If you liked Jersey Shore and Geordie shore you probably won't like this try-hard MTV show with characters who make up the excrement of the human gene pool.A poorly written, poorly scripted reality-TV atrocity. All the people are trash...and not in the cool 'nouveau art' sense of the word, I mean they are human garbage.Every scene contains try-hard attention seeking partying or try-hard lines. They even try and concoct some sort of love story between to the two most insanely unlikeable people on earth. I feel sorry for the Welsh people who have to deal with these low renters. Not to mention the main guy who tries to run the show, with the ridiculous haircut, he also looks like a major try-hard.You will feel embarrassed while watching this show. MTV - what are you doing? I know you guys suck, but is this how low you've sunken now? Conclusion: Bunch of loser welsh people, try too hard to look cool and MTV decided to film it. Obvious scripted scenes, producers cue the morons on the show to say certain things...it's so transparent, it really is garbage TV.

I personally love this show. I watched the first few episodes on the Dutch MTV. but I couldn't wait so I immediately watched the rest on the internet. It is about a few boys and girls who live in the valleys in Wales and they desperately want to get out of there because there are no opportunities. Which sounds logical knowing the huge crisis in Wales and no jobs available at all.In my opinion they are even crazier than the Jersey and Geordie shore cast combined. Those people don't know about holding back, that is what makes it even more fun after watching Geordie and jersey shore.If you are questioning about watching this TV show, because you think it can't be better than jersey or Geordie shore. I advice you to just give it a go for a few episodes. I think you will keep following the series after that.

Although "The Valleys" is just another shitty reality shore almost identical to the likes of Geordie Shore. I can't help but tune in every week to see what sort of mayhem these horny Welsh valley kids will get up to. I will admit, I am a sucker for these types of shows, I love Geordie Shore and any show that resembles it will definitely be a likable show to me. The characters are all ridiculously slutty and some are foul mouthed and self obsessed but this is what makes this show work, scripted or not (I'm unsure with these sort of shows) it makes great television. Due to the nature I couldn't see many people above 25 watching this show as it is supposed to be watched by a teen audience. Though not comparable to Geordie shore, I still think that "The Valleys" is a good watch for all those that enjoy shows like Geordie Shore.
