The Circle - Season 5 on Netflix

[ChecoPerez]

Not seen a thread for this season so here it is!

Anyone else watching?
Initial thoughts?

I can't wait for Shoobie to come back in!

Ooooooo just starting. Love the hacker idea, hate who has the power.

Well, I don’t know how they’ve done it but this season has been rather charming and delightful. Even though the whole premise is less relevant now than it was when I watched the very first season during the first lockdown.

Only the finale to come next week. I like the favourite but want someone else to win. I wonder if they’ll manage a live audience this time - that would add some excitement.

I've one left to go.

This season has had the best timing of interventions.

And even though it's only had a small group as influencers, I don't feel like anyone has totally dominated.

But I'm also not totally behind any particular player.

I'll be watching tonight!

Jen is the worst, brilliant, but the worst.

Sincerely hope ‘she’ doesn’t win.

Bit worried Chaz will turn traitor and vote Raven down.

I like Chas a whole lot less after this set of episodes.
The way he was all out leaping to anyone being the hacker but the blatant hacker.

I need to stop name changing lol!

So anyway, watched one of the 4 new eps last night! Well done Jennifer with their use of power! That was sneaky!!

Loved toms song haha! He's my favourite I think!

Ok not happy with the last blocking at all!!!! They were my firm favourite to win!

It's so obvious Chaz will win and tbh the last few seasons have been so predictable with the winner... hoping there's a dark horse!

The last blocking was brilliant game playing and awful for the viewer.

I have no idea who the super influencer will block!! If they want to play tactful as mentioned, it will be Raven! But I think it might me Jennifer.

I think Paris needs to enter the next season on his own haha!!!

Raven's interpreters, wow! Such hotties. I'd be happy to watch a show all about them. Phew!!!
Do you think she only hires hot people?

Just finished! And yes, I’m wiping away tears of joy and appreciation.

Was that the best season ever (or am I just blinded by the beauty of Paris)? I do think it was excellent - the finalists’ dinner was the first I’ve ever really found entertaining.

And the right person won. I’m sure there’s room for most of the rest on American TV, or on Planet Influencer.

Anyway, at least now we know which career attracts all the prettiest people in the entire USA!

Delighted with the result too.
Loved that they all wanted the tea spilt over the hacker and blockings etc when they met, a feisty bunch.

Finished! Aww loved the winner! So happy!! I love seeing everyone's reactions when they all meet at the end :)

Yes, even without an audience they managed to make the ending quite lovely.

Well chosen contestants - that’s what made the difference this time.

Paris needs to go into season 6!! He just has to!!

Really happy with the winner!

Just finished watching this, was my favourite series yet - aside from the UK series two which was simply stunning (although disappointing at the end).

So happy with the winner, they were genuine throughout and so entertaining to watch. Amazing she went from being the least popular at the start to winning it! Tom was my favourite for a long time but sadly his one sided alliance with Jen was his downfall and Shooby really screwed up the game for all the newbies. I could tell Tom was pretty annoyed about those two things and I don’t blame him as he would have done well otherwise, he would have certainly made it into the final.

I think Raven was amazing although the flirting was a bit cringe (really felt sorry for her interpreter there!!) I am in awe of how she managed to keep on top of all the conversations in the final, I can only imagine how difficult those kind of situations with lots of people taking over each other must be for deaf people.
