Netflix has just released Season 5 of «Selling Sunset,» a reality series about a group of real estate agents in Los Angeles.
With Netflix reeling from a slew of bad headlines, stemming from its upcoming password-sharing crackdown and a feeling that the streamer has lost a step over the last year or two when it comes to quality, what’s this I see? Open the Netflix app, and there in the #1 spot on the Top 10 list of Netflix shows in the US today — Selling Sunset. A reality show about gorgeous real estate agents in Los Angeles that combines drama and luxe real estate into something Netflix calls a “docusoap.” The show rocketed to #1 on Netflix because Season 5 was just released on the streamer on Friday. That’s right. Netflix has been canceling people’s favorite shows right and left, with those often not making it past season two or three. But low-brow “docusoaps” and reality shows about cake have no trouble at all blowing up on the service.
