Bling Empire: New York

I haven't watched the original Bling Empire in LA so cannot compare these two. The NYC version was tolerable with some likeable characters and an overall casual, easy-to-watch vibe. There's obviously some wealth-flaunting but honestly a lot of it feels a bit exaggerated (especially Nam) so I wouldn't take it too seriously. Besides the billionaire heiresses most of these people are far from being as wealthy as they claim to be. Dorothy fits well as the frontrunner as she's both funny & outspoken. Tina, Blake, and the couple (Vika/Richard) are all decently entertaining. The only unlikeable characters in my opinion were Lynn and her long-distance husband. The separate storyline of Deborah and her husband also felt completely disjointed from the main series as they only appeared together with the main crew during episode one and they had the least amount of airtime.

Overall, easy short binge that's obviously heavily scripted but still entertains enough when there's nothing else to watch.

Yes it's about out of touch rich people.... But it's far worse than I expected. Ridiculous and vapid. It is nauseating and disgusting pathetic with a dash of narcissism. If only these incredibly wealthy individuals added something to society rather than being self important snobs with no understanding of reality. In this day and age with such a huge gap between the haves and the have nots... if I was struggling to make ends meet this would be not only ridiculous and anti-intellectual, but also infuriating. Stop giving this %*#^ a platform. I'd be far more interested in a show that makes these people work a job and see how they do.

Watching this to see how different it is to the others. It's good entertainment when you don't want something serious to watch BUT the characters are a whole new level of precious and spoilt.

Nam: OMG I MIGHT HAVE TO WORK FOR MONEY...my goodness what a tragedy. Poor princess.

All you can really do is blame the parents for raising such lazy selfish narcissistic children who expect everything to be handed to them because it's all they know. But then the parents can't understand why their children behave the way they do ... such a mystery!

Some of the women in this series are either great actresses or absolute idiots. Money may be inherited but intelligence, decency and integrity certainly aren't.

One of the worst reality tv shows I've seen in my life. I love to occasionally shut my brain from my everyday rhythm with a bit of trashy brainless but entertaining reality tv, and appreciate a bit of extreme super rich decadence lifestyle and superficiality as long as it's aesthetically pleasing and fun. But this is nothing. They are not even good looking a part from Dorothea (the Mexican wife of hung) . They are not doing anything interesting or amazing or fun with their money. They basically don't add to anything on this planet. Dorothy is the most annoying, useless, brat of a human I've ever seen. She is ugly, spoiled, disrespectful, stupid and BORING, she adds no new value to the world in any way, she just exists as a child of a billionaire and is a useless, ugly, boring brat. Terrible people, even worst tv show.

Oh man, where to start with this one. Well, I couldn't even make it through the 2nd episode. I only made it through the 1st after watching in about 6 different sittings. I'll also add that I'm a big fan of the original.

This show tries so hard that it makes it feel very forced, fake and scripted. It's no where near as good as the original, which I really enjoyed. This show was boring and bland and that's me being genrous. Dorothy is not entertaining. Rest if the characters are super meh.

I won't be able to finish this season or series, it's just too terrible. I hope they make another season of the original instead.
