I thought I couldn’t stand reality TV, yet in the most dispiriting moments of lockdown I found myself turning on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Atlanta and New York in a bid for relief, half paying attention. There are some cracking episodes, but mostly it turns out to be filled with petty arguments invented for airtime.
All that changed when I lost last weekend to a new show: Bling Empire. Charting the extravagances of the real-life ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ of Los Angeles, it is a kaleidoscope of diamonds, couture and power. And its stars exhibit the kind of spending muscle Real Housewives can only dream of.
