SO GOOD, IT’S UnREAL
WHY YOU SHOULD BE WATCHING SEASON 2 OF THE US COMEDY-DRAMA
You might remember UnREAL, the US comedy drama that aired on Lifetime last year, which took a scathing, no-holdsbarred look behind the scenes of a Bachelor-style reality TV dating show called Everlasting. It’s now moved to Amazon Prime after winning Most Exciting New Series in last year’s Critics’ Choice Awards. Here’s all you need to know about the new season.

No – it’s a fictional scripted show about the making of a fictional reality show.
