They barely had time to miss us.Only a year after putting an end to the reality TV show which made them world stars, the women of the Kardashian tribe put their Louis Vuitton suitcases at Disney+.The streaming platform is launching their brand new program this Thursday, soberly entitled Les Kardashian, which takes up the winning recipe from their previous show: pancakes of intra-family bun, luxurious life trains on the edge of indecency, a gooddose of shamelessness and situations so outrageous that they become hilarious.
No one really believed in it when the sisters Kim, Khloé and Kourtney, their half-sisters Kendall and Kylie as well as the Matriarch Kris announced, in 2020, to stop reality TV.The incredible Kardashian family, flagship of the American cable channel E!Entertainment, bowed out last year after 14 years of broadcasting, time to transform these young California well born into heavy goods vehicles.
With the Kardashian, fans are entitled to a double ration thanks to episodes for now an hour.And they find the clan where they had left it: today (almost) all family mothers, they juggle between children, galleys in love and ultra-lucrative activities of business women.From cosmetic brands to clothes, via lingerie, the Kardashian are today at the head of an empire estimated at more than $ 5 billion.
The return of the sextape
This is the big one (the only one?) Difference between the Kardashian and the program that preceded it: in 2007, the year of the first episode, the Kardashian sisters were young girls barely known to the general public.They had just left the shadows after the "flight" of Kim's sextape, then a thrower among others.A shot that had offered the starlet a double-edged notoriety: adored by some, it had also become the symbol of a sick star-system, which erects to the rank of anonymous icon devoid of talent but who daresExpose.
Things have changed well: today, Kim Kardashian weighs more than a billion on her own, she has made a place of choice in the very elitist in fashion, she multiplies the taking of political words andEven had access to the oval office to speak prison reform under the chairmanship of Donald Trump.So when the famous intimate video returns to haunt her from the first minutes of the Kardashian, this compromising document acts as a symbol of the path traveled.A thousand leagues from the brainless young man described by the celebrity press in her early days, Kim Kardashian can now catch her iPhone to call Marty Singer, the lawyer that the stars tear, and charge him to settle the case.
"J'ai tout le temps, tout l'argent et toutes les ressources nécessaires pour les anéantir", lâche-t-elle.Mothers like the others
The Kardashian stratospheric fortune offers the program some of its funniest moments: billionaires are stuck there between their lifestyle and the need to (a little) in terms of viewers.
The color is announced from the first sequence, which presents women of siblings in their splendid respective residences.All these little people are activated to meet at Kim, who receives around a "barbecue".Forget the merguez and the Plancha gambas.In Kardashian language, the barbecue is a splendid buffet at will cooked by a caterer.The hostess takes advantage of a time of lull during the preparations - the staff take care of everything - to explain to the cameraman that she leads a life as a mother like the others:
"J'ai nettoyé la salle de jeux aujourd'hui, et ce genre de chose me fait... bander. Simplement de ranger la salle de jeu. Je suis folle! N'importe quelle maman comprendra ça: si la salle de jeu est rangée, je dors bien la nuit."Any mother having a game room will be doubtful, agree with this assertion.A few moments later, it is in a procession of Rolls Royce - there is no shortage of the cameras one of the logos that meet their objective - that a tsunami of brown hair, sunglasses and manicured nails arises.The Kardashian are ready to eat!
Hard work and controversy
Before putting herself at the table, Kris Jenner La Momager - Understanding: Mother and Manager of the whole tribe - goes to Confessional to extend over the financial success of her offspring.She embarks on an endless list of business launched by her five daughters, a proud smile on his lips - remember that she receives 10% of the income received by all her children - interspersed with plans of her own routine.
At the age of 66, Kris Jenner gets up every day at 4 am to do her daily exercises, in the gym installed at her home.On her racing mat, her eyes barely open, she passes her first professional calls of the day: "How is it that nobody wins at 7 am? It's almost lunch time!"
If the money has always been an integral part of the Kardashian galaxy, it is accompanied in the Kardashian of a moralizing subtext: the clan assumes to land as an example of the American success, made of hard work andLauriers precisely harvested.A risky posture, as the Kardashian learned at their expense just two months ago.At the beginning of March, Kim Kardashian had triggered a controversy by letting himself go to a lesson in the penalty in an interview for Variety:
"J'ai le meilleur des conseils pour les femmes entrepreneuses: bougez votre p***** de c** et bossez" avait-elle lâché. "On dirait que plus personne ne veut bosser aujourd'hui."This observation, made by a woman from the Californian big bourgeoisie, had earned him a torrent of criticism on social networks.She obviously announced the content of the new program.
Divorces, pregnancies and tensions
Whether filmed or not, Kardashian's privacy is still known to the general public.Generally, they avoid any official comments, reserving the premiere of their reaction to viewers of their show.Like the incredible Kardashian family before her, the Kardashian holds the promise of doing the junction between what the public perceives through the celebrity press and what is really going on, seen from the inside.
Thus, no subject is you: the divorce of Kim Kardashian with rapper Kanye West, the second pregnancy of Kylie Jenner, the tense relations between Kourtney and the father of her three children ... all that agitated the media withoutThat the stars do not speak is now within the reach of all those who are interested in it.
Humor (and vulgarity) in standard
If the Kardashian managed to charm the general public, it is partly thanks to their ultra -daring humor and humor that they allow themselves, in an American television landscape still conservative.And this first episode proves that she has lost none of this franchise, which offers sequences of a twisted absurdity.
When Kourtney spans her new idyll with the famous drummer Travis Barker, it is to marvel at the "unique" way he addresses his daughter Penelope.The second according to, the 9-year-old girl asks her stepfather why he taps on his mother's legs.Answer: "I do drums on it"."On her buttocks?"asks the child."This is where it would make the most noise," replies the musician.The family laughs.
Same thing when Kim, on the phone with her lawyer, tries to prevent the broadcast of new extracts from his intimate video.Although she is on the verge of a new sex scandal, nothing seems to shake her lightness: "I am 99% that they have no extract," she said to her advice.Before adding to the address of his sisters: "Unless I was put a G *** in the C ** during my sleep!"."We dare to hope that it would have woken you up," whispers Khloé.Kourtney, visibly accustomed, does not even raise the eyes of his laptop.The lawyer is still on a speaker.
The adventure goes on
Kardashian detractors and their fans will have no reason to change their minds after viewing the Kardashian.And lovers of this culpable pleasure par excellence have not finished seeing the clan on their small screen.
Sur le même sujetKardashian sisters have raised all kinds of reasons to explain their decision to migrate to streaming.The longer episodes, the better respected authenticity, their desire to leave the cable ... But this move was not done without a pretty added value, the exact amount of which was not revealed.The very well informed variety evokes "a nine -figure salary".What predict new television adventures for years.
