Owning Manhattan

I was hesitant to give this show a shot after losing brain cells from watching a few episodes of Selling Sunset, but I was pleasantly surprised. For a reality tv show to have a rating higher than 7 on IMDB, I figured that's a good sign that it's at least decent. And it is indeed a fun watch. Chloe is obnoxious at times, but there's a good mix of characters and personalities. I like that the show is mostly about real estate with a little bit of drama mixed in.

Good insight into Ryan running his brokerage and how he manages the different personalities of his agents. Feels mostly genuine. Disappointed this season was only 8 episodes.. could've easily watched 8 more.

I like this series but as a Dane I really must apologise for the excruciatingly narcissistic behaviour of the person who is 'Jonathan Nørmølle'. Whaaat is going on??? I was very embarrased on behalf of Denmark. Please believe me when I say that his arrogant, bullying and frankly unintelligent persona is SO not typicallly Danish. Sick deluded people exist everywhere Im afraid. Good riddance for Serhant!

I love Ryan and have been following him for years. I expected this show to be similar to his previous Real Estate show but I guess Netflix is more concerned with drama than good tv. The office drama is not entertaining and I'm done watching the series. I would love to see a good show like selling New York or selling Manhattan. Ryan does a good job of maintaining his positive attitude but most of the characters are really hard to watch and some of them need to be removed altogether. If there is a second season let's focus more on the selling of real estate and less on the love life of the associates.

Having followed Ryan Serhant for the past 10 years by watching Million Dollar Listing, reading his books and following him on social media, it's safe to say I'm a big fan! When I saw he was going to have his own Netflix show however, I was slightly worried it would turn out to be another Selling Sunset. I was more than happily surprised that the show was much more real than all the other shows, with the emphasise on real estate. The agents are a lot more authentic, despite the occasional drama. Ryan is as lovely, hard working and inspiring as always. A big thumbs up, and we're rooting for you!

More selling and less with the scripted reality show nonsense. I would have preferred just Ryan but instead we got these model/actors that frankly just ruin everything. I loved the originality of the first show he did but this one just lacks any substance. Scripted reality tv hit its peak and it's going downhill fast. It's fine for mindless watching when there's nothing else but this didn't hold my attention and found it more interesting to just scroll on IG.

A more interesting premise would be learning sales techniques from Ryan and what it's really like running his own shop minus the fake reality actors they got for this one.
