Synopsis

The City is an American reality television series that originally aired on MTV from December 29, 2008 until July 13, 2010. Developed as the spin-off of The Hills, the series aired two seasons and focused on the personal and professional lives of several young women residing in New York City, New York. Its premise was conceived by Adam DiVello, while Liz Gateley served as the executive producer. The series originally focused on Whitney Port, who appeared in its predecessor, as she began employment with Diane von Fürstenberg. It additionally placed emphasis on her workplace rival Olivia Palermo, Port's boyfriend Jay Lyon, his roommate Adam Senn, and her friend Erin Lucas. The latter three were replaced by Port's roommate Roxy Olin and Palermo's enemy Erin Kaplan for the second half of the first season. The City received generally mixed reviews from critics, and proved less successful than The Hills. Like its predecessor, the series was often criticized for tending towards a narrative format more commonly seen in scripted genres including soap operas, and appearing to fabricate much of its storyline. The show has distributed all seasons to DVD.

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
TheOliveBranch OK, whatever guys, call me gay all you want, this show is hilariously awesome. The staged fight in episode 2 between Jay and that model douche? The bitchy hot rich girl? And of course, hot Whitney? This show tickles me rotten whenever I watch it.I live in Manhattan, I'm 25, and I'm a straight, non metrosexual guy (I swear). I will admit: I have never actually seen a world like this in the few years I've lived here, but that doesn't matter! This show and the other ones like it (Laguna, the Hills) never cease to amaze me. I know it's edited in a way that serves the purposes of the producers, yea yea yea, but isn't that what makes it more awesome? Hopefully they stage more fights between Jay and the jealous models who want Whitney.Obviously there will be girls between the ages of 10-24 who will really love this show. That goes without saying. And yea, I feel a little awkward when Tampax commercials come on during the breaks. But hey, chalk this one up on my list of guilty pleasures. Bring on the hilarity, I'm gonna sit on my couch and eat potato chips on Saturday afternoon and enjoy the next marathon of this show on MTV.EDIT: OK, the 1st season is officially over and I heard Jay and Whit broke up? Say it ain't so, Us Weekly! Anyway, I've been to a few of these bars on the show and they are definitely a whole lot grimier and dirty than the show makes them out to be. Brass Monkey in particular.
