15 Reasons You Should Be Obsessing Over 'Ladies Of London'

Are you watching Ladies Of London? Why not?! You probably don't have a good reason, but lucky for you, there are about a million reasons why you should make this reality series your new addiction. It's fun, it's funny (both when it's trying and not trying to be), and it's giving The Real Housewives a run for its money in terms of fabulousness and drama. Maybe you've heard of this show and have been meaning to check it out. Or maybe it's not on your pop culture radar. Which isn't the craziest thing ever since it's not talked about as much as it should be. Well, that totally ends today. It's time that this show gets its due. It deserves as much credit as other reality series because it's really that good. So it's time to ask yourself a really important question: Why is this not your latest reality TV addiction? Because it needs to be. Here are 15 reasons that Ladies Of London should be your next reality TV obsession.

15 It's Set In Fabulous London

If you can't go somewhere, you can do the next best thing: watch it on TV. Makes sense, right? It's a lot cheaper than a plane ticket, that's for sure. If you have some wanderlust, then tune into Ladies Of London and lust over fabulous London. This is really one of the best settings for a reality show. It's funny that this hasn't really happened before but that's okay, there's no reason to dwell or think about the sad past. You have a reality show based in London now and it's time to get obsessed with it. London is one of those super beautiful and elegant and photogenic cities. It's like New York in that way. It looks great on camera and will make you want to book a trip ASAP. Until then, you can binge this wonderful show, and it really will make you feel like your own life is about a thousand times more sophisticated.

14 Two Words: Caroline Stanbury

Caroline is AMAZING. She's reality TV gold. Think Lisa Vanderpump from The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills or Patricia Altschul from Southern Charm. Caroline is beautiful, fashionable, clever, witty, sarcastic, smart, and deep down she's super nice but she might totally scare you at first. And seriously, that's probably exactly the way that she likes it. Caroline is usually fighting with at least some of the ladies or at least on the outs with them and she will make you totally believe that she couldn't care less. After all, she's too busy living her fabulous life and being her fabulous self. You want to be her, you want to be BFFs with her, and again, you're kind of scared and intimidated. But it's all in good fun and she makes this one reality show that you definitely need to be watching. More than that, you definitely need to get obsessed with it.

13 The Fights Are Epic

There's really one major reason that you watch reality TV and one reason only: the fights. If there aren't good fights, you can't even deal. And if the fights make perfect and complete sense, you're not interested. While that might sound nuts to the untrained person, you are a reality TV expert and you know the truth: a good reality TV argument is epic because it makes no sense at all. You want to think that everyone is being totally crazy and unreasonable and that no one is saying anything even remotely logical. But you're not being super mean or anything like that. Nope. The women totally admit that they get carried away sometimes and fight too much and let their anger get the best of them. You're just agreeing with them. Luckily, Ladies Of London has some pretty confusing fights and season three even starts with one of them.

12 The Trips Are Fun

In the third season, the ladies take a trip to Scotland it's just as fabulous and awesome as you would expect. Another reason you watch reality TV is to pretend that you're traveling just like the women. You could never afford such crazy lavish trips, of course, but you can watch them on television and sometimes that's the next best thing. Okay, it's really not as great because you're not actually on vacation yourself or staying in a fancy hotel or anything like that. But you need to make yourself feel better so this is just what you tell yourself. You want to watch this show because the trips are really fun and just as sophisticated and expensive as you would want them to be. You will really get everything that you want to get out of watching this. So really, what's stopping you? Why aren't you caught up yet?

11 There's The Beautiful English Countryside

One of the ladies is Julie, a health-conscious yoga teacher whose husband Luke's family owns a fabulous country estate called Mapperton. In the third season of the show, Julie is starting her big job of running the whole thing, and it's fascinating to watch. Luke is royal and is going to be the Earl of Sandwich (which is just really fun). So if you love the beautiful English countryside -- which you should -- you will love watching this show. It will take you out of your everyday life and if you live in a super congested city, you will literally breathe a sigh of relief when you watch the scenes shot in the country. Okay, maybe not, but you will definitely want to get outside more and that's always a good thing. Especially since you have such a TV addiction. But since that's not going to stop anytime soon, you will just have to get more fresh air. Okay. It's totally settled.

10 There Are Americans

Ladies Of London features a handful of women who are American and living in London because they fell in love (AWWW). Julie is one and Juliet is another. This causes all sorts of fun drama since sometimes, the Londoners believe that the Americans are being too crass and basically "American" and the Americans think the Londoners are too stuck up and need to take a chill pill. Talk about drama! Yes, it is exactly as hilarious and fun as it sounds, and it makes for some major tension and conflict. Which is what you totally love about watching reality TV. This was more of a thing back in the first season (which completely makes sense) and now that the show just finished its third season, it is not such a big plot point, but it is still worth tuning in for this reason. Whatever brings the amazing drama, right?

9 There's Family Drama

Caroline Stanbury is related to another lady on the show: Sophie Stanbury. They are former sisters-in-law since Sophie was married to Caroline's brother Alex. Of course, things are never super smooth between two women on a reality TV show, and these two have their fair share of drama and tough moments. They have a pretty epic fight near the beginning of the third season since Caroline is really unhappy with Sophie and Sophie is wondering who she can trust. Yup, they just hit reality TV gold with that moment. This is what you live for. This is literally why you watch shows like this. What, you want everyone to get along all the time? You want everyone to laugh and smile and giggle and trust everyone? Not happening. At least not on a reality show. Sure, in real life that works out, but it doesn't create the kind of drama that you want and expect.

