For fans of reality TV, a new series has entered the world of streaming services. “Neighbors,” an American television series, was released on Feb. 13.
Directed by Harrison Fishman and Dylan Redford, “Neighbors” aims to bring out the world’s craziness by showcasing real-life conflicts over mundane topics between various neighbors and neighborhoods.
At the moment, only six episodes are released. Most episodes in the series are structured neatly, revolving around a disagreement between two neighbors, such as property lines, privacy rights, landscaping and animals.
In episode six, San Diego resident Danny wishes to wear only a Speedo, but his neighbors don’t approve.
In just 30 minutes, viewers feel as if they are immersed in this conflict, largely due to A24’s cinematic production.
What makes “Neighbors” stand out among other reality TV docuseries is the layout of each conflict.
Instead of presenting each neighbor as the hero or villain, “Neighbors” structures every conflict in a way that presents viewers with their own conflict: choosing who to side with.
Backstories of both neighbors are presented along with their current perspective on the situation.
Each episode ends with a mediation, but whether it is successful varies. In some cases, one person comes out as a winner, yet at other times, it ends in an unresolved conflict.
The steak sauce to the neighborly beef is the personalities of each neighbor involved.
From former male strippers and OnlyFans assistants to conspiracy theorists, each person featured in every episode makes viewers question how these people were selected.
Rather than having a traditional casting call, individuals with an ongoing dispute are encouraged to contact A24, as revealed on the “Neighbors” Instagram account.
There’s no clear winner or loser with disputes. Instead, it’s a mess of stories that escalated from a small, insignificant thing.
Living near someone can be both a gift and a curse, regardless of it being next door, like in “Neighbors,” or roommates in a dorm at NIU.
If you and your roommate are facing conflict over something, reach out to your community advisor and let them know. The last thing that you would want is a casting call from “Neighbors.”
