What did the audiences do to be blessed with two reality TV shows in a single week? A day after watching Snowflake Mountain we get the Spanish reality series First Class which is honestly something to behold.
An absolute chaotic 6 episodes will make you wonder whether this is all that you deserve in life. And I say this because the host of people we see on the series are just so bland that it’s difficult to actually be excited to get such a deep look into their vapid lives.
Self-professed party people who love to throw money around for anything and everything give us mango people a look into their glamorous lives as they wear extravagant clothes and kiss each other on the cheeks. You watch them interacting and making big deals about the weirdest things and feel almost empty inside – it looks exhausting.
The bigger the better – that seems to be the theme in this Barcelona party that apparently never ends. It’s a life that is not achievable, for the most part, to those who work everyday jobs and live everyday lives. However, how many of us would actually want to live a life like this? That’s a question that really interests me.

So, if we’re not looking forward to such a life, why spend 6 episodes watching some insufferable people being ‘cool’ and saying the weirdest and most empty things? I guess if you’re bored and need something new to watch this week, First Class is a good idea. If nothing else, then you’d be left shocked at the insanity on the screen.
We also get an in-depth look into the lives of the socialites in First Class; so close, in fact, that we learn about where all of them have had plastic surgery and how one of their fake boobs turned upside down because of doing yoga. I mean, it’s so weird that it’s entertaining to hear people share this on Netflix but it also makes me feel like my soul is leaving my body so really, it’s a confusing time to be alive.
There’s also some drama while our celebrities plan one lavish party after another but they fight about the most pointless things with such passion that it’s almost shocking that Netflix wants us to take them seriously. I would’ve understood if it was ironic, but these moments don’t seem like they are which is even more confusing!
Summing up: First Class
First Class almost feels like a cruel joke by Netflix. A remake of Bling Empire, the show is so over-the-top that it’s entertaining but too vapid to be taken seriously. It’s a guilty pleasure that you’ll hate so much that you’ll love it, especially because the conversations that these people get themselves into are nothing but empty words spoken by rich people.
First Class is streaming on Netflix.

I thought I was stage only one that tought this was a joke. I legit kept asking is this a joke on rich people of Spain? These can’t be real people? Paris Hilton as checked out as she was in her own show, she was a lot more fun to watch. I hope Netflix not to renew this show and these idiots.
No, you were not the only one. I was laughing so much and thought it was a parody, util I red about it. How utterly embarrassing that it is actually ‘real’.
honestly… you simply sound really bitter with whatever you personally have going on. While it was a bit superficial it definitely showed work ethic for the things they personally cared about. Everyone creates their own reality but closing yourself off to only subject yourself to the possibility of a 9-5 while critiquing those who go after their passions shows a lot. what are your passions…? do you actively try to go after them or just stay content with what you’re given
While I commend anyone that lives out their passion but these people ‘bring nothing to the party, There are far more interesting & noble individuals out there with more fulfilling lives than this clueless, narcissistic bunch.
Unfortunately, the celebration of vapid people with junk values seems to be what the streaming channels think we need at this time. Really?
me too, it has the feel of Arrested Development (comedy/satire).. so confused, is it meant to be satire? it’s really really bad if it isn’t. so bad that i had to comment somewhere.

seriously, horrible. Stretching to say the least. How many times are we going to see people get injected for fat disposal and lame parties where, while the fashion is pretty good, but in a dirt field? I’m also confused.
The guys can be quite funny, but the women Jesus apart from Amanda the rest of the women can be taken out from the series, totally empty
Saw all episodes hoping to discover something worth it but no. Not funny or interesting at all. It seems they have over exaggerated their own personalities. Childish and futile. Who needs to watch futile people partying?
I think Americans are used to toxic people in reality shows, and these “characters” are not toxic… therefore, the show can be labeled boring.
The doctor/dietician was my favorite: with his personality it would be hard for him to work in the USA.