8 There Are Some Real Moments

Yes, really. There are some real moments in a reality TV show. It's actually possible. The truth is that while these ladies seem like they live totally fabulous and fantastic lives, they do suffer like anyone else and they have ups and downs like anyone else. Take Caroline Fleming, for example. In the third season, she's having a super rough time since her dad is super sick and has cancer. As she says on the show, she's always had a really tough relationship with him and never really felt accepted by any of her relatives, but this tragedy has brought her much closer to him. Another lady who's having a tough time this season is Marissa who gives birth to her third baby but not after it almost kills her. Like literally. She is super terrified to go to the hospital because the operation is going to be so high-risk, she might not make it. Thankfully, everything goes well and she and her adorable baby girl are healthy, but it's a scary moment and proves that even reality stars have sad moments.

7 The Fashion Is On Point

For one thing, Juliet has a fashion blog so you can always expect her to look really awesome. Even when she's just hanging out at home or grabbing a casual dinner with her lovely and adorable husband. Okay, especially when she's doing that since she knows how to make casual look incredible. The ladies all have stellar style and that's enough of a selling point for you to tune in. You will wish that you lived in London because this show will make you believe that if you live in this cosmopolitan city, you will automatically delve a killer sense of style. It's like fashion is in the London air or something. You totally believe that. Now you think that you need to care more about your clothes and make more of an effort. And yes, this show will make you want to go on a major shopping spree and get rid of everything that you own. Just call it an occupational hazard or something.

6 The Ladies Have Cool Businesses

These are not women who are content to sit back and lounge. Nope. These women work hard and they all have a lot of really cool business ventures. Marissa and her husband Matt own the restaurant Bumpkin and they even started a really cool hot dog restaurant called Top Dog. Caroline Stanbury had a really amazing gift business before it sadly went under and Caroline Fleming is a famous model and lifestyle figure in Denmark who has cookbooks and lines of home decor. Juliet is a fashion blogger and really stylish too. It's really great to watch a reality show and watch strong, independent women who aren't afraid to work hard and hustle and go after what they want in life. It's kind of annoying when you watch women who are content to just go to lunch and shop and get their hair done, right? That's not how you life your life so that's not what you want to watch. Definitely not.

5 There Are Tons Of Showdowns

Some might call these conversations. Or heart-to-hearts. Or simply just hanging out. But you are a reality TV connoisseur and you know the truth. You know that when two women sit down and they are reality TV stars, that means that something is going to go down. They are going to have a showdown to be specific and things are going to get real. They are going to get raw, real, and say a whole lot of things that they don't really mean to say. Or maybe they do. Sometimes it can be hard to tell. One thing is for sure, you will finish the episode feeling a bit shell-shocked and confused and you will feel like someone just yelled at you for an hour. That's one side-effect of watching reality TV and it's not something that you can really change. You just have to accept it and learn to love it. And if you don't love it, then you're not a true reality TV fan. Which you are. So you will love it.

4 The Ladies Actually Eat

Yes, really. You will see these ladies eat. You will see them go out for dinner and actually order food and you will see them host dinner parties and eat the food. While that may seem nuts, you know it's not. Because think about how many reality shows (or sitcoms or dramas for that matter) there are that seem to ignore the fact that human beings need to eat in order to survive. You know, it's kind of a thing. This is something that needs to happen a whole lot more on television. Let's face it, you love to eat and that's something that's never going to change. You also don't want to apologize for it or feel ashamed. You're a human being and you need to eat and that's it. You don't get this whole "ladies should only eat dainty food like salad" thing. You hate the idea that you should never eat actual food on a first date. Come on, if you end up dating this guy, he's going to find out that you eat food soon enough.

3 Everyone Has The Best Hair

This may seem like a super silly reason to watch a reality show but it's really not. Because think about it: where else are you going to get some hair inspiration?! Chances are, you've been wearing your hair the same way since you were a kid. Or at least since high school. And you will never, ever change it… until something comes along and convinces you. And then it's literally all that you can think about it. When you watch Ladies Of London, you will a.) bow down to everyone because they all have the greatest hair on earth and b.) want to chop your hair and get a long bob. You know, a lob as the cool kids call it. Just look at Caroline Stanbury's lob for a moment. It is a thing of beauty. It needs a statute or monument or maybe its own museum. Is that a thing? It should be. You would totally visit a hair museum.

2 It's Wish Fulfillment

Do you want to watch women go on fun trips, go to lunch, grab drinks, and look fabulous the entire time? Of course, right? What will get you into Ladies Of London and what will make sure that this is a show that you keep watching (and become totally obsessed with) is the fact that it is total wish fulfillment. You may not live in a city as wonderful as London and you probably don't have tons of disposable income to spend on fancy trips and to refresh your wardrobe as often as these women. Okay, you definitely don't, because you're not a reality star and you just don't have the resources that these ladies do. But the fact that your daily lifestyle is a lot different from these women is exactly why you should watch. With every episode that you watch, you will be able to pretend that you're just as fabulous as these ladies are, and after a while, you might even start to believe it. Which you should. Because you don't need money to be fabulous (although let's face it, it does help).

1 You Will Be Kept Guessing

The WORST thing about watching any kind of entertainment -- whether that's a movie, sitcom, drama, or reality show -- is that sometimes there is just zero element of surprise. You guess what's going to happen from a mile away (and that's even worse if the TV show is a mystery since suddenly everything is absolutely ruined for you). When a show or film becomes so predictable that you become bored and start watching the clock, that's really bad news. That means your love affair with this particular section of pop culture is totally over and it's time to move on. Luckily for you, that will NEVER happen if you get obsessed with Ladies Of London. This is a truly fascinating show that just keeps getting better and better with every episode and every season. You will never be able to guess what the ladies are going to do and say and you will always be super entertained. So get cozy. There's a binge-watching session in your near future.
