Netflix viewers are so obsessed with a new reality show that they’ve already deemed it “the best” real estate TV series, rivaling longtime favorite Selling Sunset.
Having hit the streaming platform globally on June 28, Owning Manhattan has already captivated viewers with its cracking properties and perfect balance of drama and business.
“I hate to say it, but Selling Sunset has competition on the east coast,” declared one X fan.
‘This show is easily one of the best real estate shows on TV omg!’ added another. ‘I’m ready for a season 2 ASAP!’
The new eight-part series follows real estate mogul Ryan Serhant’s eponymous firm and his army of elite agents as they face intense competition to secure the most exclusive luxury properties in New York City.
Netflix viewers are completely hooked on the new reality show, Owning Manhattan, which follows real estate mogul Ryan Serhant’s eponymous company and his army of elite agents.
Audiences have already deemed the real estate series better than Selling Sunset, which follows the Oppenheim Group in Los Angeles.
The explosive first season features some of the city’s most coveted properties, including a $250 million penthouse in Central Park Tower.
And of course, there’s plenty of drama in Serhant’s office, too, which is neatly sandwiched between the impressive listings.
The drama includes the shocking firing of controversial agent Jonathan Nørmølle in the show’s final episode, and Ryan is forced to take desperate measures to reprimand his bad behavior.
“I have a one-strike policy for toxicity and negativity,” Ryan previously told DailyMail.com. “There are no bad apples.”
‘What you see me do on the show is that while that term is easy to say, it’s hard to put into practice.
“Sometimes you’ll see some bad behavior, and my gut tells me it’s a one-time policy, you can’t work here anymore.”
He continued: ‘As CEO, I’ve had to really focus on the two B’s in managing people, which are business and behaviour.
“I’m working on creating something very, very big. This is different than other shows that follow people who only focus on themselves.”
The new eight-part real estate series, directed by Ryan Serhant (pictured), launched on Netflix on June 28.
Among the cast is controversial agent Jonathan Nørmølle, who becomes embroiled in an office scandal that ultimately leads to his dismissal.
Viewers are already obsessed with the series, with some calling it the “top” new real estate show and declaring it to be more entertaining than Selling Sunset, which follows agents at the Oppenheim Group in Los Angeles.
“Serhant is really killing it with this show. Selling Sunset has competition on the east coast!” said one.
Another posted: ‘Serhant may have given us a much better sales sunset with #OwningManhattan because I’m ENTERTAINED!’
“As a fan of Selling Sunset/The OC and Buying London, I’m so excited to have another real estate show worth watching on my list,” said a third.
A fourth wrote: “After I finish the season I’m going to throw it away, this is the top one.” It has just the right amount of drama and business.”
Others praised the diversity on screen, with one viewer writing: “#OwningManhattan is the best real estate show on TV. It has a diverse and attractive cast, lots of intelligence and is a huge hit in real estate. Please Netflix, a second season, these are winners.
Another echoed the sentiment, adding: ‘This show is a winner. And the best thing about Ryan’s agency is that you notice the diversity of his team right away. Other real estate reality shows lack POC.
Netflix subscribers have been raving about Owning Manhattan on social media
While Netflix has yet to announce whether Owning Manhattan will return for season two, Ryan has shown interest in filming in the fall.
Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, she said: “If we’re going to do a second season, I’d really like to make sure we film in the fall when people are buying and selling a lot of real estate.”
‘Last year we got a bit stuck because we were filming all summer.
‘And summer in New York… I really don’t like the humidity and it gets very sticky.
“So if you ever watch an episode and think, man, Ryan is so bright, it’s because it was 96,000 degrees outside.”
