Selling the OC

I started watching this out of boredom the day before I am to go back to teaching for the new school year. I've binged watched the entire season now and feel like I might've warmed up a spot in hell for myself. This was the most hideous portrayal of human existence, and I pray to God that it is totally fictional and scripted because otherwise there's no help for humanity. I am stage four cancer patient and I cannot believe I just wasted so much of my life when I don't know how much I've got left on this trash. I think the owner of Netflix should personally reach out to me and extend an apology, as well as offer financial damages for the trauma I've endured being exposed to such a grotesque view of human nature. These people break every moral code in 30 minute episodes That feel like a woodpecker incessantly pecking at your spinal column. If these people are real, I really have to wonder how I am the one suffering a potentially lethal disease? How is it that people like this can benefit and thrive not just in spite of, But because of such horrific behavior? Shame on everyone who had anything to do with putting this project together! Shame on me for watching it! I can only hope that my review will spare someone else the unnecessary exposure to such a glorified bullying, sleaze-dripping excrement!

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.

There's no way these aren't just actors. I can't imagine a "luxury real estate" company would go out their way to put up with the amount of drama that is shoved down the viewers throat. Maybe they'd actually sell a house if they spent half the amount of time arguing actually towards their job. Instead, they'll show 3 clips of a overpriced wardrobe with some drone shot of the construction in front of the house and call it a day for the real estate. Not everything needs to be a cesspit of drama filled reality tv. When they show the properties it's good though, so.. 3 star.

Most of the cast is very negative and intense. I am not sure how anyone sells houses with all of the toxicity. It's awful and extreme. Terrible cast members made the most of the show and it wasn't really about the houses or anything positive. The people naming bullies are the bullies and the way Alex Hall and Polly speak to people is beyond disgusting I am not sure why anyone allows them to have a televised job. There is tv drama and there are toxic people. This is next level and they are really abusive towards other cast members. I wish someone would do something to not allow such behavior while filming or be put out into the world. I was looking forward to this after selling sunset....this shouldn't be renewed it was hard to watch such angry and hostile people treat others with such abuse and not be asked to stop by anyone who could stop it.

Pathetic series by Netflix. Focus is just on a group of bickering shallow women stereotyping the worst characteristics of cat fighting between them. It's a pointless series. No focus on the business of selling, little focus on the men selling, it's only about the squabbling bubbleheads and their bodies. Why not show these women as powerful business people being successful and managing the challenges of selling luxury real estate. Why go back to showing women as weak shallow self centred people. These shows put women back in time. Plot opportunity and consumer interest in seeing these luxury homes are many. Sure, show some personal issues and some of the dynamics of a team office but to only focus on the shallow bickering is a waste of viewers time. It's not even quality squabbling. Super disappointing. You can do so much better Netflix.
