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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
