The Royals of Malibu - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Ok so if you’ve come here to listen to this thinking it’d bring the Royal book series by Erin Watt to life, um, it didn’t. It’s very loosely based on the book series and I wish it was more so, but that doesn’t necessarily make it bad. The production quality is through the roof and the voice actors are amazing, the story works, for sure, but is incredibly fast paced. My only major critique is the Gen Z Talk. As a gen-z myself I feel like I can say this, but hearing “lit” and “cap” in a podcast series is a little annoying. I can’t skip them like I can in a book so this just kinda gets annoying. Anywhoooo. It’s good. I like it (but please for the love of god the hyper modernisation is unnecessary).

So I follow Alyssa McKay on Snapchat and one day I saw that she was advertising season one of this podcast. And I got HOOKED. Once season one was finished I found the books so that I could find out what happened after the cliffhanger. So I listened to the the books and now I can’t wait to see how they interpret the books into future podcast episodes.

This is such a good story line the way they play it out the acting is amazing because you feel the emotion and you don’t need to see their faces, the fact that they make the story intense and it keeps you guessing 100% recommend

Not one for soapy dramas (on Tv or in a podcast)… BUT, I loved this! I prefer to listen to career oriented, business related, political, and true crime podcasts. Best “relax lady, it [work/career/money] can wait” listen of the year!

This plays out like a thirteen year old written Mary Sue fanfic or a bad teen CW show. The storylines are full of melodrama and nonsensical stuff that my adolescent self would’ve been addicted to. I played this during a roadtrip with my younger cousin and she loved it. The annoying bits are mostly the irrational way in which Ella ends up in Malibu; and how the writer can’t seem to focus on any other attribute Ella has than being hot. Nearly everyone mentions some aspect of this at least once during every episode of season 1. It would make a great drinking game. The same can be said for Reed. The one thing that really grates my nerves is the actress who plays Ella’s “flirting” voice. Not sure if it was done intentionally due to Ella’s cam girl past, but she does that weird white girl baby porn voice A. LOT. Anyway, if you’re a teen girl, you’ll probably love this. If not, may your patience be as thick as J’Lo’s thighs.
