The reality show is great but it feels like Hulu’s ‘The Kardashians’ is rather tame in comparison to the drama fans are used to from E Network’s ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’. With all five sisters being producers of the Hulu Original, it feels like everything seen on the show is an attempt to paint the women in the best light possible.
Kim Kardashian’s controversial comment about women in business was met with backlash from many, but there is no denying the fact that she and her husband, Kanye West, still have privilege. Kim explained how her mother, Kris, worked hard throughout her 50s to provide them with a comfortable life. This shows that even if someone has privilege, they can still learn and grow from their mistakes. ..

Kourtney and Kylie on the other hand were missing from almost all of this episode. Khloe is doing a good job keeping her personal life at bay from the show.
Despite its shortcomings, “The Kardashians” is an attempt by the show’s producers to create a more sympathetic portrayal of the family than what can be found on the internet. ..
