This seems like a smart move to me. Cheap to produce and with a potential for big payout, throwing a bunch of reality TV spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks is probably a good idea for Netflix.<p>Plus, if any of them are as good as Terrace House, this seems destined to succeed. If you share my guilty pleasure of trash reality television, Netflix&#x27;s Terrace House is best in class right now.<p>My only concern is how reality TV mixes with the binge watching phenomenon. Programs like Bachelor and Survivor succeed in part because they&#x27;re a weekly event, and not a big block of drama.
