Finally, a new Netflix reality show that isn’t cringey

For anyone who’s been keeping track of all the myriad Netflix releases each week over the course of this year, if I asked you to prepare a list of the titles that immediately stand out to you as the most cringey, I bet I’d have a pretty good idea of what that list would largely consist of. Many of them would likely be Netflix reality series, like Is It Cake? Dating and related.

It’s the nettlesome tradeoff that affects many of the significant content decisions inside Netflix: Make what we think passes the quality test, or make shows that people are guaranteed to watch (even if they’re garbage).

Ok, so it’s probably not worded exactly like that inside the company, but you get the idea. The Netflix of today is home to everything from strong, top-notch fare — the newly released Swedish crime drama Snabba CashMarilyn Monroe’s movie, which will be released in May, is another great example. Blonde, starring Ana de Armas — as well as low-brow tripe like every conceivable twist on the dating genre that you can dream up.

All of Netflix’s quality fare has to live alongside — and compete for your attention against — the guilty pleasure Netflix reality shows, including titles like Too Hot to Handle, Love is blind?, and Parisian Cooking.

But, thankfully, the Netflix reality shows aren’t all about romantic entanglements.
