This 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 MoreThis TV show is dire, it is terrible, I do not like most of these Soap opera type of shows these days, but this is a whole new level of BAD. While most soap operas have some sort of engaging theme or interesting scenes with some action. Made in Chelsea has nothing, it is literally just endless conversations with occasional swear words just jotted throughout the dialogue. I am not joking when this is what happens in the show: 80% talking, 15% crying, 4% music and 1% where anything interesting happens. Most of the plot lines are usually recycled from other soap operas like Eastenders. This show is right at the bottom of the pecking order. TL;DR Nothing happens in this show, it feels like someone just taped a conversation and told the head of Channel 4: "this is a great new soap opera we have made", and seeing as channel 4 are so desperate they have no choice but to approve it for viewing3/10 for Terrible. DO NOT WATCH!
... View MoreWhilst some of the individuals featured are probably interesting people, the format of the show reduces everyone to two-dimensional pawns in an endless incestuous dating circle. The haze of sepia, the indie pop soundtrack and the choice tracking shots of posh London suburbs all serve to lend this a veneer of class and style, but there's nothing of substance underneath. The cast seem content to appear as empty-headed, simplistic and egotistical people, in exchange for a presumably large sum of money. Every episode is so bloody tedious and the producers so lacking in creativity that the only variable is who is shagging who behind who's back.Waste of television.
... 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..
