The circle - final week

[jay55]

New thread, if we can stay awake to find out what happens...

(Yes, not being aware of the word cosmonaut is a little . But she's happy in her bubble.)

I'm not fond of any of them yet. But I like how fast paced it's been, two blockings, rankings being inconsistent and the sheer upfrontness in the games make it interesting to me.

The influencers turning on each other was brilliant.

@MayIDestroyYou are we watching the same thing because I am loving the USA series 2! I’ve just finished watching the first batch and can’t wait for more on Wednesday. It has had me hooked in from the beginning more than any other series of the circle and the pace is spot on. And the drama! Absolutely loving it.

Eurgh ... Halfway through USA 2 ep 3; I'm trying - but it's so dull. Not one of them is desperate enough for the prize to make themselves ridiculous or unpleasant. They're all too well balanced - well, apart from the constantly weeping writer.

Does it get any better?

Not alone. I just can't get into it, did try (!)

I’ve just started a thread about the USA series 2 if anyone else is into it and has watched the first four episodes...

@MayIDestroyYou I was reading something from the makers of the Circle yesterday about the different way each country plays.

Apparently we’re quite stand offish but then gang up on new people, the US tends to be friendlier and they always ask to pray together, Brazil is fiery and France is a bit of a mix.

Seems true from what I’ve seen of each so far, although I haven’t seen much of Brazil or France...

And the British girl in the US one is driving me crazy 🙈

Channel 4 have announced they won’t be producing anymore episodes of The Circle!

How do we convince Netflix to pick up both the UK and the USA versions?

Netflix have been in talks with studio lambert for the U.K. one already. My worry is it will continue to be pre filmed which means we only see very select stories and now viewers favourite prize etc.

Bit gutted but past its peak already.

True I hated it had been filmed months ago.
