The Circle (III) (2018–2021)
2/10
The Devolution of a Genre
17 January 2020
This show is the worst of "Millennial TV" (no offense meant to specific Millennials): each character is less a person than a brand, even the "normal" guy; obviously diverse cast, with POC being the most interesting/likeable; there's lots of calories but no nutrition; and its heavy on editing and stupid, basic emojis.

I have as little idea how this show was pitched as I do how the Narrator was cast: she is literally reading a script...poorly. It's painful to listen to. Even worse is the pacing: they spend 40 minutes introducing us to stereotypes without ever telling the audience what the hell is going on. And don't get me started on the "voice-activated 'AI'".

Don't waste your time: watch Love Island instead.
