The Real Housewives of Miami has been in the constant limelight since its debut on television. Over the years, this series has undergone various transformations, but the plot remains intact. However, this series drew inspiration from the American soap opera “Desperate Housewives”, which streamed from 2004 to 2012, for almost eight seasons. It covered the lifestyle of four leading women residing in a fictional town of Wisteria Lane. Though it was a perfect blend of mystery and comedy, people fell in love with the characters.
Especially the four women: Felicity Huffman as Lynette Scavo, Teri Hatcher as Susan Mayer, Eva Longoria as Gabrielle Solis, and Marcia Cross as Bree Van de Kamp. Every day, their lifestyle gets disrupted due to the unveiling of hidden secrets and confrontation with the past, and the arrival of new characters who unfold these women’s secrets to society. Bound to societal norms, these women navigate their personal lives and professional lives with care amidst chaos.
Speaking of the Real Housewives series, it began in 2006 in America, as “The Real Housewives of Orange County”. Since then, it has aired in different instalments of the franchise, like The Real Housewives of New York City, The Real Housewives of Atlanta, The Real Housewives of Miami, The Real Housewives of New Jersey, and more, ultimately airing in international markets, titled The Real Housewives of Athens and The Real Housewives of Cheshire. Moreover, each instalment has its own distinctive cast of characters and narration.
However, unlike “Vanderpump Rules”, which features only selected staff members from Lisa Vanderpump’s restaurants and bars, this show portrays the real lifestyles of housewives.
Uber Lifestyle: Luxurious Lifestyle
Miami, a city renowned for its modern art, cultural diversity, vibrant nightlife, and white sand beaches, holds countless memories of communities that reflect during celebration or any event. One such community is where these housewives reside. Their everyday life is portrayed–attending events, fashion shows, home decor, and business meetings–while overcoming the conflicts and betrayals.
Though the lifestyles of the six leading women: Alexia Nepola, Larsa Pippen, Lisa Hochstein, Guerdy Abraira, Julia Lemigova, and Stephanie Shojaee, are the centre focus, many others appear as their friends, some of whom have previously been featured on the show as guests.
Well Balance
These women handle their family matters with care, like preparing breakfast for their kids, taking care of their husbands, and running errands for a livelihood. Apart from this, these social elite women resolve the crises as well, like infidelity from their partners, betrayals from their family members and co-workers in offices and businesses.
Centre of Attraction
Their extravagant lifestyle steals the show and becomes the centre of attraction; family celebrations, travelling abroad for opulent events, or a refreshing vacation add to the dazzling life. However, tension arises when these moments go haywire and lead to internal conflicts and bad remarks.
