Selling The OC premiered on August 24, 2022 and binge-watchers have given their reviews already – and fans are divided over the drama.
*WARNING: Spoilers ahead for Selling The OC season 1*
The Oppenheim Group has expanded its real estate empire to Newport Beach, home to the most luxury properties you’ve ever laid eyes on. If you struggled to differentiate between Brett and Jason Oppenheim, get ready to have your mind blown by Selling The OC‘s three different Alexandras.
With a fresh set of agents attempting to prove themselves as the company’s best realtor, office politics will get complicated, but fans have complained that a little too much drama has been served on the Netflix spin-off.
Some fan reviews include: There’s too much drama and not enough multi-million dollar mansions.
“Too much office drama,” reviews Selling The OC fans
It turns out, that there is such a thing as too much drama on reality shows, according to Selling The OC fans. Don’t get me wrong, shocking revelations keep viewers on the edge of their seats, but when jaw-dropping mansions are involved, extensive tours are a must.
“Selling The OC is just drama, barely any house-selling kmt,” a Twitter fan complained.
Another reviewed that Selling The OC doesn’t compare to its sister shows. They said: “Selling The OC is not moving me, like Selling Sunset and Selling Tampa. They beef more than they sell houses.”
According to one viewer, only three houses were sold eight episodes in. The catch? There are only eight episodes!
“Brett and Jason would not have had that with the ladies on Selling Sunset. The OC been spending most of their time drinking and gossiping,” they claimed.
Selling the OC is gonna be packed with drama… Drama drama drama with a few houses sparkled in between

The exploding drama in season 1
So what’s the beef that has taken center stage? There’s an extensive list, but here are two of the most memorable tensions.
Alexandra and Alexandra vs the office
Alexandra Jarvis and Alexandra Rose are the ultimate partners, proclaiming themselves as “the top-producing female agents in the office”, but that’s rubbed their colleagues the wrong way.
“We run circles around them. We’re really unstoppable,” admitted Jarvis.
On the other side, however, their co-stars are skeptical of their selling methods and subtly accused the duo of pursuing personal relationships with clients to secure lucrative deals. Alex Rose firmly denied the allegations.
Kayla Cardona and Tyler Stanaland’s alleged kiss
Tyler married Pitch Perfect’s Brittany Snow in 2020, but that didn’t stop colleague Kayla Cardona from allegedly attempting to smooch him.
At an after-work drinks event, an intoxicated Kayla allegedly tried to kiss Tyler. The scenes were not filmed on camera, but several agents recount the drama in season 1 episode 5.
Polly Brindle labeled Kayla’s reported behavior as “despicable” as she’s been cheated on by her spouse before. “[It’s] not only disrespectful to Tyler and Tyler’s marriage but also disrespectful to me… It’s honestly despicable behavior,” she said.
Tyler admitted that his colleague tried to kiss him twice, but has kept the situation calm on the show to minimize drama.
Kayla reportedly apologized for her alleged behavior and they have since moved on from the situation.
