Review of The Circle

The Circle (2020– )
8/10
a new iteration of reality tv
3 January 2020
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?
