Anyone interested in talking about Terrace House?

February 25, 2017 6:32 AM

I've just started watching the Japanese reality TV show Terrace House: Boys and Girls in the City. It has been described as a show that 'fixes what's broken in reality TV' as it 'finds meaning in mundane human interaction'. Are there any MeFites who have been watching it and want to discuss? Episode-by-episode or whole-series?

Oops, I should say that all episodes are available on Netflix.

I haven't got around to watching it yet, but this might finally reel me in.

I'm about eight episodes in and I find it scarily watchable, like, how-the-heck-did-30-minutes-pass-that-fast watchable

Still not sure how we'd go about structuring discussion of the show, though. There are 46 episodes overall, and castmates come and go throughout, so I feel like although episode-by-episode threads might be a bit much, having only one thread for the whole series would definitely be too little. the discussion would be best broken up into chunks of episodes—anywhere between 2 and 5 at a time. Not sure if the mods would be keen on that though, we'd probably have to ask first.
