10 Hatke Reality Shows On Netflix With Loads Of Drama To Keep You Occupied At Home


It’s time to confess that most of us, if not all, share a guilty pleasure for drama. Whether it’s a show, gossip, movies or basically anything, if it has some drama, it will have our complete attention. So, since most of us are home with the motive to socially distancing ourselves, we do need some sort of respite to pull our attention away from the grim reality, even if it’s for a little while. Hence, we have made a list of 10 such absolutely dramatic reality TV shows so that you don’t have to Google. Read on!

1. The Circle

So, the basic premise of this British reality TV show follows a competition from all walks of life who compete with each other to win the ultimate prize. But there’s a catch - they can be anyone they want to be and during the entirety of the show they live in an apartment building but they’re not allowed to meet each other. Now, if this ain’t the perfect recipe for drama, what is?! So, make sure to keep your snacking options near!

The Kardashians need absolutely no introductions to us, the family is crazy famous for the show and of course their social media presence and well, the list goes on. If you still haven’t seen this popular series, it’s high time you start watching it and explore what’s the whole hype about!

4. Nailed It!

The next show on the list follows a competition between three amateur bakers, and the one closest to the end result gets to take home a cash prize. None of these are professionally trained, which means the end results are always something absolutely crazy (to put it politely). And let’s admit it, we all love to see people struggle in the kitchen, probably because it’s relatable (for most of us) and it makes for an excellent dose of laughter! So, if you feel you’re the only one who can’t bake, well, you need to watch this show because it will certainly prove you wrong.

And yes, you get a fair share of these absolutely colourful folks with the craziest ideologies and helluva drama! Keep your ice creams handy for this one, folks!

A show that’s won multiple Emmy Awards is definitely a must-watch and has to be there on this list.
