The Circle: França

I'm not particularly keen on reality TV but I've now watched every version of The Circle from around the world - the 2 seasons of the original UK show (ages ago), and, more recently the US, Brazil and French editions.

To be honest, I can't talk about the UK ones because I watched them so long ago that all I really remember is that they were unexpectedly brilliant, but can't remember enough details to really compare them to the other versions.

I just finished this French version and, honestly, it was just brilliant. Definitely my favourite of the non-UK ones. Every episode had something, and that finale had me in actual hysterics. Such vivid characters, lots of scheming and tactics, and I found that most episodes I changed my mind about who I wanted to win or leave the show.

Ultimately, it was good to see that, for the most part, all the players seemed to be nice people - perhaps not always in the game, but certainly outside it. It's always great to see the online personas and feuds disappear so quickly once the real players have been revealed, and generally the players can appreciate each other and their respective game plans, etc.

Basically I needed to rant about this show because no one I know has watched it and it was so good I needed to vent!

PS did you know that ALL versions of The Circle are filmed in the location of the original Circle UK - in the same block of flats (apartments) in Manchester, England? #nowyouknow

I really like that version of all Circles! Many unpredictable turns, great characters, no fake love, great Finale episode. Much better than US version, real emotions and interesting competitions. I really miss that in final episode in grand room there were not enough time to see reactions from eliminated players when final 5 was revealed. I sooooo wanted to see them interacting with each other.

I justs finished The Circle French, besides being a good show to practice french is very entretainig.

Have just watched the last episode and im literally like the emoji crying laughter....so funny.

I loved the Circle France, usually don't even watch reality tv shows, so this is a guilty pleasure. It was amazing and really entertaining! <3 #circlefamily.

I am usually not a fan of shows like these, but decided to give it a try after watching the American version.I laughed so much during the last episode and I honestly didn't expect for it to be better than the American version.If you wanna watch something that will make you feel giddy, without being too engaged and having to follow the heavy plot, than you should give this a try.
