The Valley: Persian Style

To be subjective, I must admit that this series has been a regular source of unproductive procrastination since early 2013. Which has suited the occupants of our household quite well. As We've come to the end of this season we are sorely contemplating what other programs could suffice in the meantime.

Although, as the previous members have commented. This series does not address the lifestyle of "Persians who are really Iranians but they don't go by that", on the other hand it does give a great account of an otherwise hidden social class.

The personalities on this show are very entertaining and we're constantly drawn to there personal journeys of growth. I personally feel as if our want/need to align our self with someone else has assisted in making this series so addictive.

We are all anticipating this series come back, so don't be too long :D.

Obnoxious materialistic Kardashian wannabes. These are some of the least self aware humans I've ever seen. They're 4s thinking they're 10s, and the show is overtly scripted.

I am addicted to this show. It is an interesting look into a culture that is private and hidden from a white man like me.

I've dealt with Persians in my career and they are always motivated and intelligent people, but Shah's of Sunset Persians are f___ing over the top crazy. I hope their behavior is overly dramatized because they have cameras in their faces, because there are some serious personal problems on parade here.

Aside from that this is a fresh concept and non-stop action that comes across as genuine.

As another review wrote, its is a train wreck, and we all like to watch train wrecks, right?

Looking forward to Season 3 - if it happens.

This show is not a positive look on the Persian Americans in Los Angeles, California. They fled persecution, wars, and death in Iran to settle in Beverly Hills. Many of the cast mates are friends from Beverly Hills High School. Let's fact it, they're not normal in the first place. While I can only imagine the possible outrage from this show's existence, I find it interesting that Ryan Seacrest is in charge of production. Usually it's soul-less Andy Cohen but not this time. Hopefully unlike Cohen, Seacrest doesn't have painful reunion shows to watch. Anyway, the three women and three men have a balance. Reza is a Persian American homosexual real estate agent and his office mate and best friend is MJ, a Persian American woman. Asa is a Persian American woman and an artist who is probably my favorite. She's more concerned about her art rather than the others' opinions. Sammy and Mike are both Persian American and Jewish men in the show. Both men are interested in women not Persian nor Jewish. While this show is an interesting look into another culture and often a foreign land which is Los Angeles, the show does try to explain Persians who are really Iranians but they don't go by that. Anyway, this show has some moments but I'll watch this train wreck. It's not as bad as the housewives shows.

I actually watched it longer than I thought I would I've worked with many Persian men in my prime Primary in the Automotive business retailing highline Mercedes Benz. Range Rovers ECT. I loved it got to know The culture The habits The food.and most of all every thing there is to know about these particular Kinds of cars I was Floored I couldn't believe the way they spoke to each other the way that GG spoke to other people and her family if i was her Dad i would of slapped her right across her butt she should of gotten it from Dad.... ok ok I get it could of been scripted here and there but come on some people can not help themselves from being ignorant but speaking in that manner was appalling and talking to adults with no respect it would never happen in the homes of the parents I knew sad sad the Persian people I knew also said it wasn't very Forthcoming at all disappointed YES I must say I did love Asha and her family The Jewish Mike his Family Reza and his family and it really does matter how much your family loves and shares love some people can't ever change GG IS A NIGHTMARE A UNFORGIVING NIGHTMARE She should of been taken off the show the 1st season I stopped watching the 3rd season not worth it another minute.
