Netflix series slammed by frustrated viewers as 'most hateable TV show ever'

Netflix's latest offering, Buying London, has been hit with a barrage of brutal critiques. Some have even branded it as "probably the most hateable TV show ever made".

The fresh drama landed on Netflix on Wednesday (May 22) and has gone viral. The series explores the life of real estate tycoon Daniel Daggers and his team at DDRE Global as they navigate the high-stakes world of London's property market.

Echoing the likes of other Netflix hits like Selling Sunset and Buying Beverly Hills, Buying London focuses on swanky neighbourhoods such as Mayfair and Holland Park. Not only does the show showcase some seriously luxurious homes, but it also delves into the personal dramas of Daniel and his team.

Only a day after the show dropped, it got plenty of attention. Although not all chatter was positive, reports Wales Online.

Rebecca Nicholson from The Guardian was less than enthralled with the show. "I usually love to gawp at rich people and their wallpaper," she commented.

"But this British version of the real-estate reality show Selling Sunset is tired, tone-deaf and shamefully crass. Watching it will work you up into a total rage." She went on to say: "Buying London [is] probably the most hateable TV show ever made."

Meanwhile, Anita Singh from The Telegraph, in her two-star critique, wrote: "You wonder how many of these houses the team actually sell, because the production has such an air of unreality."

The Independent's review is similarly scathing, with reviewer Ed Cumming writing: "It's post-truth television. The people on screen aren't reciting a script, they've just learned through prolonged exposure to "scripted reality" shows to actually speak like this."
