If I was to start watching it as a newbie what is the best/most iconic series?

RHONY season 2 onwards

RHONY season 2 onwards

beansontoast85 · 23/08/2025 20:57

OC and Beverley Hills are the absolute best! So jealous you’re just starting your real housewives journey!!

ghostyslovesheets · 23/08/2025 20:58

So fab I posted twice

Im also a big Dallas fan and SLC and RHOP are good

KiteFlight · 23/08/2025 20:58

RHONJ has always been my favourite. I’ve never been able to get into any of the others.

hangerup · 23/08/2025 20:59

Salt Lake City but I also love Beverly Hills

Thispupsgottofly · 23/08/2025 21:01

Oh dear, no general consensus as yet!

I like BH. Never seen any of the others - they just don't appeal though no idea why!

Bramble88 · 23/08/2025 21:10

miami!

prettybluebell · 23/08/2025 21:12

Dallas, Beverly Hills and Orange County.

Thispupsgottofly · 23/08/2025 21:13

It seems I'm actually a bit limited as to what I can find on my various streaming services 😔

I can only watch Beverly Hills, I can’t seem to get into any of the others. Although I recently saw they have made a London one so I might give that a go

Minniliscious · 23/08/2025 21:14

I only watch Orange County! I don’t know how that happened out of all the others but I love it - so much drama.

NeedSomeHeadspace · 23/08/2025 21:15

I grew up in Cheshire so watch the RHOC. They’re all so fake and ghastly I cringe throughout every episode!

BlossomValley · 23/08/2025 21:19

New Jersey!

heroinechic · 23/08/2025 21:20

Beverley Hills is the best IMO!

Close runners up are Orange County and New Jersey.

I also watch Atlanta & Salt Lake City. Both are fine but not on the same level as the others! I’ve never tried New York or Miami.

twilightcafe · 23/08/2025 21:21

Beverly Hills
Atlanta
Ladies of London (only lasted 2 seasons; and two characters died)

Thispupsgottofly · 23/08/2025 21:25

Ok so next question - where do you stream it from?
Most of the things I have only start from the more decent series and I kind of want to watch from the beginning of a series.
I have Netflix, prime, itvx

Hayu

Hayu

Yup

ghostyslovesheets · 23/08/2025 21:31

Hayu is an extra on Prime

IchiNiSanShiGo · 23/08/2025 21:39

Hayu is WELL worth the £5.99 a month or whatever it is. ALL the housewives seasons (including the Aussie ones, and the South African ones), ALL the Below Decks and so many more.

Start with RHONY, but I’d say don’t watch all the RHONY seasons in one go. Maybe, RHONY 1, RHONY 2, RHOBH 1, and then see what you think. Miami is KILLING it at the mo, but savour it. Same with SLC. Oh god, and Melbourne. Gina from Melbourne is one of the GOATs.

OC is the original but it’s a very different beast from the 1st season.

If you’re not going with HAYU, just go with whatever streaming service has the most episodes, that you can start from season 1. Remember if you’re starting with season 1 of any of them, give it time for the “wives” to find their groove. Dive in. Enjoy.

New York, Beverley hills and Orange county

Omg, I’m so jealous. You get to watch NY and Miami with a fresh pair of eyes. Go for it 🍎🦩
