MTV follows eight teens living in Laguna Beach nearing the end of high school and beginning the next chapter of their lives/After high school graduation, "Laguna Beach" alumna Lauren sets out to live on her own in Los Angeles and work as an intern at Teen Vogue.
Don't watch this show. Just don't do it. This is the kind of MTV trash out there for when you have the flu or need a pick me up because you feel stupid.
So ultimately it's the perfect show(s) to watch during finals week study breaks. Laguna Beach focuses more on the group of seniors and juniors who are beginning the next chapter of their lives. I only watched season 1 because that's the only one on Netflix, but it wasn't totally bad. I've seen worse reality tv. The season was short enough to keep me interested but not too short that I feel like I missed anything. It was more of a window to see how 'the other half' lives.
Since I didn't totally hate it I decided to continue on and watch The Hills. I am already regretting it. Thankfully the seasons are short so I can get through them pretty quickly but the drama is just ridiculous. The show follows the most boring person in existence, Lauren Conrad, and documents her and her friends' lives.
That being said, I don't dislike Lauren, but at this stage of her life everything was pretty messed up. Her BFFs were backstabbing her all over the place and all she can do is cry about it. I spend every episode shouting at the tv, "GIRL YOU GOTTA CUT THE DEAD WEIGHT AND MOVE ON! THESE PEOPLE ARE BRINGING YOU DOWN AND YOU'RE LETTING THEM! WAKE UP AND GET YOUR LIFE BACK ON TRACK!!!"
But then she forgives them all and buys them really expensive presents so they still like her. Example 1: her boyfriend cheated on her so they broke up. He moves to LA and they get back together. She buys him really expensive golf clubs and a few months later they break up.
Example 2: her oldest friend's birthday is coming up. Lauren buys her a diamond bracelet. Her friend hooks up with a guy Lauren really liked and went on a few dates with. WTF?
I can't believe this girl is just sitting back and taking this crap. She needs to cut herself off from these people and move on to better ones. But at least one good thing came out of it: a bestselling book series.
Props girl for getting these stupid people out of your life and making money off of their drama. That's the way to do it!
Since I'm still reviewing the show(s)...2 stars, this is for when you are bed-ridden or feel like killing some brain cells.
