Insanely watchable.
By Robert Abele FULL REVIEW

Deadpan and gorgeously shot, The Hills is an addictively watchable visit to the cool kids' table.
By James Poniewozik FULL REVIEW

If "Laguna Beach" looked perpetually like late afternoon -- the mellow light of cocktail hour, the promise of a party -- "The Hills" looks like a workday.
By Virginia Heffernan FULL REVIEW

It's a good thing reality TV has nothing to do with real life.
By Linda Stasi FULL REVIEW

Compared with the superhit "Sweet 16," "The Hills" is more refined in its celebration of materialism, though no less celebratory.
By Allison Benedikt FULL REVIEW
25
There are a lot of studious, high-achiever kids. Lauren is an anomaly. She is the lucky one. The one with an MTV camera crew for a resume. The pretty one with petty friends who melt in bikinis by blue-green pools of entitlement and argue idly with quarrelsome, spoiled boyfriends.
By Doug Elfman FULL REVIEW
10
All told, it's "The Simple Life" with less substance, featuring youths that have clearly studied both the reality TV manual and "The OC" to perfect their "characters."
