. Those are also very real and important issues as well, but something feels different about the way Wang and the NYC cast reveal themselves, to both each other and the audience. Part of it may be chalked up to the very visceral and not at all scientific feeling that the people we’re watching arecare about one another — at least in the context of a semi-scripted reality TV show.
When Leung shares with her friends that she’s feeling lonely and isolated, they respond with compassion — a warm hug from Abbie and then a trip to the Bahamas with her friend group. Yes, we can’t all afford to take our besties to a tropical locale at the drop of a hat, but the intention — of caring for your friend and wanting them to feel better — is the same.
And part of the transparency might also be chalked up to the locale. As Wang notes, in New York “people aren’t as fluffy” as in LA. “I just think that in general, people in New York are a little bit more genuine and even maybe they seem like they have a harder exterior here, but they’ll be more open and honest about things,” Wang says. “In LA, there's just so much placed on image that I think maybe people are scared to reveal what's really going on. But here, especially between friends, people are way more open and honest; and I do think that the cast, everyone really opened up and were vulnerable.
Which not only makes for engaging TV, but also is just better overall for those we’re watching. “In the beginning, [the cast], a lot of them were scared to do this, and I encourage everyone to just tell your authentic story and to not overthink it. The best thing to be is honest.” Netflix Bling Empire New York Spinoff Is Honest, Real
