The charts no longer look anything like the old reality TV giants that could once crack them. Rhythm + Flow (Netflix) strides into this unpromising wasteland like the T rex finally making its entrance in Jurassic Park. and Chance the Rapper, who source contestants in their home towns of New York, Atlanta and Chicago. And then there’s Cardi B, who has the air of a woman permanently delighted by the sheer simple wonder of everything she sees and hears. It makes older talent shows look outdated beyond repair, as if they are still on the hunt for Britain’s Next Vaudeville Superstar.
