2020 is turning out to be spectacular for Netflix. The streaming giant has kicked off the new year with a plethora of shows, one of the most interesting being 'The Circle', which is an adaptation of a British game show of the same name. Ditching regular release pattern, Netflix has spaced the episodes - a total of 12 - through most of January. Eight episodes have already aired and the remaining four will drop on January 15, Wednesday.

How does 'The Circle' work exactly?

Contestants are couped up in one-bedroom apartments with only a voice-activated platform 'The Circle' at their disposal through which they are to communicate with other contestants. The interesting bit is they can be whoever they want to be and no one will ever know until of course they are out of the game. Periodically, the least influential contestants will be eliminated who will then have to leave the building. The winner walks away with a $100,000 cash prize. 

The first 8 episodes already have fans hooked and they have already picked their favorites. Meanwhile, the previous episode ended with Shubham and Joey being tasked to save two people instead of eliminating, which is a major twist and might change the order of the game for existing players. 

Meanwhile, fans are more than thrilled about the show and have given their verdict on social media. 

"Alright watching #TheCircle and I haven't felt like this since flavor of love in middle school. Oh my gooooooddd," a user tweeted. "I freaking love #TheCircle. Alex gives me the creeps. My favorites are Sammie and Shooby," another posted. "I never thought I’d be so invested in another reality show but then comes #TheCircle," a fan expressed. "Wait, is next week the final episode of #TheCircle? It seems so soon! I mean, Ed & Tammy have only been in there for a little while!" a viewer shared online.
