The Real Bling Ring: Hollywood Heist

A group of bored teenagers have the ingenious idea of robbing the homes of Hollywood celebrities whene they have announced on social media that they plan to be away. The motivation isn't even getting rich per se, but because they can. Eventually they get caught. But instead of pleading for mercy, they try to leverage their fame by shooting a fake-reality TV show based on their experiences. Sofia Coppola starts making a movie about the story before the court case is even complete. The prospect of heavy sentences ends when it is discovered that a leading figure in the investigation is already working as a paid advisor to Coppola. The celebrity victims also cooperate with Coppola, milking the opportunity for further self-promotion. Finally, most of those involved appears in this documentary, displaying neither a sense of responsibility nor any sense of self-awaeness. It's both fascinating and terrible; and the documentary makers are well-aware they are adding to the general terribleness, and don't care either. The series is watchable enough, but if everyone involved was consigned to obscurity hereafter, it might not be such a bad thing.

Vapid, spoiled wannabes from LA Stealing from Ultra rich celebrities mansions and end up selling each other out to not go to prison. There is not one person to feel sorry for in the story except for the viewer. Doc should've been 2 parts max. Only saving Grace was the 2 reality producers literally laughing at everyone while everything is falling apart. Had a solid message in the end, but it doesn't seem these people learned a thing and are still obviously very proud of their endeavors. But it's also hilarious to think these millionaires were in some way effected by a few stolen handbags and Rolex's.

These jerkwads are so empty headed they thought the filmmakers were going to shine positive light on them.

It takes a special kind of moron to talk in front of a camera and think people are gonna empathize with you, no growth and sadly they are procreating and bringing children into their f'ed up life.

Both the guy and the girl(and the mom) show how stupid and careles you have to be to be involved in something like this.

The epitome of a empty headed human raised by reality TV. If you want a summary of how bad this is; one of the dimwits thinks Kim Kardashian is a genius because of x tape...

I'm watching the first episode now, and have realized that these people, especially the guy, have zero remorse for what they did. He's recalling his robberies with glee. The only time he manages to wipe that smirk off his face is when he recalls getting caught. Gross. Out of curiosity, I looked up their jail time, and their sentences were a joke, so no wonder. If given the opportunity, IMO, he would do it again. I can't imagine the inability to evolve after experiencing something as traumatic as jail, but here we are. The mom is a dingbat/crazy too. Anyone who buys into the LOA is lazy. You can't "imagine" success, you have to actually work for it. You can't live beyond your means and just "envision" your bills getting paid, you have to actually pay them, hence, the bankruptcy.

I can only assume a lot of the negative reviews didn't watch this and had no interest in watching it, cause while they are right, it obviously was always going to be the point.

Everyone is insufferable, particularly the mother who was never involved in the actual burglaries and there's something horrifically nostogilic of a simpler time where these guys becoming celebrities was unique, now in the influencer era they are prehistoric.

The celebrities they burgled are now a who's that of Hollywood, this serves as a time capsule more than it does a documentary.

It's probably all lies, everyone is definitely terrible, and hell, even the celebs are presented in a way you have no sympathy. But like every train wreck.....
