Japanese reality TV about 6 young people living together as they figure their lives out. No challenges, no prizes. Just strangers living together, trying to make friends, working or looking for work, and sometimes finding romance. Tonally so different than American reality TV – way more grounded and way less flashy and theatrical. And the best part? Anyone can leave whenever they want and go back to their normal life, at which point they bring in a new person to fill out the 6.
I wasn’t trying to learn Japanese when watching but I definitely picked up multiple phrases pretty quickly!

Edit: don’t watch the latest one (Tokyo). I’m not sure which ones are up on Netflix now; the earlier ones are good but may not be available. If anyone needs a hand figuring out how/where to watch, lmk
