Synopsis

Set against the backdrop of a hit dating competition show, "UnREAL" is led by Rachel, a young staffer whose sole job is to manipulate her relationships with and among the contestants to get the vital dramatic and outrageous footage the program's dispassionate executive producer demands. What ensues is a humorous, yet vexing, look at what happens in the world of unscripted television, where being a contestant can be vicious and producing it is a whole other reality.

Interesteg What makes it different from others?
Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Iain Gardiner This show makes itself trite each episode. It's so repetitive. I love thrillers, horror, comedy, drama, sci-fi, fantasy and so on, which means I'm a thick-skinned viewer who can deal with a lot, but really this is nastiness that's rarely funny or clever. There's an underbelly of rot below the 'pretty' which feels very real.
gretchenw1976 This show, disappoints me, like most of my other shows of 2017..with the BS #metoo mess thrown in it..i've been over it..please no more.. More disappointing than that, is I am finding that this show like a lot of shows seem to struggle with the same story lines every year. I like the premise of the show. The reality tv angle. Does Rachel and her ex have to quit every year? Why can't she just say she loves what she does? It's boring. Same broken Rachel every year..write something new already..This idea that Rachel is so beautiful and irresistible. How are they selling that? She isn't even pretty. How old is she 30 something? She looks likes she is in her late 40's. All the sex on the show is misplaced. It just isn't written in well, not this season. The suitress or whatever slept with like 4 of the guys. Rachel, what sleeps with who ever is around when she gets upset or stressed? Quinn..um she looks like she is 100 yrs old who even wants to sleep with her? The way Quinn's friend, the shrink and the love story for the gay guy were written in was very awkward, I don't know if they were just trying to throw some PC actors in the show but they did an awful job writing them in the story line. There just wasn't any point to them being there. If Quinn's friend is going to be her new boss and a part of the show now, they should have done a better job of finding a way to get her in the show. It's crazy how the shows premise was feminism, and the young chick (i'm bad with names) comes in and says to the new boss how she is so glad that a woman is a head of the studio now blah blah, but this is the same girl whose idea of advancement is to sleep her way to the top..no matter man or woman. Mmmm that is not very "feminist" at all. I like the show because it pokes fun at reality tv which is very stupid, that is what keeps me watching. I imagine that the making of reality tv shows is as absurd as this show makes it seems, probably worse. The dating shows, (I have never watched any of them) are truly stupid. As if one could really find love that way. Next season Rachel is the one looking for love. I can only imagine how dumb that will be. I believe they are running out of material. If that is the case let it go..
Emily F The plot line and acts of manipulation are genius. Like, scarily genius. I find myself relating to every character in some way. And through every episode, I have a complete 360 emotional response to every single character. You love them, then HATE them! (omg how can he/she do that?!) and right back to loving them; all in one episode. I've never been so addicted to a show this fast.
v_ro06 This Show started off strong in the first season and I'm now kind of confused of the direction of the second season which seems to be a more or less mimicking the idea of season 1.None the less i have to give this show some credit. Not terrible acting and a story line that is VERY different. I like this show not necessarily because of what it is but more what it represent. I would describe it as introduction to media manipulation. This concept in television has seen a really big rise lately with Scandal, Mr. Robot and House of Cards. And UnReal addresses this new idea under the light of a reality TV rather than political. Not your top of the line big show like the previously mentioned are but now too far down the list for when you feel like a lighter show. Bonus if your guilty pleasure is reality TV and drama, you will definitely satisfy that craving with this one.
