Reality Check
http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/television/2015/06/lifetime_s_unreal_reviewed_this_riff_on_the_bachelor_is_the_first_antihero.html
A series started earlier this summer about a tortured antihero operating in a corrupt world of immense psychic violence. Before you shout, “I have seen that one before! And before and before” let me stop you: You have not. Lifetime’s UnReal is a scripted drama set behind the scenes of a reality show closely modeled on The Bachelor—a setting that immediately suggests the show will be a bit of frivolous summer fun, a spoof, a lark, a guilty pleasure. But UnReal is darker than a locked box inside a lightproof cube sitting on the bottom of the ocean at midnight. It is an ice cream sundae laced with ipecac, delectable and poisonous all at once.
