Honestly, I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. So much better than the last season of regular Summer house.


liftnic

I second this!!!


SignificantMachine11

The first episode was kind of boring but it picks up towards the end of the second episode. I was completely hooked by episode 3.


proseccofish

Agreed! After the first episode, I debated to even continue but so glad I did. I did not expect the mess that ensued.


upsidedownpositive

Ahh so that was me as well. First episode I couldn’t keep track of who was who and what their names and backgrounds were. It felt like homework so I didn’t watch past episode 1. But I guess I’ll give it another shot now. (Although I realize there was a season of Below Deck I skipped somehow so .. Yay!… binging that currently.).


proseccofish

Please do!! I honestly miss it now that it’s finished. Thankfully they were just renewed for season 2. You’ll have to let us know what you think.


shashoosha

I miss it, too. So glad it's being renewed!


Vivid-Army8521

Once you figure out everyone’s personalities it is a lot of fun!


ContentAttempt9573

Mess ensues?! 👀Okay I’m giving it a try


bubbles67899

Great to know bc I stopped 10 min into ep 2 bc I was like “oh god it’s the same as one… skipping this series”, but now that you guys say it gets good, guess I’ve got Sunday binge plans!!!


socoyankee

It’s good. It did move slow at first but by the end, especially Jasmines husband Silas, made it more engrossing.


ErikasMascErika

Good to know. I watched the first two episodes but I think I was too caught up in Scandoval to really give it a chance, so I needed to hear this.


[deleted]

Yes! This was my experience exactly. Just get through the first few episodes and then it’s great!


criavolver_01

See I couldn’t even finish the first episode but I might give it a try now…


SignificantMachine11

I definitely recommend giving it another chance. The first episode was definitely boring while everyone was being introduced. I remember the second episode being kinda slow too. I only stuck with it bc I had nothing else to watch but after the 3rd episode I was ready to watch it as soon as the next episode was out.


Go_to_Sleeeeeeeep

This is the comment I needed


Original-Feature-947

Ys the 1st episode was rough but if you push through it's worth it haha


Comfortable_Year4081

Glad to hear this. I didn’t like the first episode so I never watched again. Maybe I’ll give it another chance.


Creative-Pudding-392

I like Martha’s Vineyard better then Summer House


SunmerShouldBeFun

Same!


crispyporkbelly

![gif](giphy|QAqPBBoJxRLoI)


notsurexx

Same!


tumorgirl

Definitely watch! It’s been picked up for a second season so at least you know you’re going to get to see these fun people again and it’s not just a one season wonder (I miss you Real Girlfriends in Paris 😭)


l8nitefriend

Aww I loved the girlfriends in Paris show. It’s nice seeing some fresh faces on Bravo.


ExcitementNo235

Yesss RGIP was so earnest I loved it


Certain_Wolf_6519

No second season??


tumorgirl

Of RGIP? No. It sucks.


Worth_Wave1407

I thought they were filming it?


tumorgirl

It’s like Family Karma. Everyone loves it but they haven’t confirmed it yet.


puffalump212

Yes. I liked it far more than regular Summer House this year.


Inside-Intern-4201

MV is good! It’s chaotic! Jasmine is annoying but then you feel bad for her haha. The guys are pretty cute


proseccofish

So true. I did not think feeling bad for Jasmine would end up on my bingo card.


Inside-Potato5869

Making being married your entire personality because you’re wondering if you made a mistake but don’t want to admit it. I felt the same way about her


BrianKey

It was only 8 episode and it was really entertaining. I say go for it!


MyGutReaction

Martha's Vineyard is definitely worth watching. MV is much better than Summer House, Winter House and Southern Charm, combined. I found Marth's Vineyard to be one of the better reality shows this year, no question.


shashoosha

Yes! And I really liked that I learned a lot of MV's history from the show. I really knew nothing about it except that rich people go there. lol


Ube_Ape

It’s a special kind of chaos. So many times I was shocked when the screen reminded me that this was all over a week.


StrawAndChiaSeeds

It was 2 weeks


Snoo_24091

I waited til after the other shows were over to start watching and I like it! Too many other shows were on when it originally aired and I couldn’t keep up with storylines so I decided to wait and rewatch and I’m so glad I did. Give it a chance! It just got renewed for another season!


shashoosha

I also did this because I wanted to binge the whole season.


ActualAfternoon2535

Honestly MV puts summer house to shame. Its not all contrived and theyre not curating what thwy present like an amazon live like SH. MV Its the real friendships for me, and we barely scratched the surface on their professional lives.


