Buying London, the UK version of Selling Sunset, is described as 'crass' and 'vulgar' by critics.

Netflix's reality series Selling Sunset has inspired a British version - but so far, most critics are not buying.

While Selling Sunset follows the Oppenheim group in Los Angeles, Buying London follows the agency DDRE Global. "I saw Selling Sunset as quaffable junk, the sort of telly that passes the time pleasantly. It is hard to feel the same about Buying London, because it is boring and infuriating, and neither are the garnishes I like on my trash."

Buying London "consists of phoney conversations, confected drama and lip filler", she said, describing the series as "superficially fun, but ultimately soulless and artificial". "But people will watch it, because this is a penthouse peep show, and noses will be pressed fully to the window.""The audience is here for the gossip! The intrigue! The in-fighting! The drama!" she noted.
