Review of Lakefront Empire

You can't blame the realtors. They are in the moment, eating up any line they are given to them and the clients are just as misdirected. Good folk. Bad television. What stands out is the producing. Someone out there in numb Chuck land knew, instinctively no doubt, that reality about the upper Midwest would be as boring as their own self images, so they decided to spice it up. What we are left with is one sad and predictable episode after another. Too bad they cannot go back and reshoot the same episodes, keep the cast and clients, and simply say-be yourselves. That would have been better than the hot mess you'd watch to the end, if you just would watch, which you won't, because it's just poor television. Season #2 is rolled up here in season 1; and it's in the pot stinking to high heaven.
