Selling the OC
Where to watch: Netflix
The spin-off of the megahit Selling Sunset zeroes in on the Oppenheim Group of Newport Beach office. This time, viewers are introduced to a fresh cast of characters — this office includes male realtors, a rarity not seen in the Los Angeles office. With the same mixture of dishing drama and gorgeous properties that led to much of the original’s success, this office offers a look into the high-end real estate market in Southern California’s hot-bed coastal market. As new agents attempt to handle the cut-throat office and alliances are formed, the show mixing interpersonal dynamics and unbelievable luxury homes is as compelling as ever.
Thanks to the compelling on-screen drama between the agents, as well as the stunning properties we’re able to enjoy vicariously through the screen, the Selling Sunset spin-off set in Newport Beach proves to offer the perfect background watching as you cook or fold laundry, bake muffins, or anything in between. With a story that is interesting but doesn’t demand every ounce of your attention along with visuals that look as good as a magazine, the show is able to perfectly capture the coastal lifestyle and remain engaging even if you’re just merely paying attention in the periphery. Whether you’re watching or actively viewing as you stalk Zillow for the prices of these multi-million dollar homes, you will never feel guilty about watching something as effortlessly beautiful as this show.
