He gets on well with Lucia, who is described as a “classy thug” early on. There’s Alex Agullo, who works in PR and communications. It’s a rather chaotic affair, with the camera work flitting haphazardly between different scenes – especially early on. Essentially these guys all live their best lives in a “non-stop party” as they go about their jobs, setting up parties and hang out.
#FIRST CLASS TROUBLE GENRES SERIES#
So what is First Class actually about? Well, the series is set deep in the heart of Barcelona, where we’re introduced to all our main characters in the first episode. Some of these characters are flamboyantly thrown in to cause as much trouble as possible (looking at you, Archie!) while others are quite bland and forgettable. Now, it’s worth noting that First Class has been billed as a “docu-soap” so it’s fair to say you should take what you see here with a pinch of salt. With Netflix reportedly spending £1 million to bring in the England football team wags for their own show later this year (why? Netflix, use that money to fund more animation like Arcane, c’mon now!) there seems to be no end to this factory line of “reality” TV.
Sometimes that can be quite interesting but any interest is quickly squashed with tired, formulaic, soapy shenanigans that’s common fodder for this genre by now. Somewhere along the way though, this translated across to finding rich socialites, obnoxious, larger-than-life personalities that boast unobtainable lavish lifestyles which most of us will never experience. Whether it be The Kardashians, Selling Sunset, I’m A Celebrity or Big Brother, a good number of people are fascinated with seeing the day to day lives of different people – and the more dramatic the better.
There’s a reason reality TV does so well.
