Twentysomethings: Austin

The Little Town on the River and the GOP want to be the next Silicon Valley. They bring with the growth trustafarians who live Kardashian like lifestyles without jobs, tech money, and hard pressed jobless kids from the Rust Belt. The wealthy people screw up the real estate, and the rest try to get by on McJobs.

And then there's the homeless encampments.

The unprepared city lacks the infrastructure to handle all the new "hipper than thou" crowd and everyone sits in a traffic jam. Real estate costs skyrocket, but the night life goes on.

The only people who like living there are people who think it's cheaper than California.

Meanwhile, it's one more lifestyle porn show.

After watching countless reality TV shows that only cast for shock value, drama, fighting, trashy hookups and excessive drunkenness, this show is really refreshing. The cast are all endearing and likable people just living their lives as all of us do. The stories are really relatable and I enjoyed watching the cool spots in Austin. At times the show is sweet, cringy, weird and wholesome. Those are all things that I'm going through as a woman living in Austin in my 20s. If you like trashy reality TV then you'll probably find this show a little boring but if you like to see real people trying to find themselves then you'll find this show interesting.

I love that it's very positive. No petty drama. People seem mature. The storylines are realistic. People are generally likable. It's such a delight to watch and follow them figuring out their 20s. Their lives are exciting and everyone gets enough spotlight. All in all great show!

It's basically the same deal as the Real World except there's 2 houses side by side. 4 girls live in one, 4 boys in the other. Everyone is pretty, everyone has issues, everyone wants to hook up. Nothin new to see here.

Having said that, they are all fairly like-able and if you are down with real world reboot then this is for you.

Too much similar personalities, not enough diversity. Got tired of watching the same people for an hour Very obvious cameras in some of the shots. Will likely contribute to the inflation of the housing market in Austin.
