There might be reasons for a person to write off "UnREAL," but once you start to watch, you end up hooked on the behind-the-scenes drama of life on the set of a show that might bear just the slightest resemblance to "The Bachelor." Thanks to a magnetic cast, including Shiri Appleby and Constance Zimmer, and some incredibly savvy scripting, "UnREAL" was a show that stuck with us all year long, proving its ability to compete in television's most competitive year yet. Props to Lifetime, by the way, for its impressive support of this delightfully addictive yet brutal series. Can't wait for Season 2.

7. UnREAL (Lifetime)

For too long, strong female TV characters were basically just male characters in drag. But the anti-heroines on UnREAL actually acted like women — reprehensible women. They operated within unabashedly girlie space of a TV dating show. Their preferred form of violence was emotional, not physical. And their victims were often other women, despite their insistence that they supported the sisterhood. And the worse these characters behaved, the sharper the show’s commentary about the ruthless forms that internalized misogyny can take. When we first meet Rachel (Shiri Appleby), a reality TV producer who exploits contestants’ personal traumas for the Bachelor-like series Everlasting, she’s wearing a T-shirt that reads “This Is What a Feminist Looks Like,” and she sees no conflict between that statement and the fact that her job requires her to follow the mantra “****s get cut.” Rachel and her executive producer Quinn (Constance Zimmer) would be the Jesse Pinkman and Walter White of Everlasting, except they don’t have much control of their lives off set: Quinn is having an affair with her married boss, who refuses to leave his wife, and she and Rachel are both beholden to the network’s sexist male executives. So Rachel and Quinn seize power in the one way they can, by brutalizing the contestants in increasingly inventive ways. Maybe that’s bad for feminism — but it’s great for TV.

Hopefully 2016 is Even Better

^ yep

**azure angel** · 12-29-2015, 06:55 AM

I can't wait to know who will play "Yael"

**Impossible Girl** · 12-29-2015, 07:44 AM

I'm sure they will find the right Actress. They did a fantastic casting in Season1.

It also can happen that one of these characters (even "Yael" ) will look different than the description says.

We should get news very soon. I saw on Instagram that the casting started but they din't show any Actors who did audition.

**azure angel** · 12-29-2015, 02:23 PM

I'm excited.

Shiri Appleby gave an amazing performance on UnReal—and took on the rare task of playing a woman a decade younger than she is.

Shiri Appelby as Rachel on Unreal was one of the year’s breakout performances.

Go Shiri!

That's great

I'm glad the show and Shiri are getting such amazing reviews.
