The Baldwins

Two rich narcissists meet and have lots of babies (cared for by invisible spanish speaking nannies they called "godmothers"). Then the famous husband carelessly fires a gun and kills a lady. So to rehabilitate his reputation and get good roles again, he makes a reality tv show about him and his crazy younger wife who is super boring and empty. Their kids act ugly and unhinged and you just feel bad that they will never know a normal childhood. How and why they brought a camera crew into the kids lives can only be answered on way: for their own egos.

Full disclosure, I have not been able to make it through the full first episode. Alec is old and maybe has some mild dementia, his wife has a real grating voice and reminds me of a borderline personality disordered Karen, and the kids weren't taught how to just be normal. It is also incredibly boring, sincerely it is just not an interesting show.

What a disgraceful choice by tlc to air this slop. Needs to be cancelled and tlc and we as a culture need to do better than watching disordered rich people be boring.

Is probably more exciting than this mish mash. Alec plays the victim in his own life story from his divorce from Kim Basinger to the shooting and death on the movie he produced and starred in, to the horde of children and animals he lives with. He has OCD but did not check the gun, he suffers from PTSD but was able to father an 8th. The couple allude to a tragedy that will always be with them, but their actions and this money grab belie their words.

This is no Sound of Music, Cheaper by the Dozen, or Brady Bunch. Alec is miscast and Hilaria has no charisma.

I have seen more than enough. Pasadena.

Ugh, what a headache inducing snooze fest. The kids seem feral, bratty, and older than their years. The eldest daughter, who is only 10, was wearing makeup and completely not listening to her parents, and seems to be a parentified child- parents asking her for haircut tips ....Their lives are so chaotic, just a big unfunny, not charming mess. Painful to watch. Oh speaking of pain, the fake Spanish wife's boob job...looks like it hurts. Also I think someone should call animal protection , too many unruly kids around small dogs is asking for trouble in the form of an injured pup. I actually feel bad for the animals. There entire thing is so unattractive to me. A big bored no thanks from me.

It's a complete put on. The real story would have been more interesting. Hillary from Boston, living in NYC, meets Alec Baldwin at a restaurant where he was a regular trying to pickup Sarma, the owner. She pretended to be Spanish, which he was gaga over Salma Hyeck for, and it worked. But now Hillary was faced with keeping up the grift after she hooked him in. The grift was working, why even Alec said his wife was from Spain but then she was exposed a few years back. Not only was she exposed for the grift, but also for causing speculation that Carmen was her only natural birth, the rest were bought through surrogates. When she was exposed for the grift, and even making the cover of Hola, she blames it on the media for making the mistake about her heritage. She's know as the Hamptons Rachel Dolzen. This is the reality show people want to watch.

I've watched all three episodes and I probably won't continue because: 1. His wife is absolutely mean to him. Never lets him speak. Trying to kill him with his cat allergies. The "affection" that they show as a couple just makes me cringe. They don't seem happy together.

2. Hillary's voice. Gosh, I can't listen to it anymore and she NEVER. STOPS. TALKING.

3. She doesn't explain why she speaks her native language (English) with a Spanish accent. I speak German as a third language and I didn't suddenly start speaking English with a German accent. Makes no sense.

Over all, they're both just not likeable. Won't be wasting my time watching them anymore.
