Ah, Singapore Social. Where does one even begin? When Netflix dropped the trailer for a reality show revolving around the country’s D-tier celebrities socialites (or socialite-adjacent), the backlash it garnered crushed all hope that it would be any good.
And I completely see why it got as much disapproval as it did — Netflix marketed it as a look into the challenges that “young Singaporeans” face. Which technically ain’t wrong, but when the “young Singaporeans” in subject are well-off, well-connected and are sitting comfortably in the higher rungs of the social ladder, it’s probably hard to feel anything close to sympathy for their apparently-not-scripted predicaments. I don’t know, maybe it’s because my parents can’t afford to fly me over to New York just to shop around for schools to study in.
