FBoy Island | HBO Max Reality Series - Blu-ray Forum

Quote:

Putting a new spin on the reality dating series concept “FBoy Island” ships 24 men to a tropical island where three women are waiting to find love. Half of the men are “nice guys” also looking for a real relationship, while the others are self-proclaimed “f-boys” competing for a cash prize. The women will navigate the dating pool together in the hopes of finding a lasting connection and avoid the f-boys they’ve so hard tried to leave behind. Comedian Nikki Glaser will host and executive produce alongside Elan Gale, Jason Goldberg, Ben Bitonti and Sam Dean.

“FBoy Island” will premiere on HBO Max on July 29 as part of the streamer’s summer slate of unscripted television. (*)

Streaming services churning out “reality” garbage is really bad news.

What do you mean by "bad news?"

Get used to more stuff like this. As soon as the dust begins to settle on the streaming wars, we are going to be getting a lot less scripted content with high production values, and a lot more dross like this. Especially when HBO Max sees they get more viewers for this than they do stuff like In the Heights and No Sudden Move.

What in the what.

No surprised, but still disappointing that people like to watch trash like this (pretty trash, but still trash).

Oh. That's not necessarily true. I work in the industry within the creative marketing side of things and believe me, the money flows very well in this town. There will always be enough money for good content, quality content, and trash content. Cheers.

For all you fans of cerebral, challenging tv, the first 3 eps are up.

Pretty wild direction to take the newest series of American Horror Story…

I had to read a Hollywood Reporter story about this to understand what "fboy" stands for....

I’ve no clue what it means and I’m not sure I want to. Anyways expect more of this on HBO Max when Discovery comes in. They love that reality crap.

It stands for Freedom Boys, they're an offshoot of the Proud Boys.

Thebunk · 08-01-2021, 02:35 PM

I know the pandemic has hit a lot of companies but what the hell has happened to HBO? It really has been all downhill since GoT Season 5ish (save for a few bright spots like Succession).
