What's the Story?
EUROS OF HOLLYWOOD features six ambitious people from various European countries living in LA to fulfill their American dreams. Some of the expats, such as Italian actor Massimo Dobrovic, Austrian singer Fawni, German DJ Sascha Gerecht, and Albanian singer Bleona, are celebrities in their (and other) countries but are trying to break into the American entertainment industry. However, Jannik Olander left Denmark without a dime and is now enjoying a wealthy playboy lifestyle thanks to a successful Rodeo Drive business. Also joining them is former Swedish TV personality Isabel Adrian, best known in America as the wife of DJ and former Swedish House Mafia member Steve Angello. Some are completely rebuilding their lives, whereas others are simply trying to improve theirs. No matter what their goals are, they all have to figure out the Hollywood way of doing things if they're going to make it.
Is It Any Good?
From jump-starting a singing career after divorcing an American husband/manager to working on an American accent to land acting gigs, the people in this small group of Europeans are taking on the LA scene. Some struggle to adjust to not being treated as well as they are at home, and a few reveal some serious challenges, including being forced to leave their families while trying to reach their goals.
Euros of Hollywood follows the formula of most Bravo TV reality shows, which includes superficial arguments, relationship drama, drinking, and lots of cursing. There also are frequent stereotypical references to Americans and different European ethnicities. Those looking for some voyeuristic pleasure will find this satisfying, but if you're not, it's just not worth watching.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about what it's like to live as an expatriate in the United States. What does being an expatriate actually mean? What are some of the benefits of living as an expat in another country? Challenges?
Do you think the generalizations made by some of the cast members on this show reflect how Americans and other communities are perceived in Europe? Or do you think their comments are being made to create drama in front of the cameras?
