The Circle (III) (2018–2021) User Reviews

Nice but this is really true?

I don't think this is true but take it as it is and you will enjoy it...

Reality TV is general crap - but this one is ok

[thenextrushmagazine · 6/10 · 5 February 2020]

If you're getting bored with the typical reality TV formats of free-to-air, this one gets you thinking as it uncovers the psychology of who we think we are, how we post, when we filter images, what emojis to use to deliver the personna we are trying to create online.

Most people on here are rating the wrong Circle 😂

This is the Euro Version not the Netflix one. How do people not see this? I have no opinion on this version because I have no way of watching it

I love it

[adele_c-16 · 10/10 · 2 January 2020]

It's so good, I really love this social experiment! I haven't finished watching it yet but I want shooby to win

Shocked that I loved it!

[tdrsweeps · 9/10 · 19 January 2020]

Thought I would hate this show, put it on for background noise on a snow day stuck inside. Ended up hooked after the first episode, watched the whole season in one sitting, and found myself smiling from ear to ear at the end geeking out when they announced the winner. Amazed that I found this so entertaining and it really shows the true meaning of making friends strictly online without face to face interaction which is something that I struggle to do. Loved it!

Got hooked quickly, no ragrets!

I rarely watch reality TV but was very easily hooked by this show. Then I asked my sister to watch it, so that I would have someone to talk about it with. We discussed the series VERY shortly after- she binged it, too. I expected to see horrible people being horrible and was very pleasantly surprised to be introduced to such a warm and engaging cast. By the satisfactory end, I want to be friends with them irl, too!

LOVED IT!

First reality show I watched from start to end!!! Good Job Netflix

Dumber now!

[billyt · 1/10 · 18 January 2020]

My daughter was watching so I sat with her a while and I'm pretty sure I'm dumber now for having seen this. I can't imagine a worse show.

Good Show

[Sahaib-Parvez · 10/10 · 26 March 2021]

Interesting. One of my favourite shows. It is always interesting with new things being added like the circle assassins, clones, celebrities, etc. I would recommend this show to most people.

This is what is wrong with society

[katieannecoombs · 1/10 · 16 January 2020]

I can't believe people are rating this above 1. I'm in my 20s and this is god awful garbage 😂 - this show depicts Everything that is wrong with social media.

Actually loved it!

[juliemichaud-06627 · 16 January 2020]

Every character is so lovable, at first I though I would hate it but it was one of the best reality tv I've seen in a long time! Give it a try!

Watchable but almost unbearable.

[Healing_Process · 4/10 · 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.

Way Too Fake

[nashks92 · 2/10 · 4 January 2020]

Ok, I get it, pretty much all reality TV shows are scripted.

Issue with this is that they are atrocious. This show made me appreciate the great acting in the reality TV works

A reality show, that's not very real!

[lukepb4 · 4/10 · 21 October 2019]

Could be so much better! First season was pretty good, but the second season is winding me up. The show only seems to choose "far left" liberal idiots. It feels like they're (Channel 4) trying to push the pc, extreme left views onto everyone. A reality show that's not very "real".

The Devolution of a Genre

[SusanLervold · 2/10 · 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.

Show is watchable

[lrossignol-45416 · 5/10 · 2 January 2020]

Overall the show is good, but series 1 is made almost unwatchable because of one players grating personality.

A show to reward catfish who sits on the fence for most times

[nafewen · 1/10 · 1 May 2020]

A show tt has a THOUSAND claps and praises for persons who don't have conscience on catfishing others and letting the ones with integrity and kindness stand up for them and do their job. (whilst the catfishers sit on the fence on MOST topics)
