I’ve literally just binge watched it and I’m now on Season 2!Blush

Is it real or staged? Some of it has been pretty intense and awful to watch, the bitchiness especially but seriously, I really can’t get enough of it and how the other half live!

Money doesn’t buy you everything does it!

In a world where everything seems so tense atm this really has taken me away from it all!

Anyone else have a guilty pleasure?

I’ve even Googled some of the characters and found out that I’m way behind on this!

Little Fires Everywhere on Prime Wink

I may or may not have also watched TRH too... of Atlanta. It's ten years old and I'm raging there are only two series!!!

SavageBeauty73 · 07/06/2020 23:44

I'm season 3 of Below Deck. It's serious trash and I'm addicted!

SavageBeauty73 · 07/06/2020 23:45

@surlycurly some of the wives from Atlanta were just on my episode of Below Deck. Trash meets trashy TV.

Teen Mom UK.

It makes me feel better about my life Blush

Florrieboo · 07/06/2020 23:50

You are way behind, we are up to season 10 and this season is AMAZING!

ssd · 07/06/2020 23:51

I live RHOBH, can't wait till we get season 10 here.

Swiftsseason · 07/06/2020 23:52

Op it's my total trashy guilty pleasure I love it.. Love it!

Not keen on any other series, I did quite like new York... But I prefer bev hills!! Love the houses etc.. Must be loosely scripted.

Florrieboo · 07/06/2020 23:56

I actually like Cheshire as well, they are rough as guts but entertaining to watch.
I am in Australia and we have a Melbourne version that has been off the air for a few years but is coming back soon, and had a Sydney version that only lasted 1 season I think.

babyboyworries · 07/06/2020 23:57

The Beverley Hills housewives gets pretty dark at some points from what I remember.. in the early seasons anyway- haven't seen later ones!

LucyTrainsDragons · 08/06/2020 00:03

@Florrieboo Shock I’m well behind!

It really is compelling viewing!

I’m glad I’m not the only one who loves it. The glamour, the parties, the shoes, clothes and yes, the houses Shock Only problem is the food looks amazing and I’m often watching it in the evenings, I end up opening a bag of Frazzles while watching them eat another amazing lunch!

Going to make notes of all your trashy guilty tv Grin

Shitts Creek on Netflix is my stress relieving guilty pleasure at the moment.

Oldsu · 08/06/2020 00:56

Well since lock down I have binged watched all the Star Treks, TOS, Next Gen, Voyager, DS9, Disco, (not Picard yet) The Orville (not trek but very good) now I am on Criminal Minds

GinWithASplashOfTonic · 08/06/2020 01:00

Below deck is soooo good and such a guilty pleasure - first 2 seasons arw on Netflix. The others and the spin offs are on Hayu which I may have subscribed to just for this show

Rich spoilt guests. Hot 😍 crew. Beautiful Caribbean scenery. What's not to like

Hepte · 08/06/2020 01:03

I'm binge watching dynasty on Netflix! Its so bad it's amazing!

OhioOhioOhio · 08/06/2020 01:04

This is us. Omg. It is perfect.

HUCKMUCK · 08/06/2020 01:06

@Hepte me too! It is SO bad! But I love it!

Moanranger · 08/06/2020 01:10

I have watched nearly all of Arrested Development, which is something like eleventy billion episodes. I missed it when it first was on terrestrial channels at really odd times.
Completely insane - first 3 seasons the best

JessicaDay · 08/06/2020 01:17

RHOBH was real the first two or three seasons. Season 2 gets really real and pretty dark. Pretty staged now though.

When you’re finished the first two seasons on Netflix, you can get it on hayu, it’s shown a day after it’s shown in the states. You can get a 30 day free trial of hayu with Prime, or 7 days on Now TV.

Lots of other Real Housewives on there too- New York, Atlanta, Potomac and Orange County are the ones I follow. There’s also the spin off based round Lisa’s restaurant SUR, Vanderpump Rules. You might also like the BravoRealhousewives sub on reddit.

It’s only £5.99 a month after the trial. Well worth it! So trashy.

I am quite liking Dynasty on Netflix just now too.

wishful2012 · 08/06/2020 01:29

Selling sunset on Netflix but only 2 seasons

glasgow357 · 08/06/2020 01:42

There's only two seasons on Netflix and prime wants you to pay for it! I was gutted. Binged the first two last week

Ispini · 08/06/2020 01:43

Love, love , love it! And the Real Housewives of New York and Orange County are brilliant too. My 13 and 15 year old girls roll their eyes evertime I look at it as does DH but tough!
It’s my lockdown fluffy nonsense pleasure! I love just looking at their houses, ridiculously spoilt dogs and fight inducing holidays.

Dita73 · 08/06/2020 02:51

Don’t have “guilty pleasures”. If you like something then just like it. Bollocks to what anyone else thinks. Everyone loves a bit of crap tv now and then. Enjoy and be proud!

3cats · 08/06/2020 03:26

I was going to say that I was thinking about watching Dynasty next. It looks fabulous. I tend to cycle from dark/serious to light/silly.

I’ll check out Real Housewives and Selling Subset too.

AuntieBiotic · 08/06/2020 03:39

Selling Sunset is insane. I love it. I’m going to try RHs now I’ve read this thread. Didn’t think to try it . I think 3rd season of Selling Sunset starts in Aug. I’m eagerly waiting . The houses, the outfits, the bitchiness, the hustling . Perfect.
