Reality television has gotten pretty wild over the years. There are shows such as Real World that make random people live together for three months where drinking brings out all kinds of drama, then we have series of people's weirdest habits, plastic surgery routines, rich housewives and so much more to name.
Netflix is taking it up a notch with their upcoming series of a twisted reality show where 70 actors are all involved in a scheme to make one man think that he "needs" to kill another man. The Push will be hosted by mentalist and illusionist Derren Brown who helps cast a web of lies to make the non-actor Chris think that he needs to push a man off a ledge. “I need him to feel like there’s only one way out when he’s told to commit murder," Derren says in the trailer.
"Brown exposes the psychological secrets of obedience and social compliance," the description of the trailer reads. "He expertly lifts the lid on the terrifying truth that, when confronted with authority, our natural instinct is to unflinchingly obey without question – to such an extent that even the most moral people can be made to commit the most horrendous acts, simply because they are told to do so."
The Push hits Netflix on February 27th. Are you guys into it?
