Netflix's new reality series 'Buying London', akin to its popular US counterpart 'Selling Sunset', has been met with harsh criticism from British media.
The show focuses on DDRE Global, an estate agency serving London’s most exclusive areas, and follows agents who flaunt their high-end listings on social media.
A zero-star review by the Guardian's Rebecca Nicholson called it 'probably the most hateable TV show ever made', criticizing its superficiality and lack of charm.
Other reviewers like the Telegraph’s Anita Singh echoed similar sentiments, referring to it as 'artificial and vulgar'.
Despite the negative press, Netflix embraced the bad reviews in its promotions, choosing to highlight the critique rather than more favorable opinions such as the Evening Standard’s four-star review.
