We unpack whether the show still fits the reality TV genre—or if it’s starting to resemble something closer to a true crime documentary.We also explore how modern reality TV blurs the line between storytelling and real life, and why some viewers are becoming uncomfortable with the direction certain shows are taking.Along the way, we compare it to other franchises like Married at First Sight, The Bachelorette, Summer House, and Vanderpump Rules to discuss how reality television has evolved—and what audiences might actually want from the genre now.
