When looking at the landscape of reality television, one thing has been missing: MILFs. But no longer, thanks to TLC and their new show “MILF Manor.” MILFS, or “Moms I’d Like to Fuck” for the shocking few that are not in the know, rule this new show that has a shocking twist: eight MILF head to Mexico in search of love with — get this — their eight sons. That’s right, “MILF Manor” explores the untapped market of familial dating, and although the MILFS do not date their own sons, the show is equally as salacious — thankfully, minus the incest.
After watching the entire first season of “MILF Manor,” I have a lot of thoughts. I am by no means an expert when it comes to reality television or dating shows — I haven’t even watched many shows from this genre — but I have obsessively watched “MILF Manor” and feel confident speaking about it. i heart milfs hoodie
I had high hopes that “MILF Manor” wouldn’t fall into the tired reality television tropes rooted in sexism and misogyny that so often dominate the genre. Seeing the show’s embrace of older women in their marketing, I felt hopeful, but alas, “MILF Manor” disappoints on this front. That being said, the show is a very interesting social experiment, and I enjoyed watching it solo and with friends from a standpoint of curiosity and criticality.
