Terrace House is a Japanese reality show kinda like early seasons of The Real World, it's a bunch of young people living in a house together and having relationships and stuff. What really sets it apart is how low-key it is, like the kids on it generally get along and drama is small but meaningful and everyone does what they can to resolve it. They date but it's not fast, like it's kind funny how long it takes them to admit that they like each other. It's extremely soothing.
The best part tho is they cut from this extremely low key stuff to this panel of comedians and tv personalities who take turns making fun of the kids and pump way out of proportion the things going on. It's like a room of drunk aunts and uncles at a family reunion. The contrast is intentional and it's really funny.
Anyway Boys & Girls in the City is the good one, Aloha State isn't as good. Here's a good overview.
