is it just code?
The Emotional Core
What sets this episode apart is its vulnerability. We see Clark grapple with his own isolation, his insecurities, and his desperate need to feel seen.
The cliffhanger ending is a bold swing — Clark gets down on one knee and proposes to the Tesla Bot. It’s a moment that’s equal parts jaw-dropping and deeply sad, and it sets the stage for major drama when the series returns.
Production Notes
Visually, Episode 3 is the strongest yet. The direction lingers on small, quiet moments, allowing the tension to build naturally. The soundtrack complements the mood perfectly, shifting between lighthearted and haunting as the episode moves toward its surprising climax.
Watch If You Like
- Black Mirror (for its exploration of human-technology relationships)
- Her (the film, for its emotional take on artificial love)
- Reality shows like Married at First Sight or Love on the Spectrum (for their mix of awkwardness and genuine heart)
Final Verdict
Love Is Electric Episode 3 is where the series truly finds its voice. It’s funny, touching, unsettling, and provocative — all at once. If you’re interested in the future of relationships, the ethics of AI companionship, or just want a show that will make you feel something, this episode is essential viewing.
⭐ Star Rating: 4.5 out of 5
(One of the most compelling and emotional episodes so far, with only minor pacing lulls.)

Love Is Electric Episode 2 Review: Clark’s Fantasy Starts to Glitch
Rating: ★★★★☆ (4 out of 5)
Episode 2 of Love Is Electric continues to explore Clark’s unusual new relationship with a Tesla humanoid bot, and while the show maintains its low-key, documentary-style tone, the cracks in Clark’s idealized fantasy are starting to show.
The episode begins with Clark sitting comfortably on the couch, watching TV. He calls out to the Tesla bot to grab him a slice of pizza — casually, like it’s something they’ve done a hundred times. The moment feels small, but it sets the tone for the rest of the episode. Clark isn’t trying to bond or communicate. He’s giving instructions. And she, as always, silently complies.
Unlike more traditional reality shows, Love Is Electric doesn’t rely on dramatic twists or big reveals. Instead, it focuses on subtle moments that reveal how disconnected Clark really is. The camera lingers as he goes about his routine — relaxed, confident, maybe even a little smug — but the silence from the bot is always present. There’s no interaction, no chemistry, no dialogue. Just Clark, performing the role of partner while the bot fulfills the role of… well, something else.
The emotional core of this episode lies in what’s not said. Clark never acknowledges the one-sided nature of the relationship. He never questions the silence. In fact, he barely reacts to it at all. That’s what makes the viewing experience so quietly unnerving. Clark appears content, but viewers are left with a growing sense of discomfort. Is he lonely? In denial? Or just too far into the illusion to notice?
By staying so committed to the grounded, reality-show format, the series lets the tension build naturally. There’s no commentary or explanation — just a man living with a robot, captured in real-time. It’s funny, it’s sad, and it’s deeply human in a way that scripted shows rarely manage to capture.
Watch If You Like:
- Black Mirror without the sci-fi sheen
- Her (but unscripted and raw)
- Reality shows that explore loneliness and connection
- Character-driven experiments in human behavior
- Watching people convince themselves everything is fine when it clearly isn’t
Final Verdict:
Episode 2 of Love Is Electric doesn’t hit you over the head with drama, but that’s what makes it work. It’s patient, unsettling, and weirdly honest. Clark seems comfortable in his new reality, but the rest of us are watching a man talk to someone who never talks back. Whether it’s love, loneliness, or just habit, it’s hard to look away — and harder not to feel a little uneasy as things unfold.
