Binge UnREAL on Netflix
Binge UnREAL on Netflix – A behind-the-scenes look at the chaos surrounding the production of a dating competition program.
Reality shows are often full of drama, but in the case of dating show `Everlasting’, there may be more drama behind the scenes than there is in front of the camera.
Executive producer Quinn commands her staff to get dramatic and outrageous footage for the show, which forces young producer Rachel to manipulate the relationships among the contestants to get the show’s final cut to match Quinn’s vision of it.
Binge UnREAL on Netflix – As show star Adam searches for his perfect mate, the show’s staff members deal with their own romantic predicaments on the set.
Rachel’s ex-boyfriend is one of the show’s cameramen, and his current fiancee, Lizzie, is the makeup artist.
Storyline for UnREAL on Netflix
Shiri Appleby stars as Rachel, a producer on a faux-Bachelor show called Everlasting.
She had a notorious meltdown the previous season, but she’s back now — not recovered, exactly, but unable to stay away.
See, she’s incredibly good at manipulating the various bachelorettes into saying horrible things, or playing up giant moments, or going against their better nature.
And she’ll do whatever it takes, because she knows she can edit all the context away, and the finished product of the season will simply be a patchwork quilt of betrayed weeping and misguided lusty gazes.
Particularly since Rachel works for Quinn (Constance Zimmer), who has even less regard for the participants’ emotional well-being or ostensible reputations.
She’s brash and nasty, but don’t hate the player, hate Everlasting.
But you can’t quite, because we also get to know the participants, the women trying to “win” and “the Suitor” Adam, a British hotel heir trying to improve his scandal-plagued image. UnREAL plays with what we know are the “types” on The Bachelor (or Top Model or The Apprentice or Top Chef, or a variety of other shows).
There are glimpses of how this will all look when the show — the show within the show, that is — airs, and it’s of course weird and grotesque and familiar.
But UnREAL is much more about the behind the scenes, about how the women actually are, about how Rachel actually is, too.
For a show that can be very cynical and very biting, there’s a real humanity to the series, too
Look at all these sad, broken people.
