These Mexico City socialites may lead opulent lives, but a peek behind the curtain reveals a tangled web of intrigue, envy and personal struggles.
At first I was like, “Does the world need another reality show focused on the lives of the rich?” But unfortunate though it is, a Kardashians parallel set in Mexico could go a long way to humanize the country to US Americans under Trump. And it’s super entertaining.
It’s also taught me some new Spanish, such as the Mexican slang “güey”, which I’m hearing a lot now in overheard conversations around here. The show features multiple bilinguals, who’ll just switch languages mid-sentence?? As a Japanese and Spanish learner that ability is #goals.
