Made in Chelsea

This TV show is dire, it is terrible, I do not like most of these Soap opera type of shows these days, but this is a whole new level of BAD. While most soap operas have some sort of engaging theme or interesting scenes with some action. Made in Chelsea has nothing, it is literally just endless conversations with occasional swear words just jotted throughout the dialogue. I am not joking when this is what happens in the show: 80% talking, 15% crying, 4% music and 1% where anything interesting happens. Most of the plot lines are usually recycled from other soap operas like Eastenders. This show is right at the bottom of the pecking order.

TL;DR Nothing happens in this show, it feels like someone just taped a conversation and told the head of Channel 4: "this is a great new soap opera we have made", and seeing as channel 4 are so desperate they have no choice but to approve it for viewing

3/10 for Terrible. DO NOT WATCH!

Whilst some of the individuals featured are probably interesting people, the format of the show reduces everyone to two-dimensional pawns in an endless incestuous dating circle.

The haze of sepia, the indie pop soundtrack and the choice tracking shots of posh London suburbs all serve to lend this a veneer of class and style, but there's nothing of substance underneath.

The cast seem content to appear as empty-headed, simplistic and egotistical people, in exchange for a presumably large sum of money. Every episode is so bloody tedious and the producers so lacking in creativity that the only variable is who is shagging who behind who's back.

Waste of television.

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?

I like the cinematography (and filming locations), cast, and the storylines are mostly entertaining. (Some episodes feel like 'filler' episodes, but that's to be expected with shows that air so frequently.) I think the format & structure of the show really works, and continues to be entertaining over the years. In particular - I find that a lot of the conversations are relatable and are reminiscent of conversations I've had with friends, and situations that have occurred in reality (especially when I was at uni). So there's a lot of interesting themes for people that have an outgoing social life. The only advice I would give, is that a lot of the relationships are starting to feel like incest i.e. they're all dating each others ex's. I'm not sure if this means they need to re-jig the cast a little. But at the moment I like most of the cast members.

As a final note - I think it really skews the rating when *some* people that clearly don't like reality TV, come here to give it a bad rating. Specifically, the content of their feedback is rarely beneficial or constructive.

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...
