What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Paris in Love is Paris Hilton's latest foray into at reality TV and relevance. A camera crew follows the heiress as she prepares for her upcoming wedding ceremony. Celebrities and consumerism are front and center. Some curse words like "bitch" are sprinkled in, while others are bleeped out. There's not much going on in the way of plot, but the show makes effort to address mental health issues and healing from past trauma.

What's the Story?
In PARIS IN LOVE, the heiress to the Hilton empire is back on the reality TV screen – this time to marry the love of her life. After soul searching and healing from her past traumas, Paris Hilton reconnects with an old friend, and after dating for close to two years, the couple decides to marry. This show follows the journey from engagement to nuptials with all of the excess and extravagance one would expect from the Simple Life star whose real life is anything but simple.
Is It Any Good?
Excess and extravagance are a facade for much ado about nothing. At the same time, Paris in Love attempts a little more depth than your typical Paris Hilton reality show. It touches on mental health issues that are relatable to the average person, like healing from past traumas. Other notable details include the dynamic relationship between Paris and her sister, Nicky, and the relief of finally falling in love after so many heartbreaks.
Nonetheless, these efforts at humanizing the larger-than-life Paris Hilton brand are futile against the backdrop of her overly opulent lifestyle. Add to that the fact that nothing much happens in the show, and it's questionable how many viewers will still be tuning in by the time they reach the wedding episode. In the pilot, viewers repeatedly see Hilton sitting down for conversations that go on way too long with members of her inner circle. Paris Hilton loyalists may choose to tune in to catch up on the latest chapter of her life; everyone else will likely want to use their precious time more meaningfully.
