Netflix’s spin-off of “Selling Sunset,” “Selling the OC,” leaves viewers enticed and entertained throughout the series.
Released on Aug. 24, “Selling the OC” stars the Oppenheim brothers, Jason and Brett. The cast consists of Alexandra (Alex) Hall, Austin Victoria, Alexandra Jarvis, Alexandra Rose, Polly Brindle, Kayla Cardona, and Gio Helou.
This series takes place in the Oppenheim Real Estate in Orange County, California. The show starts off immediately showing each person’s inherent personality. All the real estate agents constantly cause noise and brawls in the office either for the sake of being the “top selling agent,” or just due to pettiness. Even though major fights in the Oppenheim office are blatantly immature and problematic, the series brilliantly finds a way to keep the audience engaged and entertained.
One of the most questionable aspects in “Selling the OC” has to do with the division in the office. Whether this show is completely scripted or not, the exclusion of Alexandra Jarvis and Alexandra Rose is problematic in a professional setting. Although, due to this being a reality show, the audience sees it as an engaging plot. The series perfectly exemplifies certain scenes to get the audience immersed while immediately picking sides.
Although, besides the immense amount of drama, the houses displayed in the show were jaw-dropping and gorgeous. The houses that mainly stood out were the ones located in Newport Beach or San Clemente. The interior designs of those houses were entirely extra to the point of exceeding all Oppenheim agents’ expectations. The plant walls, the height, and the architecture left many watching astonished and curious about the clients.
Also, the additional elements of parties and individual brunch were the perfect touches to this reality series. Leaving the workplace environment lets the viewers see things much more distinctly than how they saw things at the beginning. The audience started to learn more about the agents and mainly left them either looking up to one or left entirely horrified by another.
The camera crew exceeded expectations by showing every angle of each real estate displayed. Covering acres of houses, viewers were drawn in with every part of the house shown. Each part of the exclusive 106 mil house in Newport Beach was caught on camera and astounded the audience.
This show lets viewers step into the binge worthy world of Oppenheim Group Real Estate. “Selling the OC” lives up to expectations of the Netflix, “Selling,” series. The audience were not disappointed with the amount of entertaining intensity, drama, and striking houses shown throughout.
