Lucifer 

Lucifer season 6 premiered on Netflix on Friday, Sept. 10. Unfortunately, this is the final season of the popular Netflix original series.

The Circle

The Circle is a reality competition series based around social media with the concept that “anyone can be anyone in The Circle.”  It has been compared to other reality series like Big Brother, Catfish and The Real World. 

Competitors can only communicate via a social media/messaging app, called The Circle, and it is a game of strategy and manipulation where the objective is to become popular within the community. The contestants flirt, friend, tick off and compete in challenges to earn the prize as the top influencer.  With a cash prize of $100,000, who can blame them?

Michelle Buteau returned as host in season 3, which premiered this week. There are eight new contestants in the 4 part season that has new episodes airing each Wednesday.

The Circle was renewed for seasons 4 and 5. You’d better check this one out.
