UnREAL
TV Show • 2015 • Drama
ReportSynopsis
Set against the backdrop of a hit dating competition show, "UnREAL" is led by Rachel, a young staffer whose sole job is to manipulate her relationships with and among the contestants to get the vital dramatic and outrageous footage the program's dispassionate executive producer demands. What ensues is a humorous, yet vexing, look at what happens in the world of unscripted television, where being a contestant can be vicious and producing it is a whole other reality.

It is important to note that in Season 2, police pull over a car driven by a black man. Police brutality is prevalent. A black man is shot but does not die.

This show is like Shameless meets reality TV drama. Pretty much every episode contains sex or oral sex. I hate it as an asexual woman but the drama and storylines keep me glued to the show.
