Die Queen von Versailles: Das Mega-Bauprojekt

I realize this show was made a year ago, but it still feels like a bad fit as the world struggles with inflation. The original documentary was thought provoking but this show is disgusting and demonstrates that Mrs Siegel leaned nothing from her brush with "poverty" 10 years ago. Instead it shows the vacuousness and willful wastefulness of this woman by attempting to glamorize a lifestyle that isn't the envy of the audience but rather the subject of its disdain. 5 minutes in you'll realize it's like a toddler was handed millions and given carte blanche. I couldn't make it through an entire episode. There is nothing redeeming about this show.

I can't decide if that makes it better or worse but for me at least it makes it entertaining instead of sad. And this isn't simply a monument to excess, it's built to be basically a modern day palace where the entire multi-generational family will live for centuries. Sadly it's extremely difficult to find craftsmen to build something like that these days, especially enough of them to complete this home properly in their lifetime. Which is probably the real lesson to be learned here.

If Jackie thinks her over the top clueless antics are funny to most people she really needs to read some reviews here, a lot more people would like her real personality more. When her daughter died she spoke very eloquently, set up charities and put in real work in her daughter's name.

What a desperately unhappy woman and her desperately pointless house. Why anyone wanted to make this is the question of the day. Probaly this strange, unattractive and weird woman paid someone to make it and paid to have it promoted as something, though I am not sure what we should call it. Watching beer bottles falling down the stairs would be more interesting and more honest. This woman has solittle self-awareness that at best we can wonder about her sanity and mental health. Arguably one of the most useless video projects ever filmed.

If you enjoy drinking games, may I suggest taking a drink/sip/shot every time someone on the show says "morning kitchen" I assure you will be sloshed halfway through the second episode. But, unfortunately it gets much worse as the series moves forward.

I'd also like to add that it seems very fishy to me that David (husband) is in the hospital the whole time. I only say this because he actually sued Sundance and the director of the original film claiming defamation. He lost that case as the only defamation (about himself) was things he actually said in the film.

Overall, I just think the whole show is sad (constantly insisting on 10 chairs at breakfast tables etc) as the kids are all moving away from home age and the 86 year old husband won't be around forever. So who is the self proclaimed "Queen" really doing this for?? I'll let you make your own mind up about that.

I liked the original documentary and always wondered how the house turned out. I love watching the new show as they try to finish everything up.

People are being too hard on the show. It's an easy show to watch and follow. I think it's interesting to see how that level of wealth lives. And their an enjoyable loving family.
