It’s giving out of touch

Kim : kim being on SNL Kourtney: engagement. Kendall : not being able to cut a cucumber, over all boring really.. Khloe: beautiful new house, got cheated on again…. Kylie: was there … for maybe two episodes… Corey: 🧍🏾‍♂️ Overall let’s say the show was a waste of my time… it was poorly organized, written and overall boring… Every episode you could see through the attempt to play the “. You guys have to stay tuned, we have more” - card , but honestly we’ve seen 10 episodes now. They were a MESS…. I can honestly say I don’t understand why they came back…

What's the Story?

THE KARDASHIANS, a sequel to Keeping Up with the Kardashians, is an unscripted series featuring the reality-famous Kardashian family. Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, along with Kendall and Kylie Jenner, and, of course, matriarch Kris, are living their lives in the public. Along with their partners and children, they let life unfold in front of the cameras, negotiating parenthood, past and current relationships, career moves, and other life events that come their way.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (2):
Kids say (3):

This predictable unscripted series picks up almost two years after Keeping Up with the Kardashians left off, and features all the expected reality drama one comes to expect from the franchise. The women are now a bit older, and some of them make a point of discussing how motherhood is the priority of their lives. But a lot of focus of the show is on their relationship issues, including some that made headlines before the series premiered. Meanwhile, despite voicing frustrations about living their lives in front of the cameras, they all seem ready and willing to do so. If you're a Kardashian fan, no doubt you'll find The Kardashians worth tuning into. But if you're not, you won't find much here.
