Style, Not Substance
If the success of a reality show rested solely on landscape architecture and interior design, Bravo’s “Welcome to the Parker” would be a slam dunk. This tale of life behind the curtain at a Palm Springs resort is shimmering with visuals, from the meticulously manicured lawns to the room service delivered via rickshaw.
But this isn’t a how-to show about hotel management, and no amount of margaritas from a fussy poolside bar can make up for a lack of juicy characters. VH1′s modeling series, “The Agency,” had boozy, whiny Becky. Bravo’s inside-the-gym show, “Work Out,” has a hard-core impresario named Jackie. “Welcome to the Parker” remains, in its first two installments, a series in search of an anchor.
