Negative Reviews

Reception of “Rich Kids of Beverly Hills” is mixed. As a reality show, actual events and circumstances that take place in the lives of these young people are portrayed. But many viewers feel as though the show sounds scripted, and that the “kids” seem as though they are always aware of the camera. Others have said that it is degrading for the main characters to give the material world so much importance, and that they should be using their wealth for productive actions, like helping those less fortunate rather than getting drunk and buying obscenely expensive items. This show has been described as shallow, with mundane problems being reacted to as really big deals, and that the characters are too into themselves to realize this.

Positive Reviews

There are other viewers tend to enjoy the friendships among the group and feel that these relationships are sincere. In this area, the characters are just like any other twenty-somethings regardless of how much money they have. The show is also described as being very funny at times and quite entertaining. Both the media and viewers have pointed out the fact that the young people whose lives are portrayed on the show are very smart PR-wise. After all, they are on TV! Another area of strength is that each member of the group is very tech-savvy and incorporate social technology into their day to day activities. Although some have complained about the adult language and activities on the show, others have pointed out that drinking and swearing are quite common among people of this age group, regardless of their income and social status. So maybe the only question left is, will there be a season 3?
