Made in Chelsea

Yes I said it! Watching a big cast of monotone pretentious clowns, makes geordie shore seem more relevant. Despite GS being unapologetic trashy, it is far more entertaining and the stars have personality and character. Pretty sure the cast of MIC pay for the production to keep it on air. To have it been on TV for so long, they definetley have the money to do so! I wouldn't be suprised if they watch the series on repeat to admire themselves...

This is a structured-reality show on E4. It's about a large group of rich, privately-educated young adults who live in West London.

They love having a large number of short-term relationships and are very keen on cheating during those relationships by having casual sex with other people. They also enjoy a lot of casual sex whilst single. Why then, do we never see them in bed with each other - let alone having sex? Hearing the participants talk about their sex lives is the highlight of show - so why don't we ever see any of them passionately kiss - let alone have sex?

There's nothing like yet another heavily scripted reality series of the over privalaged rich kids whose life seems to revolve around parties and hooking up with each other's exes and causing pathetic dramas over it!

Not sure who this show is suppose to attract as it has zero redeeming qualities and the cast could do with a Real reality kick as in respecting what they have been handed on a plate and actually do something worthwhile with it instead of the superficial 💩 that they deem important

There are many different types off shows out there. If you are looking for an action packed thriller then obviously this is not the right show for you...When rating a TV show, we are comparing it to other TV shows we have watched, how interesting we found it, and how entertaining it was. MIC is funny and sometimes silly, which serves as a good contrast to a very different show like Game of Thrones which is very serious. It is not particularly academic except in teaching one ways not to live, it doesn't tease the brain, and it doesn't leave one marvelling at the acting genius. However it is a decent watch which is just fun and keeps the audience entertained. The flamboyant lifestyles portrayed are enviable and if you cannot watch a show without feeling anger towards wealthier people then...don't watch it. I would recommend this show if you are sitting at home, bored and looking for a series to start watching. It can be funny and I genuinely have enjoyed watching thus far. Some people criticise the show because they say it is scripted. To make a show entertaining there are certain guidelines a director might propose but the show is not fully scripted, in that the speech of the actors has not fully been premeditated by someone else.

Since the trend of The Hills began in the USA started a few years ago, we have seen a number of spin offs and then some imitations. There was The City and others that don't deserve memory. The genre of faux reality then made it across the pond to brighten our TV screens with the televisual event of 2010 - The Only way is Essex. TOWIE (as it has become known in the glossy mags) was cringe worthy, terribly shot, idiotic and mind numbing, yet it won a place in the nations heart because of relatability and the fact that you could sneer at the TV screen on your high horse. Made in Chelsea, however, is everything that TOWIE is apart from the lovability. The characters (sorry, REAL PEOPLE) are genuine arses who lack any of the wonderful absent mindedness which attracts us to the Essex based variant. A very good example would be on TOWIE, when a group of the subjects go on a poorly planned camping trip and hilarity inevitably ensues. The contrasty on MIC involves some very rich frolicking in Cannes. Most of us have had bad camping experiences which we can look back on with a smile, but the fact that this supposedly reality based show takes their minions to a place which few of us could afford to buy a beer, alienates the viewer to the point of no return.

This programme is genuinely awful. If you would like a TV show to numb your mind after a day at work, watch TOWIE, or better still, something with a script......wait..
