Swedish Housewives in New York – what a sleeping pill
I am totally spoiled and obsessed by the American housewives of DC, OC, NY and Atlanta. The dynamics between the wives, their vulgar fabulousness and ability to create drama out of thin air combined with a drive to shamelessly monetize their fame is really a vitamin pill to watch. Hilarious is also those of them who claim to have class, wow, class in America is certainly not the same as in Europe, but American classy certainly is more entertaining than the European, muted, understated way of showing class.
TV 3 had a huge success with first season of Swedish Housewives of Hollywood, with the obnoxious and fake Anna Anka who certainly is not very Swedish in her tacky, wacky way. Maria Montezami, a typical Swedish housewife from the “whining belt” in Sweden, known for a dialect that sounds very – whining and a little bit stupid, is as loved by the Swedes as Anna Anka is hated.
This season when three new Swedish Hollywood
wives where introduced I lost interest in the series, to boring. And
TV 3 just doesn’t get it, no one wants to see stiff, Swedish women show
off their houses, cars, dogs and how they go shopping in ordinary boutiques
or have boring dinner parties at home. We want to see interaction
and drama in the dynamics between the wives, the back stabbing, the rivalry,
the screaming, the hair pulling, the cat fights, that’s what we like to
see from the rich and fake fabs that volunteer to such shows. The Swedish
wives are so careful to show off a façade that they think will impress
their sisters back in Sweden that they become pathetic and boring.
