The Circle

I just found this on Netflix and didn't realize it was a weekly show. I ended up binging all the episodes they had out and finding myself on the edge of my seat! I am so excited for the next episode! It's like if black mirror made a reality show. I absolutely love it!

I really don't like Reality-TV shows, which surprised me when I couldn't stop watching The Circle! The contestants are likeable and you really begin to root for them.

I'm giving this an 8/10 because the last few episodes get really dull and boring with no real suspense. It also seemed unfair every time a new person was added because they had zero time to connect with people or make an impact.

I'm definitely looking forward to another season, but the aspect of adding new people every other episode is something I'm not a fan of.

Stumbled across this new reality show (new for the US anyway, and only 4 episodes to start) on netflix. it's an interesting take on reality tv in general, and on people's need to use social media specifically. it's apparently taken from a successful similar show in the UK, where people are placed in apartments within the same building and can only interact via some cleverly set-up "internet" screens (they can only interact with each other). some big personalities immediately stand out.

some of the people are honest about who they are, some are straight-up catfishing the others and others seem to be looking for a relationship. one thing for sure, they're all kind of attentions.

it immediately brought up questions for me. questions like - can they go outside? how long are they kept in these apartments? are they "minded" by production people - who might be setting up storylines? and how the heck do you win this?

It has all the characteristics of being trash but is actually hilarious. Give it a watch, after the first episode you won't be disappointed

I normally tend to not like reality tv shows but when I started watching this show it was unlike anything I had seen before. i fell in love with all the players and loved how the game worked. if there was a possibility I could participate i would. I was always waiting for the next episode to air. overall it's a great show to watch and i would recommend it to everyone even if your not a reality buff. #Sammie&Shooby
