Here’s what the (bad) reviews are saying about Alec Baldwin’s family reality series
The Baldwins debuted on February 23 on TLC, offering an “intimate, behind-the-scenes look into the lives of Alec and Hilaria Baldwin and their seven children, with the challenges and humor that come while raising a large family in the public eye.” According to reviews the reality show has received thus far, if you haven’t gotten the chance to check it out, you’ve done yourself a favor. “What hideous people! Now I really have no sympathy for has-been Alec Baldwin,” runs the headline of its coverage in the Daily Mail. “This fly-on-the-wall series about the actor’s family in the lead-up to the Rust trial feels in extremely poor taste. It’s entirely unnecessary television,” declares a subtitle in The Guardian. The Telegraph (since these are all British publications, it might be worth noting that the series is available on Discovery+ in the UK) gave the show its lowest rating, a single star. “Alec Baldwin was once a rival of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt for the title of Hollywood’s pre-eminent heartthrob,” begins the article, before pegging his new project as a humiliation.
