Made in Chelsea

I like the cinematography (and filming locations), cast, and the storylines are mostly entertaining. (Some episodes feel like 'filler' episodes, but that's to be expected with shows that air so frequently.) I think the format & structure of the show really works, and continues to be entertaining over the years. In particular - I find that a lot of the conversations are relatable and are reminiscent of conversations I've had with friends, and situations that have occurred in reality (especially when I was at uni). So there's a lot of interesting themes for people that have an outgoing social life. The only advice I would give, is that a lot of the relationships are starting to feel like incest i.e. they're all dating each others ex's. I'm not sure if this means they need to re-jig the cast a little. But at the moment I like most of the cast members.

As a final note - I think it really skews the rating when *some* people that clearly don't like reality TV, come here to give it a bad rating. Specifically, the content of their feedback is rarely beneficial or constructive.

There's nothing like yet another heavily scripted reality series of the over privalaged rich kids whose life seems to revolve around parties and hooking up with each other's exes and causing pathetic dramas over it!

Not sure who this show is suppose to attract as it has zero redeeming qualities and the cast could do with a Real reality kick as in respecting what they have been handed on a plate and actually do something worthwhile with it instead of the superficial 💩 that they deem important

This is a structured-reality show on E4. It's about a large group of rich, privately-educated young adults who live in West London.

They love having a large number of short-term relationships and are very keen on cheating during those relationships by having casual sex with other people. They also enjoy a lot of casual sex whilst single. Why then, do we never see them in bed with each other - let alone having sex? Hearing the participants talk about their sex lives is the highlight of show - so why don't we ever see any of them passionately kiss - let alone have sex?

Since the trend of The Hills began in the USA started a few years ago, we have seen a number of spin offs and then some imitations. There was The City and others that don't deserve memory. The genre of faux reality then made it across the pond to brighten our TV screens with the televisual event of 2010 - The Only way is Essex. TOWIE (as it has become known in the glossy mags) was cringe worthy, terribly shot, idiotic and mind numbing, yet it won a place in the nations heart because of relatability and the fact that you could sneer at the TV screen on your high horse. Made in Chelsea, however, is everything that TOWIE is apart from the lovability. The characters (sorry, REAL PEOPLE) are genuine arses who lack any of the wonderful absent mindedness which attracts us to the Essex based variant. A very good example would be on TOWIE, when a group of the subjects go on a poorly planned camping trip and hilarity inevitably ensues. The contrasty on MIC involves some very rich frolicking in Cannes. Most of us have had bad camping experiences which we can look back on with a smile, but the fact that this supposedly reality based show takes their minions to a place which few of us could afford to buy a beer, alienates the viewer to the point of no return.

This programme is genuinely awful. If you would like a TV show to numb your mind after a day at work, watch TOWIE, or better still, something with a script......wait..

Yes I said it! Watching a big cast of monotone pretentious clowns, makes geordie shore seem more relevant. Despite GS being unapologetic trashy, it is far more entertaining and the stars have personality and character. Pretty sure the cast of MIC pay for the production to keep it on air. To have it been on TV for so long, they definetley have the money to do so! I wouldn't be suprised if they watch the series on repeat to admire themselves...
