And just like that… we suddenly have a new contender for bottom of the barrel of the toxic wasteland that is reality TV.
Milf Manor is a dating show you certainly didn’t ask for. But, once you catch a glimpse, you just might not be able to look away, despite its ultimately sexist and conservative premise dressed up as taboo-breaking.
Nancy Jo Sales does a great job of explaining just what is so wrong about the show in a Guardian opinion piece.
But perhaps you just want to meet the men of the manor, who—spoiler alert and Oedipal twist—are the actual, 100% real-life sons of the hot moms looking for love.
These kinds of shows look stupid. Just like Real Housewives. All boring and for the void of taste. Scripted fake shows.
Of course it’s stupid, that’s why it’s fun. Escapism doesn’t come in only one flavour.
