Critic Reviews

Calabasas Confidential has what it takes to become Netflix’s next big reality show.

Calabasas Confidential is a repetitive and pointless reality series that offers no unique value or purpose beyond its beautiful California scenery and delicious-looking coffees.

Perhaps the cast will, given enough time to bond on and off camera, start feeling like people who voluntarily interact and form genuine relationships. Until then, there’s a forced atmosphere to every group hang and date, with an ensemble so large that famous relatives and sprawling floor plans have to substitute for a center of gravity.
