Ok I LOVED this premiere and cast. I wasn't sure if I would, but instantly thought it was great. Such a strong premiere.

Martha also gives me Grey Gardens vibes, and that nasty bird in her house? OMG.

Kimi reminds me of Parker Posey's character on White Lotus - so eccentric.

I went from feeling bad for Dara to instantly hating her. But what a wild move to just quit the show mid-dinner. I felt so bad for her friend (Myka?).

The guy is a good fit.

The pregnant lady and her husband seem odd, but they clearly go well together. Not sure if I like them or not yet.

Can't wait to see more! I can't believe they got some of these people - like Emma! And the fact that Dara's ex-husband is now Princess Beatrice's husband, so wild.

Same. And I heard the REAL tea was on the following WWHL, too. But what little I saw...MESS.

I tuned in just to say I gave it a shot but was surprised at how much I enjoyed it! I had a lot of negative thoughts due to how Bravo handled the show and Real Housewives of London, but I'm happy to say both shows are great and completely different. I'd also argue this ensemble has more chemistry than the original Ladies of London which never quite got it right.

I'll start with Misse, who I already knew from Real Housewives of Cheshire. She was kinda boring there but she fits with these women much better. She reminds me of a Crystal Minkoff in that she kinda drowned on housewives but grew over time and is now able to shine on a show that is a better fit. Mark and Martha were other highlights. I didn't know if a man could work but he made perfect sense within the cast. Martha is giving me Grey Gardens and I love every second of it.

The only people I'm not 100% sold on yet are the Americans but I don't think anybody seems like a dud. I hope this show ends up being successful so it sticks around!

Great to hear.

Also good to hear. I saw a bit of it and was already intrigued, but a 'school' night for me. Either before bed or tomorrow.

Loved it.

Way better cast than the original LoL.

The Dara stuff was so unflattering given she exposed herself on camera within the same episode that she denied doing so.

Mark-Francis was totally himself. A total one-off.

Thank you for reminding me that I still need to watch.

And great to hear your opinion on it.

I saw it and enjoyed it. At first I wasnt feeling that they dropped two episodes but seeing the story of what went down, it made sense. I still dont know all the character names but that will come eventually. I do like the production and how they edit things to explain things to us such as currency conversion, what terms mean, etc... Nice touch

First off I didnt realize that this was going to be season 4 of the original series. I thought New Reign was a new franchise and this was season 1. I thought it was an all UK cast but we have Americans like before. I like that they are better integrated and the theme isnt US vs UK

Emma is my fave. MONEY! She got it. Beautiful and I like her attitude. Whats with all the Megan Markle shade though? You can tell these Brits dont like her

Misse. Her name is pronounced Miss-EE here but I swear on RHOCh, it was Miss-Say. She's still pretty

Lottie...Im glad she addressed people assuming her husband is gay bc not gonna lie, I thought so as well. I definitely think he's fluid and swings both ways

Im not sold on Mark being here. I liked him enough but Im so used to having this format being all woen that a single man throws things off. I just hope we dont get into a screaming match between he and one of the women bc that wont be a good look for him at all but this environment encourages this.

These heffas are MESSY! I was not expecting them to come so hot this early on. Gossipping, rumors and doing it so casually. Im just not used to that. Even on RH, i feel like they are more subtle...LOL

Dara quitting...wow....lol. Im shocked they broke the fourth wall and kept that in. Its not normal for women to film and then quit early on but usually they get cut from the final edit or glossed over. Nah, she here and they kept it all in. Its a shame we lost her bc she was delusional enough to be a breakout character. She'd have been great tv

Four episodes in and this franchise is firing on all cylinders. My favourite show on Bravo.

I'm only 3 episodes in but I'm hooked. Dara Huang leaving was unexpected, as she was already shaping up to be a passive-aggressive villain who talks behind her BFF's back. But I'm hopeful the rest of the cast can keep the momentum up.

Mark-Francis is always enjoyable to me. His excoriation of Dara at the end of ep. 2 as someone who didn't choose to leave, but was cut by the group, was breath-taking.

I don't know how the ratings are, it is a little less marketing-friendly than RHOLondon, but I think it does show the London high-society scene even more intimately than RHOL. Someone like Martha Sitwell, for example, once an aristocrat, now impoverished but still trying to hold on to her position in life. Martha and Kimi both dress like 1940s Mitford sisters, and I imagine harking back to that era of iconic socialites is entirely the point. Kimi reminds me of a late-60s Babe Paley.

Missé is doing the work as the supposed truth-teller of the group, ready to lay things out on the table. She understands this game, and she's almost too good at it, i.e.: it might be a bit pre-planned.

The Margo & Martha of it all is shaping up to be an intriguing slow-burn which I suspect will explode very soon. Something Ladies of London understands is the interplay of female friendships in these circles. The power plays, dominance/subservience on the one hand, the deep confidences on the other. These friends have seen each other at their best, and their worst.

While Real Housewives seem to be on a mini-hiatus (unless you are watching BH, in which case: my condolences), this is a pretty compelling show. I'm lowkey addicted.

I thought the 4th episode was a little slower/filler until the end, but I'm still really enjoying it. Margo is my least favorite - she just has a mean spirit. I feel bad for Martha and hope she succeeds.

Yep. I see the mean spirit now. I thought she and Martha had a great scene, as Margo seemed to be looking out for her friend who is a fragile bird. But seeing how she stirred up Missé with Kimi, and had to insert herself in their convo, I thought 'Oh, ok. She's playing people against the other.' And she thought she could play Kimi because Kimi always seems half-drunk but is, in fact, incredibly sharp and nobody's fool.

It made me wonder whether Margo enjoys having Martha be the perpetual [!@#$%^&*]-up and she (Margo) be the successful, together one. Something to watch slowly unfold.

Emma is gorgeous and aristocratic and everybody's darling, but she is also steel dressed in a velvet glove. That gossip about her husband and Kimi was TEA.

I was not sure whether Myka will make it past this season. The way Dara treated her was like a doormat. She dressed up in that white hat and gold jewellery just to go to a coffee shop to demand answers -- and Dara basically gave her none. Just deflected her questions until Myka had nothing to demand of her. That kind of manipulative 'friend' is toxic AF.

Ladies of London mid-season (already?) trailer. Looks epic.

You beat me to the tweet. hahahaha.

But I need to get around to watching it this week. I'm so behind.

ETA: re: Already? I know right? I can't believe it is already on Episode 5(?). So is it a 10-episode season?

Ok so last night's episode and then the mid-season trailer just reaffirmed by feelings for Margo. She's not a nice person.

This truly is the best show on Bravo. I absolutely love it and the cast is fantastic. Myka is the only one Im not feeling bc she is kinda boring and just there. Everyone else is a character though and adds to the dynamic.

My favorite is Kimi bc she's a bitch and owns it

LOL at them dragging Margo's fashions. Imagine if Gizelle was on this cast

Yay!!! You love it so much...we get pictures. You haven't done that in the Housewives thread in a good minute. Love it.
