S01E05 · Eshghe Abadi Show S01E05

Eshghe Abadi Ghesmate 5 continues Iran's first major dating reality show, filmed in a luxurious villa in Bodrum, Turkey. Hosted by former actress Parastoo Salehi, the 2025 series brings together young single Iranian contestants for romantic challenges, group dates, and dramatic partner switches, all vying for a $30,000 grand prize. Inspired by international hits like Love Island, this Persian-language adaptation reframes the format through an Iranian cultural lens while boldly showing relationships, physical contact, and behavior rarely seen on domestic Iranian TV. Since its April 2025 premiere, the show has racked up millions of views per episode and sparked fierce debate—hailed by some as a refreshing window into suppressed youth culture, and slammed by conservative critics as scandalous. Watch Episode 5 on Top Local Videos and see why it's one of 2025's most talked-about Iranian shows.
