The Baldwins

Honestly, I watched this show for the trainwreck and it didn't disappoint. What an absolutely wild thing to do, so out of touch with reality, and yet I can't look away. If you love to hate-watch rich people being insane and thinking they're being relatable, you will love this show.

I would be remiss if I didn't mention how the whole thing appears to be in an attempt to gain good faith for Alec, and the discussion of the shooting is hard to watch. I genuinely did have sympathy for him, I don't doubt the shooting has seriously affected him, but making a TV show off of it is absolutely wild. I also don't know if this show would be any good if you weren't already aware of the Baldwins respective scandals.

It's a complete put on. The real story would have been more interesting. Hillary from Boston, living in NYC, meets Alec Baldwin at a restaurant where he was a regular trying to pickup Sarma, the owner. She pretended to be Spanish, which he was gaga over Salma Hyeck for, and it worked. But now Hillary was faced with keeping up the grift after she hooked him in. The grift was working, why even Alec said his wife was from Spain but then she was exposed a few years back. Not only was she exposed for the grift, but also for causing speculation that Carmen was her only natural birth, the rest were bought through surrogates. When she was exposed for the grift, and even making the cover of Hola, she blames it on the media for making the mistake about her heritage. She's know as the Hamptons Rachel Dolzen. This is the reality show people want to watch.

I don't know where to start.

The Baldwins, unfortunately, are very unlikeable. However, I tried to block out stories from their past, and give it a go. I thought maybe I'll see a different side.

Nope. They come across as completely unlikeable, unrelatable, narcissistic, and the show has no authenticity to it.

Now that I think about it, I'm not sure why TLC thought this was a good idea. Perhaps the Baldwins were trying to clean up their image? I just don't know why TLC co-signed it.

On a positive note, I like the children. I do feel they are being set up and used in this scenario. But, they seem to be enjoying themselves. I won't watch another episode.

Ugh, what a headache inducing snooze fest. The kids seem feral, bratty, and older than their years. The eldest daughter, who is only 10, was wearing makeup and completely not listening to her parents, and seems to be a parentified child- parents asking her for haircut tips ....Their lives are so chaotic, just a big unfunny, not charming mess. Painful to watch. Oh speaking of pain, the fake Spanish wife's boob job...looks like it hurts. Also I think someone should call animal protection , too many unruly kids around small dogs is asking for trouble in the form of an injured pup. I actually feel bad for the animals. There entire thing is so unattractive to me. A big bored no thanks from me.

Is probably more exciting than this mish mash. Alec plays the victim in his own life story from his divorce from Kim Basinger to the shooting and death on the movie he produced and starred in, to the horde of children and animals he lives with. He has OCD but did not check the gun, he suffers from PTSD but was able to father an 8th. The couple allude to a tragedy that will always be with them, but their actions and this money grab belie their words.

This is no Sound of Music, Cheaper by the Dozen, or Brady Bunch. Alec is miscast and Hilaria has no charisma.

I have seen more than enough. Pasadena.
