Can't stop watching...its really good. Also, is it just me or the Alex/Adam guy looks and sounds like Steve Carrell?!!! Almost like one of his movie characters 😂

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

First season was really good natural beautiful people but season 2 is full of drama and real evil people I don't like season 2 it lowered the rate for me.

Omg! I thought this show would be vapid and lame and annoying etc. BUT the cast of Season One have totally won my heart. This ended up being a sweet, somewhat intelligent and completely hilarious and awesome show. I am NOT in to reality TV whatsoever but this show hooked me. I am curious to see if the tone changes in following seasons but it def came out swinging. Hopefully the recipe isn't dependent on Chris, Joey, Sammie, 'Rebecca', or Shooby to bring the specialness.

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

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.

This is NOT reality TV.

Season one was unique. Season two is also unique, but for different and more terrible reasons.

I've never in my life seen a reality TV show where the producers had their hands so heavily on the scales of the "competition".

Every conflict was created and engineered by them. Every "twist" carefully choreographed to get the result the producers want. The producers even tell the contestants who they should vote for and why in some instances. They also carefully engineer the exits of some players.

Season 2 is the quintessential example of scripted reality TV.

If you enjoyed Season One because you found the show was unique and interesting then Season Two will probably drive you crazy IF you realize how everything is designed and scripted by the shows producers.

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!

US reality tv producers, why on earth you have to ruin everything?! I loved the sincerity of the 1st season, it seemed actual, real: all the convos there, relationships, tears, everything. I'm saying that despite my fave didn't win lol However, the 2nd season, just what the heck!!

"Cringey" for soo many reasons. Unlikeable, over the top characters who can't make a full sentence without literally screaming out of nowhere. Seriously, my ears hurt! On what criteria exactly did you choose these players?? They all seem so phony and ingenuine, as if they are low level actors. Even the ones who claim to have good careers in real life and claimed to be well educated act just so simple-mindedly. Sorry no sorry. Oops, a cherry on top part: did you really have to add to cast that "too hot to handle" show winner?? Jeez.

Only too much drama even at the very first episode of the 2nd season. Can't really watch it, just not fun anymore. Thanks for making it "your own show" with obviously your cherry picked characters I don't know for what kind of audience.

So I saw the trailer for this and I thought "look at the garbage Netflix is picking up nowadays, these fools are desperate for content" but for reasons I'll never understand I put it on anyway. I never thought I'd get so invested in a show like this. I'm not too big into reality TV but now I'm texting all my friends like "watch The Circle so I can have someone to talk about this with! Trust me it's amazing!" Don't ask questions, just get past the first 15 minutes (lotta cringe) and bask in the glory of The Circle

If you love Big Brother or any reality tv show really, you'll love this! It's so much fun to watch. It's Big Brother but the cast is separated, never seeing each other, only texting on a dating style app which is on their tv, is the best way to explain it... you get to see only one photo of them to start... are they who they say they are or are they a catfish? I feel more connected with this cast than any other tv show, some of the catfish will even make you cry bc they don't think they're good enough to be themselves... but they definitely are.

Episodes get progressively worse. I don't know why didn't they have all of the players in the game from the start? Players that were added later had a huge disadvantage (which is not a bad thing because I didn't like any of them) because others know each other and have some kind of connection. Also, why does it matter if somebody is pretending to be somebody else you are still having conversations with a person no matter if their pictures are real or not, it's not like they get a bonus if they win as a catfish or kick a catfish off, it's confusing and frustrating. There was little to no tactics, like come on guys 100 000 dollars is on the line, do something form an alliance that actually talks about how are they going to rate each other and others. Episodes were like 95% filler and 5% actually interesting stuff. All this being said, I think that this kind of competition show has potential, but they need to work on a lot of things still.

Good if you just want some low brow entertainment or some background noise while cooking and cleaning. It's irritating that whoever is the most popular influencer during the first few votes typically holds all the power til the end of the season but that's how human interaction typically goes in real life. One or two ppl emerge as the leaders and everyone just follows. The sidekick players and the newer players typically end up in 3rd or 4th place by sucking up to the popular players who typically win. But they're supposed to be competing for money. The show would be more juicy if the contestants were more bold and scheming to eliminate the popular contestants. It's just irritating watching people give the game away to others and get themselves eliminated. Every season is pretty much the same. Season 5 is the most recent and has pretty good drama compared to the previous season.

The Circle is an unique and interesting original series from Netflix that gives the Big Brother vibe but instead of it being a game with ordinary people, we are treated with contestants who are or who have an social media following (and yes, I did my research on the contestant Instagram profiles) which I mean, it gives the show a little bit of that unique factor to it that makes it fun and exciting to watch. I do like the idea that the cast itself is diverse and have many different personalities where they can choose who they want to be which makes it so fun and overall, if you want a reality show that is different and a show where the contestants never come face to face with each other, then The Circle is one to watch.

Cool concept. The competitors are interesting and funny.

Cool concept, show isn't that bad but it seems that all they do is stand there and scream. Ugh.

Are we really so bored as a society that we find this entertaining and addictive? People sitting around talking to a screen, pretending to be or not pretending, who really cares? "I am who I am" lol that's a statement about Gen Z. They can be so fake online and be so different in reality. Here's a concept, get off the computer and go meet people face to face! This whole concept is so contrived and fake! What a snooze fest!
