ITV's new reality show The Neighbourhood, hosted by Graham Norton, has been met with criticism from viewers who have labelled the cast 'unlikeable' just minutes into the broadcast. The programme, which sees six households move into a Peak District cul-de-sac to compete for a £250,000 prize, has failed to impress audiences on social media.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one viewer asked: 'Is it just me or are most of them unlikeable?' Another echoed: '15 minutes watching for the first time, what an unlikeable bunch.' A third added: 'This could have had such potential but aside from the uni boys and scouse girls, everyone is so unlikeable.'
One contestant in particular has drawn ire: Jordan from the Lozman-Sturrocks household. In episode two, Jordan suggested spreading rumours about other contestants, leading to a row with his step-father Dave. Viewers expressed frustration, with one posting: 'Shame you can't boot individuals out, because...Jordan.' Another wrote: 'Jordan's doing my head in!'
However, not all feedback was negative. Some viewers enjoyed the show, with one commenting: 'The Neighbourhood looks like things are boiling up. I’ll be sat for Sunday.' Another said: 'I hate...but I cant stop watching.' A third praised a challenge: 'That challenge was pretty good. I enjoyed it.'
