Owning Manhattan

Assuming Ryan was paid handsomely for this show and one can't blame him for that. Netflix is a great platform to showcase his charm. So understand why he did it but the show is just yet another Netflix piece of vapid banality.

MDL felt authentic and real- this one is focused again on a heap of young pretty people desperate for fame. Same Netflix formula. At least it's a little better than the other ones on the streamer. Whenever the camera is off Ryan the show is pointless. None of the rest have any real charm. Like plastic assembly Line dolls.

Want Ryan back on Bravo who do reality better than Netflix.

I love Ryan and have been following him for years. I expected this show to be similar to his previous Real Estate show but I guess Netflix is more concerned with drama than good tv. The office drama is not entertaining and I'm done watching the series. I would love to see a good show like selling New York or selling Manhattan. Ryan does a good job of maintaining his positive attitude but most of the characters are really hard to watch and some of them need to be removed altogether. If there is a second season let's focus more on the selling of real estate and less on the love life of the associates.

Having followed Ryan Serhant for the past 10 years by watching Million Dollar Listing, reading his books and following him on social media, it's safe to say I'm a big fan! When I saw he was going to have his own Netflix show however, I was slightly worried it would turn out to be another Selling Sunset. I was more than happily surprised that the show was much more real than all the other shows, with the emphasise on real estate. The agents are a lot more authentic, despite the occasional drama. Ryan is as lovely, hard working and inspiring as always. A big thumbs up, and we're rooting for you!

This show is like taking a trip to the capital city of the hunger games movie series. I do appreciate the nice apartments they show, however the people are unbearable. No wonder when traveling the rest of the world hates Americans hahaha. Not to mention, money hungry realtors who provide essentially nothing besides woo girl vibes and a stiff fee. The people are very narcissistic and annoying. That being said there appears to be a few normal people on the show. Lovely apartments. I've always wanted to visit New York after watching so many tv series from there (how I met your mother, Seinfeld, whatever) This show has the opposite effect.

Yes, the views and places they sell are amazing! I'd totally want to have one of those apartments as "an extra flat", who wouldn't (...:)..). They're super pretty.

However, I feel like everything else just focuses on drama. The she-said, he-said, she-did, he-did, and then they talk about it with other people. They are very rude to each other, which is sad to see. What if they could lift each other instead of the opposite. They could gain so much more from their work, and basically, from life in general. It's sad how people these days feel the need to take people down and make sure to hurt someone just for the sake of it.

I don't know. I hoped for more. Probably expected some level of drama but this was just too much. My jaw physically dropped in a few episodes because of the mean things people said or did. And, it's reality. It's not possible to say "it's just TV, no one got hurt in real life".

I also want to point out that this doesn't apply to all the cast on the show.

Also, I often felt that the owner of the company, Ryan, was acting more than being his true self. He did mention he did try acting before getting into real-estate, maybe that's why?
