We cannot sit here with a straight face and say that Monday night’s episode of “UnREAL” was an easy one to watch. It was tough. This was an emotional, gut-wrenching episode, and at times it was even uncomfortable. One of the trickiest things about this show is mostly that the people on it are for […]
We have admittedly spent much of the past couple of weeks concerned very much over the fate of “UnREAL.” This is a smart, addictive take on reality television, but also one that seemed to struggle at times in the ratings. To be fair, though, the first four episodes were available in advance on Lifetime. Maybe […]
We have been proponents for a long time of Lifetime’s “UnREAL.” It’s a wonderful yet biting take on reality TV production, and as someone who has seem them from the inside, there are definitely parts of it that feel familiar. However, we admit in the early going that we were worried somewhat about the commercial […]
While much of Monday night’s new episode of “UnREAL” revolved for the most part around the relationship between Adam Cromwell and Faith, this show cannot spend too much time on a single suitor when there are still so many left. Therefore, do not be altogether shocked that next week’s “Fly” will be focusing more on […]
Despite the fact that Lifetime posted the first four episodes of “UnREAL” in advance online for viewers to get hooked, what was particularly interesting about tonight’s “Truth” is that it may actually be the best one of the entire series so far. If anyone was not positively hooked on the series before this episode, they certainly […]
It has already been very much well-documented just how desperate the production of “Everlasting” on Lifetime’s “UnREAL” is when it comes to making big TV moments. They really do not care who they embarrass, how the embarrassment happens, or what sort of ramifications could about as a result. As long as they produce good entertainment, […]
One of the great joys of watching Lifetime’s “UnREAL” is one of the unique ways the show’s conceit (their take on a reality dating show and its twisted production) allows it to break the typical TV mold. For example, you tend to know that unless someone is killed off, the people you see at the […]
This is proving to be a pretty weak year when it comes to scripted content on Lifetime. We’ve already seen the network cancel “Witches of East End,” and now “UnREAL” is a major disappointment commercially (it’s still awesome creatively) and even the flagship “Devious Maids” is struggling. In the numbers released from last night per […]
Faith has been one of the more entertaining contestants throughout the first four episodes of Lifetime’s “UnREAL.” She is a kind, humble woman who desperately wants acceptance, and was completely unaware early on that she was pegged for the most part as a joke contestant, someone destined to flame out early and be mocked when the […]
There is a certain part of us that cannot help but want some sort of trashy Rachel / Adam romantic storyline on Lifetime’s “UnREAL,” even if that is totally what a show on Lifetime would do and this series has for the most part circumvented most of the expectations that we would have for it […]
