I'm all for strong women but I don't know how some of these men tolerate their whiny spoilt bratty wives who live in absolute luxury and still have the audacity to complain. Unbelievable... or maybe it isn't and they're too stupid and self absorbed to be embarrassed 🙈

I really don't think they should be pointing fingers about fashion either ... money does not automatically mean taste and it certainly shows considering some of the shockers they walk around in.

It's a nauseating competition for supremacy where they go out of their way to hurt each other - who needs enemies with friends like that???????? Pass.

Dubai Bling wants to be the mashup between Bling Empire and Selling Sunset that no one really asked for. The cast seems to have watched every reality series there is, and come up with a way to behave. By the 2nd episode you're already tired of them. Zeina seems the only one who genuinely works, but is a back biter. Safa seems to be hiding under a cloak of 'ideal marriage' and getting stifled. Loujain is genuinely, entertainingly vile but too irritating. Lojain is warm but surprisingly hidebound in her ideas, and seemed terrified of stepping even a little bit over the line of Arab social codes. Farhana's just not memorable. Ebraheem is a mama's boy,and needs to sort that out. Fahad telling his wife she better produce a kid on an international streaming platform was not pretty. No relatable characters, no quirks, little fun. The trouble is that these people are simply not wealthy or interesting enough to be presented as people living wealthy, interesting lives.

I'm all for trashy TV. But this was just trash. I give props for effort but this was just brain dead content. Why are you making it seem like Dubai is the land of these kind of people?

Its great background noise, but not worth your brain cells. Cast should feel embarrassed, waste of creative space.

I'll admit, I watched it all, hoping to find some essence, but unfortunately, time I will never get back.

Much better shows out there, don't give this two mins of your time, it might encourage them to make more garbage.

I learned one thing though, I'm glad I'm average and not caught up in a terrible lifestyle like theirs. I guess there was a message after all.

I have never rolled my eyes in cringe at a reality show before in my life.

My family moved here in the late 1980s when I was about six years old. In the process of growing up here I witnessed the growth of Dubai in every aspect, from its construction boom and population growth to its leadership as the ultimate tourist destination in the world and home of one of the fastest growing multicultural communities in the world. I was here through elementary, secondary, and high school, then on to university and finally another 15 years of working in several industries. It is far more of a home than the country where I was born and the country whose citizenship I carry.

This is not my Dubai.

Dubai Bling is an example of everything that is wrong with the Dark Side of Dubai: the zealotry of ego, the Karen Culture, the money-out-of-your-nose opulence that's more a cause of derision than it is inspiration. There is nothing creative or ground-breaking about this show apart from the fact that it bolsters the outside world's cynical view of Dubai being everything wrong about "nouveau riche urban development." The city is no London, New York, or Paris...so it's already laughed at elsewhere with YouTube videos that show everything that's wrong with this city. Those of us who know better defend the city against those videos...

...but when a show like this comes out on an international streaming service, it does nothing but bolster the outside world's reason to hate the city and turn the volume of the laughter up to ear-shattering levels.

Everything is clearly acted out in a desperate plea for attention, every scripted word is a demonstration of how common sense is clearly thrown to the wind, every item of fashion is an outrageously obvious product placement sponsorship disguised as daily haute couture. All this does is cement outsiders' belief that this is no billion dollar elite society but a 1 cent flea circus.

On a scale of 1 to 10, this show is a -11.

What a mess of a show this is. Really pathetic. If you want to see a bunch of FAKE millionaires trying so hard to show that they have money, then this show is for you.

One of the 2 or 3 only millionaires on the show is a Gold digger who inherited her late husband that was 35 years older than her. Seriously what's the point of bringing her on the show ? Was there no better option for Netflix?

Everything on the show is scripted. From normal conversations to arguments, all scenes are scripted with terrible acting. The show doesn't even follow any storyline. It's literally made up of many random scenes and conversations, where the audience is left to wonder where is this going.

Why would Netflix produce such show is beyond me. I had some respect for Kris Fade, but I think he literally shot himself in the foot by taking part of such hideous show.

This show is everything that is wrong with our world right now. They've taken the rich and narcissistic, and given them free reign to be as shallow as they can be, while trying to break the world record for cringiest dialogue delivery. Dubai is a beautiful place with beautiful people, and deserves better than this disgraceful heap of compost. A cold shiver runs down my spine when I think about how so many people got it wrong to make this show come out. If this show gets a season 2, I will lose the little bit of faith I have left in humanity. And on top of that is Kris Fade hijacking Virgin Radio every morning so everybody can listen to his personal problems on their way to work. Somehow, through a series of unfortunate connections, this show has managed to ruin both television AND radio for us in one go. Again, Dubai is an amazing place, and Dubai Bling is disrespecting the hard work, commitment and daily toil with which the real people of Dubai do their part.

Wow, I can't imagine why there is so many bad reviews.

That's a reality tvshow and this was very entertaining. I can see that many of the negative reviews are from Arabs and maybe Emaratis in specific saying that this is so fake and they are not even Emiratis. I'm not sure where did they say that it has to be about "Emiratis" where some of the cast are locals and the others have been living their whole life in Dubai. I am an Arab and I have been to Dubai, I have seen those kind of people in Dubai, I have been around those kind of people outside of Dubai -that doesn't mean I am one of them or I am friends with them, I don't think I can afford this lifestyle-

Overall, the show is really entertaining and whoever is saying otherwise they don't get the point of reality tv shows which is all about entertainment.

I have been watching reality shows since I was young starting from Laguna beach, jersey shore, rupaul, keeping up with the kardashians, housewives...etc and Dubai bling was very entertaining to me. #SorryBoutIt.

