Series Brief

Overview

The family you know and love is here with a brand new series, giving an all-access pass into their lives. Kris, Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, Kendall, and Kylie bring the cameras back to reveal the truth behind the headlines.

Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 58 /100

Critical reception for The Kardashians has been mixed, with reviewers generally viewing the series as a sleeker, higher-budget continuation of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Critics note that while the move to streaming brings upgraded production values, sharper cinematography, and a slightly less filtered look at the family's skin texture and personal moments, the core formula of celebrity drama and careful image management remains largely unchanged.

Favorable commentary highlights the series as a comforting piece of escapist television. Outlets praise the family's business acumen and enduring comedic beats, noting that devoted fans will find plenty of value in watching the billionaire sisters navigate life in the spotlight. Reviews from publications like The Independent and The Harvard Crimson framed it as fun, self-aware entertainment that redefines reality stars into media moguls.

Conversely, negative reviews cite narrative fatigue, describing the series as overly plotted, work-obsessed, and overly controlled by its subjects. Commentators from outlets such as Variety, NPR, and Grazia pointed out that the show often feels like a protracted branding exercise or an uncomfortably voyeuristic look into a family that may have simply outgrown the reality television format.

“provides a much-needed dose of slightly ridiculous, completely unrelatable, and genuinely fun escapist television.”

“As a series about the contemporary lives of Kim Kardashian and family, this is about as well-made and incisive as one could expect”

“The Kardashians is awkward, overly plotted, and so strangely sincere that you just might have misidentified the rampant insincerity.”

“feels like a better filmed version the show they just stopped doing”

Why fans love it

The Kardashians centers on the high-stakes dynamics of a family defined by its extreme proximity to the camera. The show operates in a space between the calculated management of a billion-dollar public image and the raw, farcical nature of constant attention. It presents a version of life in Los Angeles where the lines between professional obligation and private interaction remain permanently blurred.

Kim Kardashian and her sisters anchor a narrative that often teeters between the sincere and the self-conscious. While the show documents the standard milestones of family relationships, the presentation is colored by a persistent, intentional arrogance. Viewers are invited to parse which moments are grounded in genuine domestic friction and which are curated for maximum effect. The result is a study of how a family constructs its own reality while doubting the relevance of the surrounding headlines.