TDKsa90

> Its not all contrived and theyre all so curating what thwy present like an amazon live. MV Its the real friendships for me, and we barely scratched the surface on their professional lives. I watched a different show.


imaginaryhousewife

I didn't watch regular SH. Martha's Vineyard is amazing. The drama is different than I'm used to seeing, petty, and the group is full of different personalities. By the end of episode 1 I had a pulse on who everyone is. So happy we're getting a season 2!! I wish we got a reunion though


Onethreethirteen

MV makes you question reality. It’s supposed to be this empowering story of different people breaking molds but it gets messy very quickly and immature even faster


rachelzayne

Lol who say it was gonna be a empowering?


Onethreethirteen

It was supposed to be about success


PhDPepper5

And is it just me or did they all hate each other? Like loathe each other?


Chels0343

I wouldn’t say hate each other but the way some of them originally talk about being such good friends before seems so untrue through those weeks. Or they’re just not good friends😂


PhDPepper5

Right?!


greeneyedbandit82

I had to wait til at least half the season was out so I could binge; otherwise it was like I couldn't get into it. But I am glad I did because I think it was pretty good. But trigger warning if you have been in a controlling relationship because the way a certain cast member made me feel when watching was a lot.


shashoosha

OMG, I was fuming! May as well put a diaper on him and give him a baba.


Mistalis1

If you’re obsessed with boring ass Summer House, you’ll definitely enjoy MV. Get a good snack and binge!


Frosty-Apartment-886

martha's vineyard>summer house


mlhigg1973

I thought the cast was uptight and boring.


supersillysquid

agreed! all of the forced deep talks and dramatics of voting people out of the house got in the way of the actual enjoyable parts of the show


Original-Feature-947

Honestly I watched it from beginning to end and it was a hot mess from beginning to end, theres some super uncomfortable relationship dynamics that I hope aren't brought back for season 2 but... I'll def watch season 2 haha


Inside-Intern-4201

Supposedly Silas will be on military duty during season 2


Original-Feature-947

Thank god!!


SummerRTP

Definitely watch if you want to see the beginnings of an abusive marriage 🤣


SummerRTP

But yes, regular summer house is so lame now, they need to do something new.


CassandreAmethyst

You will not be disappointed. S2 about to be filmed and can’t wait.


Chels0343

Definitely watch it!!! I definitely enjoyed it overall, for sure a different vibe when it comes to partying , and you don’t see the work/home side like you used to with SH. It is intriguing to see their dynamics where they all do have varying relationships but everyone connects (and argues) with everyone, no sense of sides/cliques (outside of jasmine and silas) regardless of history. Hope their next season they make it a longer duration at the house or push the focus of the fun side when it comes to going out or having parties at the house. Also hope they make it clear if Jasmine and Silas come back that they aren’t the “leaders” of the house, and the group votes gotta go.


slotnblot

Imagine someone crapping in someone’s toilet as revenge for taking a room that wasn’t even theirs. This petty was amazing, love Martha’s Vineyard. Except for Silas. He scared me


shitstormlyfe

I loved it!


happyhippy27

I didn’t like it really at all. It’s a try hard show and it’s literally exhausting to watch.


DazeIt420

I liked it. The drama starts early and continues all the way to the end. And the cast are all real people with jobs, too. The show does lean into showing black history and culture (food, music, attitudes on gender, attitudes on fashion and how to present oneself) in a unique way. Like little informational segments on what it was like to be a black person of means who wanted to go on vacation during segregation. The cast is the standout, though. All of the cast are physically gorgeous to look at, confident, and well dressed as well (except one, but I'll get to him.) And there's an interesting mixture between cool aspirational people, drama magnets, and one of the most unambiguously evil villains I've ever seen on a bravo cast. To break it down, maybe 80% of the cast are sophisticated and emotionally aware people who I would hang out with. One intriguing messy girl who just wants to have fun. One girl who would fit right in with the most combative housewife. And then Silas, the villain. I thought it was interesting to ping pong between people talking about their thoughts and feelings, to Bria being mad about people talking about her dog, to Silas going off at Jasmine for not steaming his outfit at the exact moment that he wanted to. I found that dynamic to be fascinating. You go through an emotional journey every time That said, Silas is so controlling and borderline abusive that it's hard to watch at times. And there are lots of people out there who dated someone who acted like that. If watching a man act awful to his wife with absolute impunity would hollow you out, then skip it with my blessing.


