1. Shahs of Sunset

---

---

Feel like watching an explosive show about wealthy Iranian-Americans leaving in Los Angeles? You’re in the right place. Shahs of Sunset follows a group of six Persian-American friends as they juggle their demanding social and professional lives, while also struggling to appease their families. As a result, they face a lot of pressure to marry within the community and settle down.

The show wins bonus points for breaking down some stereotypes about the Persian community, while also offering all the reality TV drama you can handle. These people live in a world where image is everything, so it can be difficult to enjoy their active social engagements while also coping with their parents’ constant disappointment. Moreover, it’s inspiring to see how financially successful these families have become despite their difficult beginnings in the US.

This addictive series focuses on a group of yachties whose motto is to ‘work hard, party harder.’ They work aboard luxurious yachts and get a chance to travel the world in style, while also catering to different passengers, which range from ridiculously rich folks to posh friends looking to have a good time.

The whole thing has a very Downton Abbey feel to it, as viewers get to see both what’s going on in the yachties life, as well as observe their demanding clients. If you’re into watching a bunch of attractive people have the time of their lives, Below Deck should be right up your alley.

3. Keeping Up with the Kardashians

---

---

People like to make fun of the Kardashians for being famous for basically doing nothing. Instead, we should be giving them credit just for that.

The family knows how to take advantage of social media and trends to get ahead of the curve and their reality show is no exception. Their brand is strong and their series ridiculously successful. Love them or hate them, you have to admit they’re doing something right.

Moreover, KUWTK wins bonus point for showcasing the complex relationships between the various family members. Kim, Kourtney, Khloé, Kendall and Kylie may frequently be at odds, but they always support each other in the end. And that’s what family is all about.

Keeping Up with the Kardashians debuted back in 2007 and is currently one of the longest-running reality series ever. Catch up with 14 seasons' worth of drama on hayu.

4. Bad Girls Club

---

---

Bad Girls Club is one of those elusive reality shows that kept its appeal as time went on. That’s mainly because producers understand what viewers want: drama, fights and partying.

What happens when several self-styled “bad girls” cohabitate? Pure chaos. This addictive series follows a group of rebellious girls as they spend several months living in the same house, in an experiment intended to tone down their behavior.

Participants usually have different backgrounds and personalities, which often leads to altercations and physical confrontations, to viewers’ delight. If you’re a fan of wild series where rowdy women have no filter and get in each other’s face a lot, you’ll have a blast. The show ended after 17 turned-up seasons, all available on hayu.

---

Follow Lisa Vanderpump as she opens the doors of her sexy restaurant, SUR. Vanderpump, of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fame, balances her motherly instinct with her shrewd business sense to maintain control over the restaurant's wild group of employees.

Add in the fact that SUR stands for Sexy Unique Restaurant and you can get a taste of what you’ll be getting yourself into. Hint: drama is the word of the day, since SUR employees often have the tendency to date – and break up with – their co-workers.

Romance, scandals, and rumours will keep you on the edge of your seat. The show premiered as a RHBH spin-off back in 2013. Six seasons are available to binge.

7. Jersey Shore

---

---

Do you miss following the vapid lives of several New Jersey 20-somethings? You’re not the only one. In fact, the show is getting a highly-anticipated revival.

Mike “The Situation,” Pauly D, JWoww, Ronnie, Vinny, Deena, and Snooki will reunite this year in MTV's Jersey Shore: Family Vacation. Hence, now is the perfect time to revisit one of the most popular reality hits to come out in the early 2010s.

The original show followed a group of housemates spending their summer at the Jersey Shore, and later expanded to include various locations. Although the series received a lot of controversy and criticism, it succeeded because it managed to create its own world, complete with specialised characters – "guidos" and "guidettes". It also thrived on romance and conflict, two ingredients that – when done right – will make any reality enthusiast come back for more.

Six seasons are available on hayu.

9. The Real Housewives Franchise

---

---

While these shows have become popular because of the crazy fighting they promote, there’s another reason why fans like to tune in. They offer a fascinating look into a group of privileged women, closely following their interactions as they fight and make up. In the end, it’s all about friendship and forgiveness; and the fact that they just happen to lead glamorous lives doesn’t hurt one bit.

Watching a Real Housewives show is like reading the tabloids and enjoying all the juicy gossip that comes with that. Plus, escaping into that vapid world is generally more fun than dealing with day-to-day stuff like paying the bills or doing laundry.

Several installments of the franchise are available on hayu, including The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and the one that started it all, The Real Housewives of Orange County. Just pick your favourite and get bingeing.

The original instalment of the Love & Hip Hop reality franchise chronicles the everyday lives of women working in the male-dominated world of hip-hop.

13. The Hills

---

---

Without The Hills there would be no Geordie Shore or Made in Chelsea. The show debuted back in 2006 as a spin-off of Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County and chronicled the lives of young women living in LA. It was such a success that the protagonists went on to become household names – Lauren Conrad, Heidi Montag, Audrina Patridge and Whitney Port.

The Hills has the look of an aspirational drama, while also claiming to provide a glimpse into the real lives of its protagonists. There was no acknowledgement of cameras and no breaking of the fourth wall, which prompted a lot of criticism of the show for being more scripted than real. Whatever the case, it’s as iconic now as it was when it first launched.
All six seasons are on hayu.
