SERIES PREMIERE: This is a warning, not a recommendation. What could be more cynical, and even less entertaining, than a dating reality show? How about a scripted series that pretends to be a behind-the-scenes look at the making of a dating reality show, and is every bit as manipulative and abrasive as the genre it lampoons and deconstructs? UnReal wants to be knowingly superior to the Bachelor-type program it “examines,” but somehow creates a universe, and a program, that is even worse. Kim Zimmer stars as the screaming banshee of a producer, and Shiri Apppleby plays an assistant returning, after a meltdown, to manipulate the on-camera action without losing what’s left of her soul. Good luck with that. People who are really into The Bachelor may find this amusing, even novel – but sensible viewers will do neither.