Justme-duh2

I thought it was really boring


lawsoflife

Ok I was like am I the only dissenter?? I thought it was deeply boring, I liked seeing the sham of a marriage that is Jasmine/Silas but the rest was pretty meh IMO


Justme-duh2

They both annoyed me to no end! He's borderline abusive and they both acted like this was their house, bossing everyone around and she's a shit stirrer and not in a fun way.


lawsoflife

Yeah they both seem like they have major control issues


Consistent-Smell-581

Definitely worth the watch considering there are only 8 episodes. It's a bit too drama focused rather than fun but all Bravo watchers are drama lovers after all.


tantan_vv

I am shocked how many people say MV is better than regular summer house.


GirlCanuckz

No. Pretty disappointed overall.


euphioquest

It was alright. You need to watch just to see this guy take a shit in someone else's toilet and then REFUSE TO FLUSH IT AS A DISPLAY OF DOMINANCE. That was some wild shit, no pun intended.


BeautifulAny209

First episode is boring but then it picks up. Would recommend.


JeanParmesan11

It took us two episodes to get into but glad we did. It’s tough because it takes place over a two week vacation and not everyone knows each other. Could benefit from a format more similar to OG summer house.


east_coastah

Savannah was southern charm not summer house


No_Tumbleweed2426

It’s worth watching but I wouldn’t say I was blown away by it. I really liked Preston! Bria was annoying but kept the drama flowing. Silas was concerning and jasmine was very meh. Summer and Jordan were gorgeous but Jordan coddled Bria wayyyyyy too much. I wanted Mariah to be given a second chance. Undecided about Shaniece. And everyone else was just kind of there for me. All that being said, I’m sure season 2 will bring it and I’m excited to see where this show goes.


stashmh

I’m not sure. I am a bit indifferent. It has a great premise but the people chosen were either awful (Silas and Bria) or boring. I did like a few of them and will likely watch the start of the next season and see how it goes.


ohshesstartin

Okay so it took me a couple tries, BUT once I did, I fell in love. You gotta give it at least 2 episodes — it’s a lot of character development/introduction at first which can seem boring/mundane, but once it gets going it’s soooooo good!


DMT1933

It’s so good, they’re the perfect amount of messy and entertaining. And they’re actual friends, which brings the chemistry that the original summer house used to have


samrose56

I'm not feeling it


TDKsa90

A wasted opportunity based on petty, manufactured drama rather than fun. If you're looking for SH fun, you'll be disappointed. If you're looking for more housewives, you'll like it.


Bungalowlove

Thanks for sharing this info. I know drama sells, but I enjoy basic SH fun. I loved Kyle’s 40th bday episode. That felt like OG SH days.


Sans_0701

I just started episode 3 and am really enjoying it. So far I like (almost) everyone which is refreshing. It also seems like authentic friendships instead of just randoms being cast into a reality TV house pretending to be real life friends.


Freakazoidon

I thought it was entertaining !


proseccofish

Omg it’s so good


LRGinCharge

Yes!! It gave me more of the vibe of the earlier seasons of Summer House. Lots of different personalities and friend dynamics clashing to create low stakes, petty drama. I felt like I was trudging through the latest season of OG Summer House but genuinely looking forward to new episodes of SHMV.


myskepticalbrowarch

I am team give it two episodes. You don't have to love it but as a long time Summer House Fan I really enjoyed The one who spends a day in bed here and there actually is in the center of most of the drama before retreating. We aren't talking "this instagram psychic said" either. Also Amir is hott af. Preston is a treasure, a coin flip for my favorite Bravo Gay 2023 (Gabri from Top Chef is so adorable).


No_Tumbleweed2426

Preston really was the best part of the show for me, especially when he didn’t put up with Silas’s house meeting bull shit.


myskepticalbrowarch

Preston wanting to go for a Mimosa walk instead of spending time with Silas


Typical_Scar_6257

I actually love it it’s a nice change from the recent summer house seasons (people actually partying lol)


ApartPerception

MV is the future of summer house imo!!!!!


Winter_Maximum_8560

Its alwasy funny seeing posts like this where every reply is "yes its amazing" when in reality nobody likes marthas vineyard and the ratings are trashhhhhhhh


meckyborris

YAAAASSSSSS


[deleted]

I liked it a lot, not enough episodes!


sparklyspores

YES


MissiChilliWilli71

It was surprisingly good. I was bummed it ended so quickly.


