The Only Way Is Essex is a reality series which follows some people living in Essex, including a club promoter, a would-be model, a member of a girl band and two bar workers. Each episode features action filmed just a few days previously.Live Streaming Video Free Online Tv at Home Game online for Live stream Video on your Online TV Broad cast well, as i live 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 When I saw the adverts for the show I initially thought, wow. 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.
