From Keeping Up with the Kardashians to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the greater Los Angeles area has no shortage of rich people ready to ascend to reality TV stardom. But the cast of Netflix's "docusoap" Bling Empire takesthat old challenge to glittery new heights in their fun first season.

Inspired by the 2018 movie Crazy Rich Asians, the glossy unscripted series follows a group of hyper-affluent Asian and Asian-American Californians as they navigate their opulent, pre-pandemic lives. It's a classic low-stakes, high-spectacle setup with the narrative drama driven by the series' tremendously watchable personalities and their "more is more" approach to luxury.
