Selling sunset is an easy watch. It's less about real estate and more about the life of the real estate agents set against a beautiful backdrop. Can get a bit like a mix between a school playground and a pantomime at times. However, decent characters like Maya (who clearly couldn't care less about anyone other than her own family) and Amanza (who has real issues to deal with) add some grounding and realism to the programme. It's going to be difficult to keep the stories fresh going forward, as these agents have latched on to using the series to bolster their own personal brands and reality has clearly taken a back seat. Mainly watched season 4 for those who are slowly realising how lucrative this show can be for them and letting their desperation to be included shine through (mainly Davina and the blind person who is styling her, Emma and whoever is (not) dressing her, Romain and his sudden transformation from pastry chef/Model into a Project Manager - stand by health and safety disaster).

I liked this show as it's an easy watch and very pretty visually. Whilst it does play a lot on easy (sometimes lazy) stereotypes, there is a continual level of fairly adult humour which is fun but not always easy to catch. Silvie is by far the best character, though mainly because she is multi layered, not stereotypical and probably the most realistic. This show is at its best when it delves into the layers of the characters to reveal something not seen before. Worth watching and you'll soon be binge watching both series.

Rubbish. Nothing actually happens in it, except a lot of people shouting at each other. There are some great examples of how not to do things (how not to run a business, how not to treat your staff, how not run a meeting). The series finished on the same low note that it started on.
