Veinteañeros en Austin

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!

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.

Goodbye Texas. I really hate how this show is promoted as a "move to Austin" billboard. In reality, many struggle with housing prices being inflated by the influx of wealthy Californians who will enact the same policies that caused them to move. Politics aside, I also couldn't stand 20 minutes of the first episode. If this is how people my age act then Idiocracy was a prophecy.

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.

But yea, I wouldn't put it on my top 10 best shows list.

To be entirely honest, this show touched me in some weird way, and the reason I rated it a 10 was cause I ended up living through everything with these guys.

And the guys are some amazing young people - sure, a bit immature and impulsive, but isn't that what the 20s are for?

Overall, I would like to see this show progress and would recommend.
