The Real Housewives franchise is set to launch in London, featuring glamorous middle-aged women. Critics, such as Gloria Steinem, argue the show portrays women negatively as rich and confrontational. In contrast, others highlight the representation of a less visible demographic and the depth of themes occasionally explored. The author, unfamiliar with the series, finds it captivating despite its chaotic nature, suggesting it offers a more entertaining view of middle-aged womanhood compared to traditional representations like Davina McCall's healthier image.
Real Housewives seems to be boozed-up shouting, presenting an entertaining alternative vision of being a middle-aged woman to Davina McCall's rock-hard abs.
Some commentators have pointed to the visibility the franchise offers a relatively underexposed demographic amid the froth of drama.
