Netflix’s nutty reality show, The Circle (2020), is social media-based Survivor. Eight strangers who never meet in real life and are supposed to judge each other based on voice command chat conversations and profile photos only. If you’re liked, you stay on the show. If people don’t like you, you get kicked off. If you can get through the first episode you’ll find yourself rooting for an Italian meatball named Joey (“YEAH BUDDDDY”) and his bromance with a nerdy UCLA-grad and supposed social media hater Shooby. It’s a weird social experiment for sure, but I really believe these strangers made genuine connections with each other, albeit guised under loyalty voting. Could the Breakfast Club come together if they were isolated into hotel rooms and had to rank each other? I think not.
