The Circle

Daniel The Circle Season 3 Episode 1 Circle Did You Miss Me Premiere

The Circle has, since its inception, heavily relied on one or two gay cast members to liven the show up and keep it going. For season 3, that cast member was Daniel and while he isn’t a professional comedian, like host Michelle Buteau, there are episodes of season 3 he is going line for line with her. Which makes it so, in the early episodes, before alliances grow strong and become a major factor in who got blocked, Daniel kept things interesting while the game was still tame.

Afterlife Of The Party: Midori Francis as Lisa

Lisa (Midori Francis)

For those who caught Dash & Lily, it was already established Midori Francis is an adorable new face to the Netflix brand who could easily become part of their future synergy strategies. However, in Afterlife of the Party, I’d say she proved herself to be the kind of actor needed as part of the up and comers: those who can just as much stand on their own as they can support another actor in a more prominent role. This isn’t to shade or downplay Victoria Justice, who has been working for decades in the industry. However, for those familiar with Justice’s work, it is her co-stars that have often made what she is in shine – see VicTORIous. But, rather than use Justice as a stepping stone, as so many of her peers have done, Francis made Afterlife of the Party mutually beneficial, while giving herself time to shine.

Which leads us to hope, even if Dash & Lily doesn’t get a second season, despite winning multiple Daytime Emmys, we’ll at least see Midori Francis join many of Netflix’s young actors who pop up at least once a year on the service.
