Dominando Manhattan

I'm writing this review after finishing the 5th episodes and won't watch more.

Living in New York City and being an architect, I was super excited about the release of this show and it was even in my calendar. But what a disappointment!

Why all US real estate shows always focus about the dramas inside their office (are they even real?!!) instead of the actual real estates? We want to see houses, apartments, real estates!! But the show focus unfortunately on the bad energies and egos within their office. What a shame for Ryan.

As a note to Jonathan, I wouldn't be so arrogant and a bully to juniors when you don't even know the sun sets on the west 😂 seems to be a basic thing any human know as a kid! Sun rises in the east and sets on the west, working or not in this industry.

I was hesitant to give this show a shot after losing brain cells from watching a few episodes of Selling Sunset, but I was pleasantly surprised. For a reality tv show to have a rating higher than 7 on IMDB, I figured that's a good sign that it's at least decent. And it is indeed a fun watch. Chloe is obnoxious at times, but there's a good mix of characters and personalities. I like that the show is mostly about real estate with a little bit of drama mixed in.

Good insight into Ryan running his brokerage and how he manages the different personalities of his agents. Feels mostly genuine. Disappointed this season was only 8 episodes.. could've easily watched 8 more.

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.

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?

More selling and less with the scripted reality show nonsense. I would have preferred just Ryan but instead we got these model/actors that frankly just ruin everything. I loved the originality of the first show he did but this one just lacks any substance. Scripted reality tv hit its peak and it's going downhill fast. It's fine for mindless watching when there's nothing else but this didn't hold my attention and found it more interesting to just scroll on IG.

A more interesting premise would be learning sales techniques from Ryan and what it's really like running his own shop minus the fake reality actors they got for this one.
