The Kardashians' new series has been branded 'aggressively boring' in scathing reviews from US TV critics.
The highly-anticipated show has been heavily promoted by sisters Kourtney, Kim, and Khloe Kardashian, along with momager Kris Jenner, and younger siblings Kendall and Kylie Jenner, but it failed to make a lasting impression on viewers.
The Hulu reality show, simply titled The Kardashians, is set to be released on 14 April, and fans are clamouring to see the latest instalments in the lives of the stars after being absent from TV screens since June last year.
The KarJenners announced in 2020 that they were ending their iconic reality series Keeping Up with the Kardashians, after more than 20 seasons and 14 years on the air.

The famous family signed a massive new deal with Hulu, and have teased details of what will be in store for viewers when the new show premieres, but TV critics across the pond are already disappointed with their efforts.
In a scathing take, Daniel D’Addario from Variety said that the show is being “held back” because it’s “obsessed with the past”.
He said the new show has “little” new information or gossip about the KarJenners, and complained that Kim’s appearance in the new show is “muted”.

The outlet’s chief TV critic suggested that the billionaire beauty and fashion mogul could be “outgrowing” the reality TV genre, and said he could sense “panic” from the show as they tried to build drama.
Lovia Gyarkye from The Hollywood Reporter had a similarly scathing take on the first two episodes of the new reality show, as she said it was a “disappointment”, with a lack of “shock value”.

Labelling it “aggressively” boring, she said the show felt like an “experiment in marketing, selling viewers an unattainable aesthetic and lifestyle,”, and complained the family constantly displayed their “dizzying amounts of wealth.”
The family members have been ramping up the publicity surrounding their new show ahead of the premiere, with Kim and Kourtney doing the rounds on US TV to entice fans to tune in and watch their revamped reality series.
