A wonderful documentary series of unmatched significance

This exhilarating documentary series gives us a unique insight into the cultural elite of Tallaght, a rich and refined cultural area of Ireland. Told through a fly-on-the-wall narrative style, Tallafornia tells the story of 6 suave and sophisticated socialites dealing with their everyday conflicts of relationships, social status, and chronic herpes. 

When watching this one cannot help but feel admiration for its casting members: Philip, known among his peers as 'Philly', was raised in the mean streets of Kilmanagh, and is now living the proverbial dream by sharing a town house on the other side of Tallagh. Likewise, our admiration is also shared with house-mate Nikita, whose liberal attitudes towards sexual partners and excess makes her a pioneering figure for modern feminism. 

Central to the story is Cormac, who occasionally refers to himself in the third person as 'The Corminator' and constantly makes reference to his bulging biceps and six-pack abs. Whether this is an attempt to disguise his latent homosexuality is not made crystal clear, but is certainly alluded to in the narrative. Throughout the series, we see him overcompensating with heterosexual conquests, rather than embracing his inner lust for male genitalia.

This eye-opening documentary tells the story of triumph over adversity, hope over despair, and above all getting free in to The Plaza on a Saturday night. It's these encapsulating themes that make Tallafornia, arguably, the greatest reality series about people from Tallagh going to nightclubs ever produced.

The reality TV genre, short for "reality television," features real-life situations, events, and interactions, often involving ordinary people rather than actors performing scripted roles. Reality TV shows aim to capture unscripted and authentic moments, providing viewers with a glimpse into various aspects of human life, behavior, and experiences.