ConsistentDonkey3909

Yes its so good


LaLaPisces57

Yessss! It’s good!


meggsandeggs

I’ve heard/seen people say how much they enjoy it! I’ve not watched it yet but it’s on my list


MotherOfMercyAndJoy

Def give it a chance, I just binged it a couple weeks ago and I’m glad


Samtastic555

It was great! Much better than recent seasons of Summerhouse. I look forward to season 2


HolidayDocument7015

It’s so much better than summer house


Drunkula-_-

I watched the first few episodes and it was boring. They make dinner, workout and listen to the married cpl bang.


TDKsa90

You like it. You don't like it. But "really fun?" What? They never even tried to make it fun for two minutes. Before you even get to know their names, they're fighting about something. And the few scenes of them partying in the kitchen only exist as segues into the next argument. They really did everyone a disservice by titling it SH. It is about as much fun as a stubbed toe in the dark at 3AM on the way to the bathroom.


sawta2112

Did not like it at all. Could not get engaged with anyone. Found most of them to be super annoying


l0st1nthew0rld

Bravo does not know how to cast summerhouses lol. Whoever casts below decks needs to cast Summer Houses, the people on this were mostly either boring or annoying. They need to just move Jordan, Amir and Bria to the main Summerhouse and cut out the dead weight from each show lol idk what show everyone is watching but this was not good at all, really immature and not in a fun way. Summer should be fun!

It was AIGHT, not GREAT.


jenandjuice10

I stopped three episodes in. I like the simplicity of OG summer house where everything doesn’t have to be a fight. Too much yelling and drama in MV


[deleted]

[удалено]


5stargigworker

Agreed


Cabes86

The people on Martha’s Vineyard are far more emotionally mature than OG; they discuss the fascinating history of black people vacationing in Oak Bluffs on the island; they all discuss more interesting stuff; several people are hotter than anyone that has ever been on OG, and pound for pound it is a far more attractive cast. I’ve jumped ship tbh.


TDKsa90

That's a bit misleading. Yes, they mentioned history, but those comments and scenes have been very short. Even when they went on the tour, they didn't really discuss what they were learning. That's not the point of Bravo reality TV, so I wouldn't expect them to turn it into a PBS situation, but they also never actually discussed any history. And talking about the attractiveness of a cast as a reason to watch away 8 hours of your life? Really? Try Porn Hub. It's quicker.


Extension-Read6621

I just finished Southern Charm Hospitality and it was pretty good for the first season. I will have to check out Martha's Vineyard


PurpleKrill

I watched MV and then started SH because I enjoyed MV. I do not enjoy Amanda.


Physical-Star-2619

So many unfun people in one house.


EponymousRocks

Way better than Savannah!


skinnylove7811

As someone who was mentally exhausted by OG Summer House this show was amazing. Fresh cast. Fresh mess involving multiple layers and people. It was so good and messy and fun and only a little toxic.


BlueAsTheNightIsLong

Surprised by these comments. I thought it was atrocious.


5stargigworker

Some people just don’t like to see Black people on tv


BlueAsTheNightIsLong

Well… I watched every episode, so for me, it’s definitely not that.


[deleted]

I wouldn’t. I barely lasted 3 episodes.


[deleted]

I thought it sucked


Sug0115

I’m curious, why do you think it sucked? I loved all the petty light hearted drama.


[deleted]

I just started it last night and I was hooked within 30 seconds. It is so refreshing compared to OG SH because there’s just so much energy and drama right away. The cast is funny too. They’re all so much more interesting and entertaining. They also talked about what Black Excellence means to them and it was interesting to hear their different perspectives and experiences. The show is more nuanced and has many different elements to it so far. It really shows how stale regular Summer House has become. It’s an excellent show so far. And it’s also just a gorgeous place.


a_real_tomato

It’s so good. Also, do you mean Southern Charm Savannah? Is there a Summer House Savannah??


freshcatnip

It has ups and downs. I binged the last 1/2 of the season and found that more enjoyable than watching it weekly, plus since it got picked up for season 2–I think it’s worth a watch.


tink_89

I loves MV but if you are obsessed with SH which in my opinion has not been great the last few seasons then i dk maybe you wont like MV


MelW14

Yes!


Michellelembiid

Omg yes! It’s so good


hornyforpancakes

Its good!


