The popularity of the show should be studied in school. How it went from obscure lifetime trash, to Netflix trending topics, memes and think pieces.

[cecilia_tallis]

probably because not as many people are trusting Lifetime to give them trendy content.

A solid theory. “A Lifetime movie” or “A Lifetime series” probably carries a negative connotation for a certain demographic.

[aleksie]

That's what I figured, too.

Mainly because of Penn Badgley = Gossip Girl tbh. Also because the show wasn’t THAT bad and had a plot that logically made sense and a narrative about Nice Guys and twenty something millennial NYC girls and social media that was mildly new and interesting. It was the right amount of deliberate trashy + wannabe pretentious/artsy.

[frankthesheep]

It had all of that on lifetime and no one cared till the Netflix hype machine got their hands on it.

[musicnkisses]

Because it was on Lifetime. UnReal could have been huge if it were on a different network.

UnReal could have been huge if it didnt turn to shit after season 1

*if it wasn't helmed by Marti Noxon

I started watching it on Lifetime and then it was on netflix and everyone became obsessed with it lmao I felt weird cause I had already seen it.

[frankthesheep]

Same here - lol.

[lolzerz]

because no other shows know how to portray social media interestingly, with the exception of black mirror.

edit- also ingrid goes west

[cecilia_tallis]

loved Ingrid Goes West

[frankthesheep]

Not sure we are making the same point. I'm talking about the difference in perception from when it was aired on Lifetime VS the move to Netflix.

[lolzerz]

im guess im just saying why the show became popular. but with your point.. its cause no one watches cable anymore

[frankthesheep]

True. But it could have just been dumped on Netflix like many programmes are. But Netflix created a whole hype around it that changed the perception of a Lifetime branded show and that is what I find fascinating.
