The Baldwins

I don't know where to start.

The Baldwins, unfortunately, are very unlikeable. However, I tried to block out stories from their past, and give it a go. I thought maybe I'll see a different side.

Nope. They come across as completely unlikeable, unrelatable, narcissistic, and the show has no authenticity to it.

Now that I think about it, I'm not sure why TLC thought this was a good idea. Perhaps the Baldwins were trying to clean up their image? I just don't know why TLC co-signed it.

On a positive note, I like the children. I do feel they are being set up and used in this scenario. But, they seem to be enjoying themselves. I won't watch another episode.

I found this a borefest and was questioning what is the point of this 'reality' show?

To showcase their children? Poor kids! I thought Baldwin always wanted to protect his family from intrusion?

Money? Goes without even asking .. Sympathy? Possibly Or plain narcissism? I know my thoughts on this.

This is certainly not the Osbournes by any imagination.

A large brood with plenty of pets too and how they cope parenting with not one but two nannies A flurry of children getting irritable about where they sit in a vehicle. Baldwin's OCD issues and his wife's isuue with being Spanish or is it American. Sorry forgot, must of just nodded off!!

Honestly, I watched this show for the trainwreck and it didn't disappoint. What an absolutely wild thing to do, so out of touch with reality, and yet I can't look away. If you love to hate-watch rich people being insane and thinking they're being relatable, you will love this show.

I would be remiss if I didn't mention how the whole thing appears to be in an attempt to gain good faith for Alec, and the discussion of the shooting is hard to watch. I genuinely did have sympathy for him, I don't doubt the shooting has seriously affected him, but making a TV show off of it is absolutely wild. I also don't know if this show would be any good if you weren't already aware of the Baldwins respective scandals.

I don't know where to start. From the misbehaved children to the inept parents; it just kept getting worse the longer I watched.

In addition to seven children, this family has eight animals in a NYC apartment! The animal hoarding is disturbing enough but add in a bunch of rowdy kids handling these small animals and something bad is bound to happen.

Most of the time the parents just looked clueless. How are you on your seventh child and not have a system in place to tackle parenting duties? Both parents are too old to have so many young children.

Alec and his wife seemed like they can barely tolerate each other. It felt uncomfortable at times, like being in the room when another couple is arguing.

Honestly, the whole thing was uncomfortable to watch. They talked about the woman Alec killed and it was so distasteful to do so on this type of show. It was a new low, even by reality tv standards.

I don't know who this show's target audience is. There was no wholesome family moments, the kids are crass, and their bad behavior is egged on by their parents. Alec and his wife seemed like they were pretending to be parents to children they've just met; no warmth, no familiarity. I didn't know you could fit so much dysfunction into one show.

My advice is to avoid this show. It's utter chaos but this chaos isn't even the least bit entertaining.

I've watched all three episodes and I probably won't continue because: 1. His wife is absolutely mean to him. Never lets him speak. Trying to kill him with his cat allergies. The "affection" that they show as a couple just makes me cringe. They don't seem happy together.

2. Hillary's voice. Gosh, I can't listen to it anymore and she NEVER. STOPS. TALKING.

3. She doesn't explain why she speaks her native language (English) with a Spanish accent. I speak German as a third language and I didn't suddenly start speaking English with a German accent. Makes no sense.

Over all, they're both just not likeable. Won't be wasting my time watching them anymore.