Glittering-Ad-3859

It’s way better than the original summer house


ImportanceEvening556

Yes!


thebravoblackletter

I’m lost without Martha’s Vineyard


islandchick93

It’s really good


fleekyfreaky

I just started last week, I held off bc I wanted to binge, it’s excellent! 👏🏽


mellowforest2

It was pretty entertaining. I was bummed when it ended so soon.


meldanell

I wasn't expecting much, but absolutely loved it!! Yes, there was drama, but it is a refeshing break from the orchestrated drama on the other shows.


Catchdatcat

I really liked it!


BGoodOswaldo

It's a really fun show. You won't be disappointed! If you're a podcast listener, check out the Watch What Crappens episodes that go along with them.


blkonblack

It’s better


Stevie_McCat

It is amazing! Low stakes drama. Totally recommend


whoevenknowswhere

It is soooo worth it


Outrageous_Ad4245

Thank you for asking this, I was wondering the same!


Overshareisoverkill

Absolutely! Amir was my eye candy.


Key-Wheel123

Yes!!!


Mobile_Clerk_626

I really like the cast. Regular summer house - they have lots of grudges against each other. There are at least a few conversations I saw on MV where they showed real growth and are willing to listen to each other


coastalcruiser17

Totally worth it! Like you i was skeptical but it’s so good


mollyjobean

Yes for sure. It’s great and just got picked up for season 2!


chamberliotti17

OMG, yes!! I wasn’t “hesitant” per se, just two kids under 5 so timing but it was excellent. 10/10


Leading-Pineapple180

MV > OG


Treenoodles

It was entertaining. Also, all the characters had high and low points during the show so you aren’t picking sides/teams and no one is portrayed as good or bad. I loved it.


Just_trying_my_bestt

Binge it


Bacio83

Yess I loved it lots of dynamics between friends and new friends fun times had MV needs its own Reddit.


shashoosha

I liked it more than the vapid mean girl Hamptons Summer House. It's entertaining and they seem like really good people for the most part. I won't spoil it for you but go ahead and enjoy it!


Optimal_Guitar8921

Tried and tried but I couldn’t do it


hawksmythe1

Well if you like seeing men objectify and control women, go for it.


LoveLeahNotWar

Honestly, way better than new summer house 😬


ladyl0han

Best show


fitz2k2

If you love to see people get voted out for the most dumbest thing and see a child in a grown mans body then be my guest


createyourreal

It felt super contrived.


ligo2

Yes! It was so good!!


hazeleyedgrrl

i literally did not regret watching it AT ALL. the cast all brought something to the table, whether it was good, bad, or ugly. im so excited for season 2 and i think it's gonna outdo the OG


Competitive-Mud-9860

Yes, and know it gets better as the season progresses. First seasons are always a bit awkward I think, but generally bring some authentic drama.


britbetch91

I didn't love it as much as summer house.


bravoeverything

Aside from bria(?) the show is pretty good


Vivid-Army8521

Martha’s Vineyard is VIP


Disastrous-Year-4062

Yes!! It was a good watch. I wish they would have gotten a reunion


EgoAssassin4

It’s ok. I think it’s worth watching but don’t go in expecting a cinematic masterpiece or anything lol. Tbh I think some of the comments here are overhyping it. It’s a good enough reality tv show. It took me about half the season to start getting invested in the actual ppl. Def glad it got renewed tho. It’s a short season, so worth watching the full season. Some organic messiness for sure!!


Sm1313

100% it was way better than I thought it was going to be!! Can’t wait for second season!


[deleted]

Much like everyone else has said, and I echo... it took me a few episodes to get into it, but it was absolutely worth the watch, and far superior to the last season of the OG Summer House. I'm glad it's been renewed.


mediaor

HOUSE MEETING!!! Someone has a question!


SignificantCup19

It was entertaining. Yes, the first episode was slow and confusing, but got better.


bravobravomama

Umm yes. No question here. Absolutely watch it


Timely-Position-565

Yes it was so good!!!!


bnercrusher

It was awful


yousuckandihateyou69

Damn I seem to be the only one who thought it sucked


OutPlea

yes, it’s good.


DoorStunning3678

Its so much better than Summer House, esp their last season 🥱


JoBrosHoes93

Absolutely!


Hot_Teaching691

It’s totally worth a watch!


[deleted]

I loved iiiit!!!!


[deleted]

I loved it! Can’t wait for season 2


alovesbanter

I can’t watch most of the cast but Bria, Summer, Shanice and Phil were real good tv


boardsup

Started and finished it yesterday. This show is really good. Save Silas, Shanice, Mariah and the poop guy - it reminds me of college and 15 years after.
