INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Terrace House& (a co-production between Netflix and Fuji Television) is back, and it hasn''t changed much since we reviewed it last
year.
As with previous seasons, &Terrace House: Tokyo 2019-2020& features six cast members (three men and three women, mostly in their
twenties) who all live in a house together
Rather than manufacturing competition or drama, the show largely allows everyone to go about their normal lives, while also tentatively
exploring romance with their castmates.
On the latest episode of the Original Content podcast, we talk about our impressions of the new cast
Then Anthony grills Darrell (who watched every episode) about why he continues to find the reality TV franchise so addictive.
Apparently it
boils down to the fact that the formula works: It a beautifully-produced show, with a likable, attractive cast
And the producers continue to resist any temptation to ramp up the drama to match American TV.
We also discuss NBCUniversal announcement
that its upcoming streaming service will be called Peacock, and it will feature a reboot of &Battlestar Galactica.