Stupidest show Netflix ever saw in Netflix. It doesn't depict anything about Dubai. Dubai is more than what it's shown in this stupid series. It's such a shame that the director had to go with such cheap class actors. Dubai is an hub for diverse multicultural ethnicity. This show is nothing but a misleading hoax. I wonder why the Netflix made it in the first place. This show reminds me of Emily in Paris. That was too a misleading one. Comparing, we can see it atleast has some watchable contents. This has got nothing. Neither a story nor an authenticity. This show is a successful failure. Nice try.

The reality TV as a genre is the king of cringe. The Bling series, though are straight to the top of that. And the Dubai one is one show of absolute kitch to a debauchery of human litlleness.

The brands they promote through the film are commonplace and they didn't even have license for them.

The second season could get at least one brand to actually let them show their logo ...

The only real question is how much of the real Dubai is in this. My guess is that it's about 80% so.

And of Dubai, I'd really like to see a show abt the Low Town, there where Indian workers and pearl fishermen (I know they were in Basra but maybe they had them in Dubai too) drink arak.

DON NOT watch and glorify such beings!

Scripted! Fake! Boring!!!!

It's a shame that Netflix has dropped its standards so low, when there are real genuine stories in the world. Your selection committee needs a refresh.

If you want to show the life of Uber Rich people at least pick a better bunch.. this is nothing but a bunch of wannabes!

Drama for the sake of drama... without any flow or connections.. I'm surprised the country allowed to be portrayed in such poor light.. when it has such rich culture and history.

IMDB.. it's time to add a "minus" rating! So we can express ourselves better LOL!!

Was hoping to see the real life style of Emiratis. The cast are mostly Australian/UK based people. They just live in Dubai. The show is misleading and is filled with a bunch of bottom feeding spoiled ladies.

I would highly recommend watching something else, such as Housewives of Beverly Hills. They try too hard in this show to be like them, but it's not even near that.

The acting is silly and they tried too hard to look "rich" but you can tell none of them are actually successful. Overall, the show gets 2/10. Everyone is going to have their own opinion, but this was one of the most terrible shows.

Bad publicity is good publicity Well, not always as sometimes doing that could affect on how people are seeing you now. And I'm talking about popular figures in dubai that I can't respect anymore from what I have seen.

Was this an act rather than a reality show?

I don't think so only gave one because I really like kris mom and dad.

And kris u are a smart man. What happened here ?

It was a torture through out the ( reality ) show.

Pushing it ridiculously. Like even The Kardashians wouldn't wear those ( Chicken / goose / duck / and frog skin ) on the booth when they are being interviewed It was a torture seeing them playing tennis and basketball and it's clear that they don't and never did. So u really don't have to The amount of disrespect between wives and husbands is just painful To summarize everything was painful to watch.

What can I say, this show is unwatchable., You get to see all the spoiled brats under one roof. Fake millionaires wearing 10$ clothing 🤣🤣., This is not even close to be called entertaining., I personally feel these kind of shows should not be aired at all on Netflix but I understand that's not possible and it's all about money. I need to unsubscribe from Netflix soon. I have started to see the trend., Many crappy shows like this being aired and not the good ones., I think we need to make sure the public understands the useless ness of such shows so that they don't get to broadcast them., Unfortunate.,

Dubai looks fantastic and this my friend is a vicarious treasure. You are hooked into the life of multiple egos with a lot of riches. Yes what gnaws and tugs at the core of heart are fairly mundane misgivings. I thoroughly enjoyed the show and of course it gave me more than what I was expecting. The IMDb rating is too unjust. This was way too much fun with such a mismatched ensemble. I totally look forward to a season2. I finished the first season in less than 24 hours. Wish to congratulate the makers for such outstanding sets, drama, locations, wardrobes and I felt all characters added glam. Yes I know it's reality tv but hey why not?!

Vulgar Only word I can use to describe it Why Netflix insist to fail .

Every episode I think that they hit the rock bottom but apparently they still can drill deeper, no manner no class just cheap

Real Definition of cheap novel rich.

I was surprised Lojain Omran accepted to be part of such a thing ?

Rich people has manners and class why you making them look like idiots with money.

Even if they were acting how they accepted to look like this ? Shocking show

Vulgar tacky cheap fake only words I can find to describe it and hope they stop making dubai look like this Please Netflix stop these kind of shows.

I really detest shows like these because it makes the UAE look like such a silly place, filled with superficial nonsense, zero culture, or soul. The fact is, the depicted folk in this show are an overexaggeration of a few who care about nothing else but their image. You can find this in any country, and mostly among people who only come as tourists or are here part time. The reality is, most full time residents are here for the incredible life that is offered through opportunity and safety, and they do it so quite humbly. It is a culture that is rooted in history and has yet somehow managed to create an environment that is extremely open, safe and welcoming to others. The blinged out folks are a minority, who are irrelevant. The richest of the rich are the most discreet. This does not represent mainstream culture in the least bit. Dubai is flashy and beautiful, but that's just the city that's been built. The majority residents, they're just like anyone else.

Technical nonsense. The problems of the Arab peoples were over, and only this remained. It is forbidden to criticize rulers, ministers, officials and princes. Freedom of the media is forbidden, freedom of belief is forbidden, elections are forbidden, you are forbidden to express your opinion. Freedom of speech is forbidden. Art, drinking and fun are allowed. It is allowed to cut off journalists and citizens to express their opinion. The Arab peoples need freedom, the election of a ruler, and the distribution of wealth with justice. America and Europe, their art is successful because they have a foundation based on history and justice, not in the Middle East.
