Selling the OC

Love love love Selling Sunset. The women are gorgeous, stylish and classy whether they like each other or and they are professional in front of clients and Brett and Jason. We watched Selling OC hoping to see glamorous homes, the yachts, the cars, the glitter... some of that we got (thank you!) but the mean spirited drama, gaslighting, bullying was unwanted (shame on you Alex Hall, Polly!). Similar to RHOC to much focus on drama for dramas sake. Hopefully Netflix takes the trash out next season as bullying and sl*tshaming women is not entertaining viewing.

I started watching this out of boredom the day before I am to go back to teaching for the new school year. I've binged watched the entire season now and feel like I might've warmed up a spot in hell for myself. This was the most hideous portrayal of human existence, and I pray to God that it is totally fictional and scripted because otherwise there's no help for humanity. I am stage four cancer patient and I cannot believe I just wasted so much of my life when I don't know how much I've got left on this trash. I think the owner of Netflix should personally reach out to me and extend an apology, as well as offer financial damages for the trauma I've endured being exposed to such a grotesque view of human nature. These people break every moral code in 30 minute episodes That feel like a woodpecker incessantly pecking at your spinal column. If these people are real, I really have to wonder how I am the one suffering a potentially lethal disease? How is it that people like this can benefit and thrive not just in spite of, But because of such horrific behavior? Shame on everyone who had anything to do with putting this project together! Shame on me for watching it! I can only hope that my review will spare someone else the unnecessary exposure to such a glorified bullying, sleaze-dripping excrement!

These shallow people claiming to represent Newport Beach are just transplants trying to change it to fit their own vanity. I couldn't afford to live where I grew up, so I had to move away from my friends and family. Am I bitter? Yup. Now these people get a show glamorizing their form of gentrification.

Please stop giving people like this shows? I would love to see the realities of the hustle of actual real estate agents. That would be interesting. Not a show of people getting in and out of their Ferrari's.

Why do reviews need to contain 600 characters? I ran out of things to talk about in this shallow show.

What is the purpose of this show? Watching toxic people argue ... with occasional clips of luxury real estate?

"Selling Sunset" is kind of a guilty pleasure, so I watched this show hoping it would be a similar experience. It wasn't. The show is too focused on the petty squabbles of a handful of immature young agents. Many of them are new to selling real estate in OC.

Orange County also doesn't have world-famous iconic locations and celebrity-connections like Los Angeles. So the homes don't have that extra flair that homes in "Selling Sunset" or "Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles" do.

The show can still work - but the people have to be more interesting and there needs to more of the high-stakes nature of the biz: getting these coveted listings, negotiating high-dollar deals and all the wild / crazy problems that come up at the last minute.

But that's not what they've done. So for now, if you like watching human train-wrecks slug it out, this is your show. Given all the poor reviews I've seen, I hope the producers don't think everyone who watched season 1 will show up for season 2. This show needs some re-tooling.

The rating is > 1 for the real stars - the beautiful homes in OC.

Alex Hall and Polly make it impossible to watch more than half an episode at a time unless you fast forward while they're on screen. The mean girl energy all for the sake of attention is despicable. I like real estate so I had hopes that there would be actual real estate in this show, at least on the level of "Selling Sunset" which granted, isn't much. But it's almost non existent here.

The hypocrisy starts with the title. They aren't selling anything except themselves and badly at that.

The fact that the main focus is on the two most toxic people rather than anyone or anything else tells you all you need to know about it.

Don't waste your time on this one.
