Reality shows as a genre that claims to be documenting unscripted ‘real life’ situations. This genre is often adorned with unfamiliar people put together in one place to spew out a palate of drama. The genre gained considerable traction, with big franchises like Big Brother, Fear Factor, and Idols becoming globally famous.
These were not only internalised by several cultures, but they also highlighted niche features and characteristics of people around the globe. That being said, you can still not study anthropology with these as case studies. Although these shows claim to be ‘unscripted’, it is questionable whether they really live up to it.
However, these shows are a delight to indulge in. Especially on low days when one can switch off their active brains to dive into some much-needed me time. For each of these shows, the contestants (be they celebrities or not) face several challenges. The series often revolve around certain themes. The themes often align with what viewers want to watch, something to relate with. Whether that is drama around love, fashion, or merely just a group of unknown individuals mingling with each other.
Do you need a much-needed break from rom-coms? But still, find yourself wanting to see people fall in love. Maybe you want to watch a group of newbies in the industry battle it out to find out who has the best fashion sense. If you are looking for anything above and more, Netflix has a palpable list of reality shows to choose from. However, we have curated just the list for you to go through if you are looking for some good time-wasting
