The Circle Brazil; The Circle France

In early 2020, Netflix found its outlet to harness the modern anxieties around and obsessive pulls of social media via its reality TV competition show The Circle, based on a British predecessor of the same name. Then, just a few months later, the streamer dropped its Brazilian version of the show, and shortly after that came the French one. While the American one is addicting based on the concept alone, following isolated strangers who communicate and complete challenges exclusively through an app in order to compete for ratings to win a cash prize, you can go ahead and skip it altogether and settle in for one of its flirty international siblings instead. Maybe you'll have to turn on the subtitles to watch the social experiment of a reality show play out, but both are way more fun than its stateside predecessor, and many of the group challenges are regionalized, so you can finally learn some decent Brazilian dance moves. These contestants are all in it to win it, meaning chaos, catfishing tactics, and questions of authenticity abound, and Brazil's diverse cast makes for a great case of more representation in reality shows across the board.
