Vanderpump Rules

Follow the passionate, volatile and hot-and-bothered-staff at Lisa Vanderpump’s West Hollywood mainstay SUR. Lisa balances her motherly instincts and shrewd business sense to keep control over this wild group of employees as they pursue their dreams and each other while working at her “Sexy, Unique Restaurant.”

Vanderpump Rules (2013-present) is a US reality soap created for Bravo that follows the staff of Lisa Vanderpump's West Hollywood restaurant SUR. Lisa Vanderpump (herself) acts as a motherly but shrewd boss keeping control over a volatile group of servers, bartenders and hosts, including Jax Taylor, Stassi Schroeder, Scheana Marie Shay, Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix. The engine of the show is the collision of work and romance: employees pursue their careers and each other inside the same restaurant, so shifts, flirtations, breakups and rivalries spill from the dining room into nightly life around town. Each season is built from a run of unscripted episodes that track confrontations, group dinners and sudden alliances. Across twelve seasons it is a continuing, serialized saga rather than a case-of-the-week format. Set in the Hollywood nightlife scene of Los Angeles, it carries a loud, glossy, gossip-driven tone with flashes of cringe and sincerity. Fans of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Summer House and Entourage will find resonance in its ensemble drama and social volatility.

Audience reception is mixed, with early seasons praised for their lively workplace drama and later seasons faulted for declining quality and drama that feels staged.
