The Circle (III) (2018–2021)
4/10
Watchable but almost unbearable.
8 January 2020
The show has a great premise and has some interesting ideas. But the editing, repetitive slow pacing, and absolutely grating personalities some of the people have makes it so cringey and unbearable. I was spent almost immediately and wanted to know who won the 100k after episode 3.

The addition of adding people during the game is a cool idea but it makes you really not want to care. It would of been far more tense if the seasons were faster and came down to a quicker elimination. I have a hard time wanting to learn new people who are trying to be fake and put on a facade when they can be eliminated just to be added back with another new person also being fake. Its too taxing on watching it.

But with that aside and speaking about fake. The show has a very filtered approach to it and makes me not think its of high quality. I really wish more shows like this had some high transparency. This one does not and you see nothing of interest besides them sitting on a bed or a couch "YELLING" at the Circle TV.
