The Circle Game : États-Unis

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 😂

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.

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.

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.

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?
