Buying London

I just wonder why Netflix wasted their money making this claptrap. Have you noticed nothing actually gets sold on this programme. None of them could actually sell a bag of chips. They talk about all these contacts they have all over the world but absolutely nothing gets closed. The stars of the show are the homes none of which are up for sale at all just contracted by Netflix to be in the program to make it interesting.

Can't really understand why John Caudwell was in the show I'm really quite sure he doesn't need the money.

In conclusion I don't think you should waste your time like I did nothing happens. Properties are real the people are plastic.

I was hoping for a TV-series similar to Parisian Agency - and to see some beautiful properties in London and get a glimpse of the realtors in England in personal way.

Starting off, the agency claims to work differently and offer something new to the market, yet all you see is young blondes in heels, fake smiles and egos so large they might implode. This is narcissistic tv, nothing else. The music is inspired by other real estate series on Netflix, without the coolness. Everything feels fake.

I couldn't watch this more than 10 minutes because I knew this would be a big waste of time. This tv-show deserves to be forgotten right away.

You can clearly tell the cast were asked to create fake drama to make it compete with Selling Sunset. No one in real life would get upset over these "issues" and act like this professionally here. It got so bad that I found myself fast forwarding to the viewings, which unfortunately were not even that great! The caliber of property in comparison to the channel 4 shows, such as most expensive houses, were simply just not there, extremely dated interiors and nothing "wow" about them.

Some of the "viewings" were also clearly staged properties not on the market, for example the "open house" apartment... it was empty, with the cast positioned in the background in one scene but no one else! Open houses are not even a concept here in the uk... honestly this show makes a mockery of UK agents. This should be burned from anyone's memory.

Haven't seen in a while such a group of look alike fake narcissists. Women look all the same. Hair, makeup, botox blah blah blah. Dialogues are not natural at all, not easy going, hard to watch. Money money money. Nothing else counts in life. I chose to watch it because I would be really interested to see actual real estate status in London, a city with crazy prices and especially after the crisis it would be extremely interesting to see how people buy in London but again you see a show showing only super upper high class rich people far away from actual reality and the world. Bummer. I dont know if I can keep watching this.

This show is trying too damn hard to copy the drama of Selling Sunset, but it just comes across as completely unnatural and ridiculous. Americans really are better at acting convincingly like total idiots, although Selling Sunset takes things too far sometimes as well. Obviously in the British version they found it very hard to find stuff to disagree on because the clearly fake squabbles are enormously childish and petty. Still I like to watch it for the amazing properties and beautiful clothes and Buying London doesn't disappoint in that respect. That's why I think 4 stars is more than reasonable.
