The Duggars ("19 Kids and Counting") and the Gosselins ("Jon & Kate Plus 8") may have been there before by using their chaotic domestic lives as the script for a TLC reality show but "The Baldwins" brings one key extra detail that puts jeopardy front and centre – Alec Baldwin's imminent trial for involuntary manslaughter after he accidentally shot and killed Halyna Hutchins, the cinematographer on the set of his movie "Rust".
Here’s how to watch “The Baldwins" from anywhere with a VPN.
The show deals with the elephant in the room in episode one – although the cynical might argue that the whole project is an attempt to deal with events surrounding the court case – and Hilaria Baldwin claims that apart from the possibility of 18 months in jail weighing on her husband's shoulders, he is also suffering from PTSD and Survivor's Guilt.
And OCD apparently, although that has nothing to do with the shooting, which must make living in a house with seven children and attempting to move them from Manhattan to their mansion in the Hamptons something of a challenge (with or without two nannies). It's not all about Alec, however.
Hilaria (originally Hillary) steps up to take her share of the limelight and the opportunity to hit back at critics who claim her Spanish accent is phoney (she was born in Massachusetts) and, worse, cultural appropriation. She denies all charges and claims to love both languages. Buckle up, it's going to be an interesting ride.
