Buying Beverly Hills

I think the first reviewer has been unnecessarily harsh. This is not Emmy Winning material, but it nails perfectly what provides the appeal of every high end real estate reality show. Homes we cannot afford. Jobs we do not have. Clothes we cannot fit into or afford. Cars we do not drive. Lives we admire. It is a window into a sometimes superficial world, but damn it's so much fun. Get caught up in the storyline, relationships, and jaw droppingly stunning Beverly Hills real estate. Fabulous.

Tracking the professional and personal interplay between the family and work colleagues is great fun, and I am looking forward to future seasons.

Why are the high star reviews written in such a ditzy way and so emotional about all the low reviews???? Hmmm. Sorry that this show is just not popular with the general public and dropped to not even #10 on Netflix on the second week of it being on air and 20% on rotten tomatoes! The general audience senses lack of authenticity and we're bored! The show is scripted and doesn't even have a fun script at that. The drama with the flamboyant middle aged man and the fling of the teenager is fake. Viewers aren't idiots and can fish out bad acting that belongs in a low budget movie that hits the tank. Complete rubbish. Netflix, who has hit smashes like LOVE IS BLIND, SELLING SUNSET, etc. Really embarrassed itself, hence the lack of ads to promote this boring mess.

I decided to watch the whole season to give it a fair review. Although there were a few entertaining moments (very few) it felt like the Alexia show. Although her older sister, Farrah is in the show, you get the idea that she is Cinderella in the sense that she handles a good majority of the day to day office work because Mauricio is too busy. Alexia gets things handed to her, spends her time invested in office gossip, playing ping pong and going out to lunch. And to top it off she doesn't understand why people think she is the office spoiled brat and unapproachable.

I though it would include more sales of homes that they show us. No in reality we see beautiful decadent homes that never sell or we don't actually see the sale. A few open houses, a lot of drinking and of course office gossip but actually selling, who has time? However we do see the family home sold by Alexia who was... big surprise given the listing.

Well if you are actually interested in seeing homes sold choose another option. If your only wish is to go from Alexia's issue to issue with other office gossip thrown in then this is the show for you.

My advice to the show's producers, at least be honest and change the name to the Alexia Umansky show with guest appearances by Cinderella and Mauricio.

Buying Beverly Hills has some magnificent homes for sale on it. The restaurant scenes and house party scenes are entertaining. People who have resided in Los Angeles county for 10-50 years have witnessed the awe-inspiring million dollar residences, attended parties held in some of these luxurious homes, dined at upscale restaurants just minutes away from these properties, or stayed in top-notch hotels located near these homes. What the majority of Hollywood fans don't want is additional drama centered on the families and real estate agents involved in selling those homes for the owners. Yes, many of the owners happen to be well-known celebrities. This TV show mainly focuses on the drama and parties among the Beverly Hills real estate agents, with only a small portion, around 25%, dedicated to selling homes. Who cares, in my humble opinion?

I watched this expecting it to be about the real estate market or the properties themselves, but instead it is a showcase for the vacuous Umansky sisters & other permatanned two-faced people who work in a particular agency.

Despite being related in some cases, and supposedly friends in others, the people who feature in this show spend more time saying something to each other's faces with over the top enthusiasm (and sometimes thinly veiled criticism) then something totally different to other people, or to the camera.

The other star of this show is the hideous fashions which make these people look like they've been dressed at an 80's English jumble sale (which is not a good thing). If you're a fan of people who look like they've had plastic surgery & been primped to within an inch of their life before being dressed in worn out, dishevelled or incorrectly sized clothing, whilst behaving horribly towards each other, then this is the show for you. If you want a programme about properties, you should avoid it at all costs!
