THE NETFLIX docusoap Selling Sunset is the latest corner of L.A. gloss—in this case, conspicuous real estate consumption and its enablers (think: Million Dollar Listing)—to be repurposed as reality-TV porn. Set around the mostly female sales force of L.A.’s Oppenheim Group (led by twins Jason and Brett Oppenheim), Selling Sunset only occasionally focuses on moving zillion-dollar properties with epic views; instead, series creator Adam DiVello (Laguna Beach, The Hills) chronicles a parade of parties, mean girls, boy toys, weddings, divorce, and heartbreak. The season five ensemble includes mainstays Mary Fitzgerald, Heather Rae El Moussa, Emma Hernan, Chrishell Stause (divorced and now dating one of the twins), and a newcomer, British-Nigerian realtor Chelsea Lazkani. —S.A.
