Selling the OC

These shallow people claiming to represent Newport Beach are just transplants trying to change it to fit their own vanity. I couldn't afford to live where I grew up, so I had to move away from my friends and family. Am I bitter? Yup. Now these people get a show glamorizing their form of gentrification.

Please stop giving people like this shows? I would love to see the realities of the hustle of actual real estate agents. That would be interesting. Not a show of people getting in and out of their Ferrari's.

Why do reviews need to contain 600 characters? I ran out of things to talk about in this shallow show.

Alex Hall and Polly make it impossible to watch more than half an episode at a time unless you fast forward while they're on screen. The mean girl energy all for the sake of attention is despicable. I like real estate so I had hopes that there would be actual real estate in this show, at least on the level of "Selling Sunset" which granted, isn't much. But it's almost non existent here.

The hypocrisy starts with the title. They aren't selling anything except themselves and badly at that.

The fact that the main focus is on the two most toxic people rather than anyone or anything else tells you all you need to know about it.

Don't waste your time on this one.

What is the purpose of this show? Watching toxic people argue ... with occasional clips of luxury real estate?

"Selling Sunset" is kind of a guilty pleasure, so I watched this show hoping it would be a similar experience. It wasn't. The show is too focused on the petty squabbles of a handful of immature young agents. Many of them are new to selling real estate in OC.

Orange County also doesn't have world-famous iconic locations and celebrity-connections like Los Angeles. So the homes don't have that extra flair that homes in "Selling Sunset" or "Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles" do.

The show can still work - but the people have to be more interesting and there needs to more of the high-stakes nature of the biz: getting these coveted listings, negotiating high-dollar deals and all the wild / crazy problems that come up at the last minute.

But that's not what they've done. So for now, if you like watching human train-wrecks slug it out, this is your show. Given all the poor reviews I've seen, I hope the producers don't think everyone who watched season 1 will show up for season 2. This show needs some re-tooling.

The rating is > 1 for the real stars - the beautiful homes in OC.

Like all of us nowadays, I enjoy a little trash TV. I can turn to Bravo and completely turn off my brain for a good hour or two every week. But this show is something past trashy TV. The people on this show are so vapid and rude to one another it's actually difficult to watch the whole way through. Polly and Alex Hall are so "mean girl" it's sad to watch adult women act that way. This show is really scrapping the bottom of the barrel. It's another sign that Netflix is just churning out trash content and it's really time to consider whether it's even worth having a subscription. At this point we should all cancel everything and read the books on our shelves that have been collecting dust for years.

Love love love Selling Sunset. The women are gorgeous, stylish and classy whether they like each other or and they are professional in front of clients and Brett and Jason. We watched Selling OC hoping to see glamorous homes, the yachts, the cars, the glitter... some of that we got (thank you!) but the mean spirited drama, gaslighting, bullying was unwanted (shame on you Alex Hall, Polly!). Similar to RHOC to much focus on drama for dramas sake. Hopefully Netflix takes the trash out next season as bullying and sl*tshaming women is not entertaining viewing.
