From a technical standpoint, these shows are actually quite accomplished--they look great, the editing is slick, the graphics fit the theme, the sound is top-notch and if it isn't, there's helpful subtitles.
The producers offer sly winks of commentary on the verbal vapidity displayed by the shows' stars; one of the housewives unselfconsciously proclaims how hard it is to be a mom with an entire staff of nannies, organizers, and cooks? Cut to a shot of that same housewife relaxing by the pool with a mai tai while her kids run rampant, nannies playing catch up.
But the content--which is comprised of over-privileged, over-indulged women prattling on about imagined slights and other sub-high-school-level arguments and bouts of drama, can not be easily digested unless you're willing to allow yourself to enjoy digging into serious personality defects and silly misunderstandings. If you can get something out of that, these are the shows for you. If you can't, write blog posts while it's on in the background!
There's not much else on anyway.
A semi-regular blog dedicated to watching out for the best stuff available--on any screen! Movie, TV, Mobile, Computer, Out-Of-Home, you name it, we'll watch it, and tell you what you should watch and what you shouldn't!
