The Circle - Season 6!

[55Sainz]

I've just clocked on Netflix that the circle is back on Wednesday 17th April!! Woohoo!! I'm so excited for this!

Woo hoo indeed!!!

I just hope the producers won’t have engineered it all too much. We know things don’t happen at the pace they’re shown on TV - but I do want the narrative arc to at least appear natural.

Hope for some interesting not-minor-celebrity participants too, of course.

Looks like a different set as the preview showed balconies where the contestants can actually sit!! Oh, and the description states Atlanta too, so wonder if they have scrapped the UK location now too!

Ooo wonderful. That will help pass the time.

Ok I'm loving it so far!! I do like Cassie!

Oh no, I looked at it yesterday and saw it said new episodes on the 24th and thought that was the start date. Il have to catch up over the weekend

Tried first episode of new season late last night - fell asleep halfway through.

Hard to tell if exhaustion or sheer boredom. So many noisily childlike adults, so much SHOUTING at the screen.

Hmm … Perhaps it just doesn’t work this far from lockdowns?

I'm just watching the first episode after seeing it on Gogglebox.

Kyle remind me so much of Adam Sandler.

I've always loved this, but I think @MetaDaughter might be right about it being too far since lockdowns. I assume that's why the UK version was ditched.

Caught up in time for new episodes.

I hate the AI hunt.

Too many catfish I can't keep them all straight.

Hope some new people balance the cast a bit better.

I pushed myself through the first three - but the SHOUTING does not abate.

Were it not for Myles’s nose I might have to give up … Lauren’s wardrobe and manner are also just about bearable. The rest can go hang.

The AI is hilarious though! The way it theorises at length using all the longest words in the dictionary - and then spits out some short sharp slang on screen. Wonder what it will spend the money on if it wins … 🤔😂

I am loving this season so far. The AI thing is hilarious. I think humanity is doomed if Max really is totally autonomous.

It's great when one of them says 'Max is so real, I love him' then it shows a shot of the box on the table looking all smug.

Ok, I’m warming to it a little now - am up to Ep 7, with one more to go in this tranche. (5 at once is definitely more satisfactory than 3.) It’s easy, if not terribly exciting, viewing - they’re all so blandly likeable. Loved the shots of the on site launderette - don’t recall seeing that before. (Not a spoiler - nothing hangs on it.)

It’s only that In the past it always felt as if they truly were locked in the building like all of us a few years back - but now I’m watching it and wondering why they’re not popping out for coffee or going shopping or doing the school run. So it feels a bit weird and artificial.

And surely Kyle is taking his dog out for some exercise every day?

Maybe they’re all spending normal days coming and going - and just being filmed in the apartments at specified hours?! (Ages ago there was a mildly fascinating article somewhere about how the show is made - and how loooooooong it takes to put together the on-screen messaging. It ruined the illusion of instantaneous chat - so I just pretended I hadn’t read it.)

Where can I view this please? I'm in the uk. Thanx.

It’s on Netflix.

@noblegiraffe thanks👍🏻❤️

Omg i had no idea this was on!! Thanks 😍😍

Maybe they’re all spending normal days coming and going

I dunno, Myles seems to have completed two large jigsaws so I’m pretty sure they have a lot of time in the apartments.

I'm struggling to get invested, I've not really warmed to any of them yet.
Probably liked the women they booted the most so far.

Myles is a brainbox though … 😍

What is this? Photo:

Can’t read the brand label but it looks like an outdoor kitchen / barbecue type thing. Why would they have something like that if the Circke participants are not all meeting together? Do they go out one by one to barbecue food? Or have I mis-identified the thing?

Currently watching Ep 10 - no spoilers in photo I hope.

It's normal to have communal outdoor kitchens in apartment blocks, especially ones that don't have full kitchens. It's probably just there but not used for filming. Though maybe the crew have bbqs....

Ah, that would explain it - of course they’re using a block that other people presumably live in?

I did wonder if the crew were enjoying it!

I can't cope with the constant shouting ive never watched before so didn't know if it was normal. Paul annoys me the most

I feel the shouting has got worse. And the infantile spelling out of everything. If this were the first series I was seeing, I’d probably pass …

I started watching this, then got bored, then just picked it up again today and I’m up to date. warning spoilers in this post if you’re not up to date I was disappointed the AI didn’t play until the end. I would have liked to see if it won and maybe then the prize money could have been divided equally between all the participants in the final. Or donated to charity.
Olivia and Lauren are my favourites. I thought it was horrible when Lauren (I think inadvertently) turned the group on Autumn.
What I don’t understand is Jordan’s beef with Myles. I have a feeling Myles won’t be staying and I don’t think that’s fair as I think he’s been making genuine connections rather than Jordan who is just playing dirty.

Also does anyone else get really irritated by all the hashtags?! Give it a rest guys (not to mention all the shouting and screaming) but there’s still something so compelling about this programme for me!
