: 'Buying Beverly Hills': Why I’m Not Sold on Alexia Umansky’s Journey in Season 2

I recently gave *Buying Beverly Hills* on Netflix a shot, and after watching three episodes, I can honestly say that I’m not quite sure how this show managed to secure a second season. The series follows the glamorous yet pressure-filled world of luxury real estate in Los Angeles, with Alexia Umansky, the daughter of *Real Housewives of Beverly Hills* star Kyle Richards and her ex-husband Mauricio Umansky, stepping into the spotlight.

The premise seemed promising: young, ambitious agents trying to make their mark by selling multi-million-dollar properties. These aren’t just your average homes — we’re talking about estates with price tags well over a million, sometimes creeping into the tens of millions. It’s a high-stakes game, and for Alexia, the stakes seem even higher as she works to prove herself in a field her father dominates.

However, from what I’ve seen, Alexia struggles to find her footing. There’s nothing particularly new or interesting about her storyline. Sure, she’s dealing with the challenge of selling homes that are far beyond the average person’s budget, but the show somehow manages to make the whole process feel flat. I mean, how many times can you watch someone struggle to sell a mansion? The show tries to add drama, but it feels forced, lacking the spark that reality TV is supposed to deliver.

The real estate itself is stunning — I’ll give it that. These homes are far from your average listings. They’re extravagant, opulent, and come with all the luxury you’d expect in Beverly Hills. But unfortunately, even the gorgeous backdrops and glamorous homes can’t save the show from feeling repetitive and, frankly, a bit boring.

After three episodes, I’m left wondering why I should keep watching. Alexia’s journey might resonate with some viewers who are interested in seeing her step out of her famous parents’ shadow, but for me, it’s not enough. The show doesn’t bring anything new to the table, and I’m still scratching my head as to how *Buying Beverly Hills* managed to land a second season.

For those hoping to get hooked on drama, high-stakes deals, and personal triumphs, this one might fall flat. Maybe I’ll check in on it again later, but for now, it feels like there’s nothing here to see.

๐Ÿฟ Once Upon a Time in Beverly Hills (minus some ladies)

๐Ÿฟ Once Upon a Time in Beverly Hills (minus some ladies) RHOBH used to be about glitz, glam, drama, and personalities with something to lose — or gain. At its peak, it had chaotic friendships, sparkling wardrobes, back-room blowups, and a twisted sense of loyalty. But lately? It’s beginning to feel less like “Real Housewives” and more like “Real House-of-Cards.” And this season — with the exit of Garcelle Beauvais — might just prove it. Garcelle wasn’t just another cast member. She was one of the few who seemed to bring a bit of heart and a dash of backbone to the chaos. And yet — after five seasons — she walked. Dramatically. Without a reunion photo. Without apologies. Saying bluntly, “I’m done.” Sweetheart, same. So yes — I’m done too. ๐Ÿ”ฅ Why I’m Ready to Drop the “Housewives” Label 1. Loyalty isn’t a thing anymore — it’s a sales pitch It used to be that friendships on RHOBH were messy and flawed but lived-in. Back-stage back-ups, side alliances, shady calls, bu...

Reality TV, Redemption & Receipts: What Are You Signing Up For?

Reality TV, Redemption & Receipts: What Are You Signing Up For? When you say yes to reality TV, what are you really saying yes to? Former two-time America’s Next Top Model contestant Lisa D'Amato is speaking out ahead of the Netflix documentary Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model, and baby… it’s giving unfinished business. And if you’re someone dreaming of going on reality TV (and I know you love writing about reality shows and how to get cast ๐Ÿ‘€), this conversation matters. Let’s break this down — and ask the real questions. Why Watch the Documentary at All? Lisa says she’ll be watching the Netflix documentary — but not for nostalgia. She wants to see how the experiences are edited. That word right there: edited. Because when you film a reality show, you don’t own the narrative. The producers do. She’s concerned the stories may be “softened.” That trauma might be packaged neatly. That accountability might feel… polished. So here’s the first question: ๐Ÿ‘‰ ...
