The Circle: 11 Moments That Prove Why It Should Be Your Next Reality TV Obsession

Despite a big marketing push at the start, last year’s series of The Circle ended up passing most people by – but now it’s back on Channel 4, and this time it deserves your attention. 

The reality show, which returned for its second series on Tuesday night, sees individuals living in isolated flats, who interact with one another via a purpose-built social media platform called The Circle.

Players don’t get to meet each other face-to-face, instead communicating through the profiles they share through The Circle, meaning they can effectively catfish the competition in order to be voted the most popular and win £100,000.
