Wealth is omnipresent on the new Hulu reality series The D’Amelio Show, and in the lives of powerhouse influencer families generally. So why won’t they address it?
. Almost every episode features a mini plotline about how unforgiving and packed Charli and Dixie’s schedules are, and how harmful social media is on their psyches. The famous sisters have many meltdowns; they’re despondent and disconnected in their talking heads, and even the time “off” they have hanging out with their other TikTok-famous friends is mostly spent commiserating about the tolls of their panopticon-like lives.
This approach to reality TV is thoughtful and tactful; it stays aware and a step ahead of cyberbullies, whose worst threats are called out . The D’Amelios, the newest reality family picking up the trail of the Kardashians’ legacy, but in some ways in reverse order, will garner a lot of sympathy by being this vulnerable on TV. It’s hard not to feel the anxiety these young women live with on a daily basis as they have their every action and inaction scrutinized by the public.
In one hard-to-watch scene, Dixie laments about being relentlessly criticized online and says, “What’s the point of doing anything? [I’m] guilty for being alive.” And in another she says, “I’ve always been very sad; I didn’t want to be happy.”
