... View MoreA Major Disappointment
... View MoreEach character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
... View MoreA terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
... View MoreThis is a structured-reality show on E4. It's about a large group of rich, privately-educated young adults who live in West London. They love having a large number of short-term relationships and are very keen on cheating during those relationships by having casual sex with other people. They also enjoy a lot of casual sex whilst single. Why then, do we never see them in bed with each other - let alone having sex? Hearing the participants talk about their sex lives is the highlight of show - so why don't we ever see any of them passionately kiss - let alone have sex?
... View MoreA pointless show, featuring vacuous people leading utterly pointless lives. The plots are moronic and show the worst elements of human nature.The men are spineless and incapable of forming meaningful relationships with the female cast members. Indeed, one comes to the conclusion that the males would be far happier being in relationships with each other.The women come across as clingy and needy individuals whose main preoccupation is shopping and specializing.There may be worse reality shows, but to date I have not found any.Pointless drivel.
... View MoreThere are many different types off shows out there. If you are looking for an action packed thriller then obviously this is not the right show for you...When rating a TV show, we are comparing it to other TV shows we have watched, how interesting we found it, and how entertaining it was. MIC is funny and sometimes silly, which serves as a good contrast to a very different show like Game of Thrones which is very serious. It is not particularly academic except in teaching one ways not to live, it doesn't tease the brain, and it doesn't leave one marvelling at the acting genius. However it is a decent watch which is just fun and keeps the audience entertained. The flamboyant lifestyles portrayed are enviable and if you cannot watch a show without feeling anger towards wealthier people then...don't watch it. I would recommend this show if you are sitting at home, bored and looking for a series to start watching. It can be funny and I genuinely have enjoyed watching thus far. Some people criticise the show because they say it is scripted. To make a show entertaining there are certain guidelines a director might propose but the show is not fully scripted, in that the speech of the actors has not fully been premeditated by someone else.
... View MoreSince the trend of The Hills began in the USA started a few years ago, we have seen a number of spin offs and then some imitations. There was The City and others that don't deserve memory. The genre of faux reality then made it across the pond to brighten our TV screens with the televisual event of 2010 - The Only way is Essex. TOWIE (as it has become known in the glossy mags) was cringe worthy, terribly shot, idiotic and mind numbing, yet it won a place in the nations heart because of relatability and the fact that you could sneer at the TV screen on your high horse. Made in Chelsea, however, is everything that TOWIE is apart from the lovability. The characters (sorry, REAL PEOPLE) are genuine arses who lack any of the wonderful absent mindedness which attracts us to the Essex based variant. A very good example would be on TOWIE, when a group of the subjects go on a poorly planned camping trip and hilarity inevitably ensues. The contrasty on MIC involves some very rich frolicking in Cannes. Most of us have had bad camping experiences which we can look back on with a smile, but the fact that this supposedly reality based show takes their minions to a place which few of us could afford to buy a beer, alienates the viewer to the point of no return.This programme is genuinely awful. If you would like a TV show to numb your mind after a day at work, watch TOWIE, or better still, something with a script......wait..
