in Essex i thought i might give it a go, although i had
my doubts before i had even seen it, and i wasn't wrong, i'm not sure
where you got these people from but what an embarrassment to Essex,
yeah, the types that are portrayed can be seen hanging around the likes
of Sugar Hut etc but day to day Essex people are nowhere near as
shallow as they are portrayed in this rubbish programme. The acting is
completely wooden and false, do they have a script? it looks like they
don't, the language is more "Thames Estuary" than Essex, and it makes
out the girls to look like tarts. Where abouts in Essex are these
people from? There are a lot of shots from the Brentwood area, but i
don't know anyone from Brentwood that behave like them, does Pixie Lott
sound like that? i think not, so disgusted were the Essex folk that the
programme made the Essex Chronicle with an unfavourable report, so
please just give it up.i for one will not be wasting any more of my
time watching such complete drivel, even 1/10 is far too generous
The UK
has collected in on the money train of a half reality/half fiction
show, such as The Hills or The City. I have never been a fan of these
shows but when they said it was based around the the lives of the Essex
young I thought, yeah this could really work. Everyone I have ever met
from Essex has always been fun, full of energy, classy with an
extraordinary personality. In my mind the concept could not go wrong
and initially I thought this type of show will spawn the next
generation of young stars in the UK that girls will want to dress like
and boys will fantasise over. Boy was I wrong......
I understand that there is a certain amount of "making things up to create good tele" but at least with the Hills its sometimes believable. These girls and guys make Essex people look really dumb and shallow and I would be ashamed of myself if I was a native to the county. Yes of course there are elements in the characters that are true to real people but they are not defined by these ridiculous statements and poor decisions that these characters seem to live by?
As with any bad show, one can sometimes find the "tongue in cheek" value that is sometimes contrived, but I genuinely believe the producers are trying to buy into the fact that these things happen on a day to day basis and they want us to follow their lives with real interest. If you have not seen an episode yet, do so with an open mind but I am sure if you have an once of decency and respect in your bodies you will come to similar conclusions as I have.
This is not the sort of show I will be chatting about down the pub and that's what TV should be about. Please remove this terrible show from a valuable Sunday night slot and replace it with a show that doesn't make me angry about the world. MTV reality shows like "Jersey Shore" and "The Hills", "The Only Way is Essex" follows the supposed lives of a group of nouveau-riche twenty-somethings in Essex, adhering to the common stereotypes of the respective county - big yet tasteless houses, huge nightclubs and wild parties, tarty blondes coated in fake tan (with a token gay friend at their side), manly men who enjoy doing manly things, and of course, a no-nonsense grandmother who's fiercer than an RAF division. In a departure from a good number of British reality shows, the scenes are almost all evidently staged and cut, with a perfect level of soap-opera histrionics and bad acting thrown in for good measure. As such, the show comes across as a parade of cardboard cutouts devoid of any personality against a set of sterile backdrops.
