I love reality TV, but "Estate of Survival" was a total cringe-fest. The whole show is just a giant, in-your-face ad for LG's appliances. The plot is basically nonexistent-just a bunch of people competing in lame challenges to win home appliances, with a $100,000 prize dangling at the end to keep them motivated. It's like they threw together the most boring reality show possible just to shove their products down our throats.
LG is trying to cash in on the popularity of reality TV and streaming by pushing this nonsense on Amazon Prime Video. The first two episodes dropped on August 12 in the U. S., but honestly, they should've kept them locked away. The show features LG's InstaView fridge and Smart Top Control Dishwasher, and it's painfully obvious that these appliances are the real stars, not the contestants. The whole thing feels more like a badly disguised infomercial than a real TV show.
They're also streaming it on LG Channels, their own platform, but I can't imagine why anyone would voluntarily sit through this. LG might think they're being clever by trying to appeal to the streaming crowd who hates regular ads, but this is way worse. It's like they forgot they're supposed to entertain people, not just sell them stuff.
The show also highlights their ThinQ Care tech, which basically just nags you if you're using the appliance wrong. Wow, thrilling TV.
Other brands have figured out how to do reality TV tie-ins without making you feel like you're watching a two-hour commercial, but LG missed that memo. "Estate of Survival" is a painful watch, and it's not worth your time unless you're in the market for a new fridge and want to see it awkwardly shoved into every scene.
