‘The Circle’
Netflix kicks off the new year with a new reality series that will make you rethink how much time you spend on your phone. The Circle is basically Big Brother with a social media twist–meaning that none of the housemates interact face to face and all communication is done by text messaging, status updates, and the select pics they decide to share. Some people are genuine, sometimes awkwardly so, and a couple are catfishing the rest in the hopes of being the final roomie standing. Somehow, a show about people alone in their apartments talking to their TV is ridiculously addictive (and you’ll probably end up shouting at your TV too).
