Done right, this subject has it all! Perhaps itРІР‚в„ўs that the homes of РІР‚СљMillion Dollar Beach HouseРІР‚Сњ are quite so blown-out, so massively more than any person could want, that they foreclose any personality the show could develop on its own. Real estate is inherently interesting - combining as it does the human need for shelter with matters of aesthetics, wealth, and personal vanity. ThereРІР‚в„ўs really no excuse for this show to be as flat as it is. The fights are produced with an unsuited РІР‚СљHillsРІР‚Сњian pop and verve, underscoring that what weРІР‚в„ўre actually watching is a grinding battle for turf that never really ends.

This, too, might have been compelling social anthropology, but for the fact that this series isnРІР‚в„ўt aiming for documentary realism. What results is a series in which real-estate agents disagree over little more than matters of the real estate market - who has the rights to what listing, who was rude to whose potential client. The cast here, too, is something short of what makes reality sing: These folks seem to have gotten the memo that conflict is king but not the brief on what to disagree about. That all the Hamptons may indeed just be a neighborhood of shoreline-devouring megamansions may indeed be true, but it makes for a show that, even over a scant six half-hour episodes, tends to run together. But for a community that, like Los Angeles, is segmented into various geographical and social subcultures, РІР‚СљMillion Dollar Beach HouseРІР‚Сњ doesnРІР‚в„ўt have a sharp enough eye for division. Call it, perhaps, РІР‚СљSelling Sag Harbor.РІР‚Сњ We, here, learn a fair bit about what makes a home in the Hamptons a hot commodity - what the brokers of the Nest Seekers realty office call РІР‚Сљamenities,РІР‚Сњ mainly. Netflix goes for a similar trick with РІР‚Сљ Million Dollar Beach House,РІР‚Сњ a new unscripted program that borrows elements of the РІР‚СљSelling SunsetРІР‚Сњ playbook but moves the action from Los Angeles to Long Island.

That the agents of РІР‚СљSelling Sunset,РІР‚Сњ for all their personal fecklessness, are so much more adept in this universe than we might ever be adds a level of juicy irony.

Atop a show with the pulp content of РІР‚СљVanderpump RulesРІР‚Сњ or РІР‚СљThe HillsРІР‚Сњ lies information about the real estate market, a world so opaque to at least some viewers that decoding it becomes some small part of the action of the show.

The cleverness of РІР‚СљSelling Sunset,РІР‚Сњ the zeitgeist-hit Netflix reality series that might technically be termed a real-estate show, is in its application of the barest amount of genuinely informative content to a formula that resists any sort of higher purpose.
