The Baldwins

Two rich narcissists meet and have lots of babies (cared for by invisible spanish speaking nannies they called "godmothers"). Then the famous husband carelessly fires a gun and kills a lady. So to rehabilitate his reputation and get good roles again, he makes a reality tv show about him and his crazy younger wife who is super boring and empty. Their kids act ugly and unhinged and you just feel bad that they will never know a normal childhood. How and why they brought a camera crew into the kids lives can only be answered on way: for their own egos.

Full disclosure, I have not been able to make it through the full first episode. Alec is old and maybe has some mild dementia, his wife has a real grating voice and reminds me of a borderline personality disordered Karen, and the kids weren't taught how to just be normal. It is also incredibly boring, sincerely it is just not an interesting show.

What a disgraceful choice by tlc to air this slop. Needs to be cancelled and tlc and we as a culture need to do better than watching disordered rich people be boring.

It's a complete put on. The real story would have been more interesting. Hillary from Boston, living in NYC, meets Alec Baldwin at a restaurant where he was a regular trying to pickup Sarma, the owner. She pretended to be Spanish, which he was gaga over Salma Hyeck for, and it worked. But now Hillary was faced with keeping up the grift after she hooked him in. The grift was working, why even Alec said his wife was from Spain but then she was exposed a few years back. Not only was she exposed for the grift, but also for causing speculation that Carmen was her only natural birth, the rest were bought through surrogates. When she was exposed for the grift, and even making the cover of Hola, she blames it on the media for making the mistake about her heritage. She's know as the Hamptons Rachel Dolzen. This is the reality show people want to watch.

Honestly, I watched this show for the trainwreck and it didn't disappoint. What an absolutely wild thing to do, so out of touch with reality, and yet I can't look away. If you love to hate-watch rich people being insane and thinking they're being relatable, you will love this show.

I would be remiss if I didn't mention how the whole thing appears to be in an attempt to gain good faith for Alec, and the discussion of the shooting is hard to watch. I genuinely did have sympathy for him, I don't doubt the shooting has seriously affected him, but making a TV show off of it is absolutely wild. I also don't know if this show would be any good if you weren't already aware of the Baldwins respective scandals.

Is probably more exciting than this mish mash. Alec plays the victim in his own life story from his divorce from Kim Basinger to the shooting and death on the movie he produced and starred in, to the horde of children and animals he lives with. He has OCD but did not check the gun, he suffers from PTSD but was able to father an 8th. The couple allude to a tragedy that will always be with them, but their actions and this money grab belie their words.

This is no Sound of Music, Cheaper by the Dozen, or Brady Bunch. Alec is miscast and Hilaria has no charisma.

I have seen more than enough. Pasadena.

Give it a rest - take a breath. She just talks and talks and talks. It's not the "Hilaria" show. She never ever stops...I actually feel bad for Alec. She's exhausting. Maybe her endless push up bras are squeezing her way too tight or she's using the platform to get her own tv show and start a line of yoga wear. That is the vibe I'm getting. Alec is just along for the ride with a comment here and there.

The kids are adorable, though they are primarily in the background with the exception of the eldest daughter who is oldest looking 10 year old I have ever seen. There's a lot of fake nails, makeup, earrings (3 or 4 hoops per ear, I lost count). I think we all know what Mama Hilaria is grooming her mini-me for.

Hilaria...girl be quiet, observe your kids, don't be their producer/agent. Let others around get a word in and stay out of the limelight it really is not for you.
