Selling the OC

Pathetic series by Netflix. Focus is just on a group of bickering shallow women stereotyping the worst characteristics of cat fighting between them. It's a pointless series. No focus on the business of selling, little focus on the men selling, it's only about the squabbling bubbleheads and their bodies. Why not show these women as powerful business people being successful and managing the challenges of selling luxury real estate. Why go back to showing women as weak shallow self centred people. These shows put women back in time. Plot opportunity and consumer interest in seeing these luxury homes are many. Sure, show some personal issues and some of the dynamics of a team office but to only focus on the shallow bickering is a waste of viewers time. It's not even quality squabbling. Super disappointing. You can do so much better Netflix.

Like all of us nowadays, I enjoy a little trash TV. I can turn to Bravo and completely turn off my brain for a good hour or two every week. But this show is something past trashy TV. The people on this show are so vapid and rude to one another it's actually difficult to watch the whole way through. Polly and Alex Hall are so "mean girl" it's sad to watch adult women act that way. This show is really scrapping the bottom of the barrel. It's another sign that Netflix is just churning out trash content and it's really time to consider whether it's even worth having a subscription. At this point we should all cancel everything and read the books on our shelves that have been collecting dust for years.

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.

Most of the cast is very negative and intense. I am not sure how anyone sells houses with all of the toxicity. It's awful and extreme. Terrible cast members made the most of the show and it wasn't really about the houses or anything positive. The people naming bullies are the bullies and the way Alex Hall and Polly speak to people is beyond disgusting I am not sure why anyone allows them to have a televised job. There is tv drama and there are toxic people. This is next level and they are really abusive towards other cast members. I wish someone would do something to not allow such behavior while filming or be put out into the world. I was looking forward to this after selling sunset....this shouldn't be renewed it was hard to watch such angry and hostile people treat others with such abuse and not be asked to stop by anyone who could stop it.

Wow! This show is pathetic! Alex Hall and Polly have to be the most hypocritical women on the planet! There is NO WAY this show is any form of reality! Hired actors that never sold real estate yet they sell million dollar homes right away! I say wipe the slate, keep Alex Jarvis, Alex Rose and Tyler develop a new show around those three. They are the only remotely likeable ones. If not, at least write a new script where these women are not demeaning, back stabbing and gas lighting each other in every scene. It's so annoyingly gross and unwatchable! Glamorizing this kind of unrelenting bullying in the work place is pathetic. If the Oppenheimer Group is real I can't imagine someone hiring these women. Let's be real if you're selling a 10,000,000 house you care how your agent representing you. Having full blown arguments with co-workers in your living room would not be tolerated. Don't waste your time watching unless watching women demoralize each other is your thing. I stopped watching after episode 2.
