Staten Island = Essex and Kent. Former city working class gone middle class and moved to the suburbs. Politically they lean towards the right and some of them are racist.

I always thought of Essex and New Jersey to be similar. They even made a TV show called "The Only Way is Essex" inspired by "Jersey Shore" since the people/culture are similar.

There was also Geordie Shore - but honestly you really don't want to know.

Which was the worst, Geordie Shore, The Only Way is Essex or Made in Chelsea? I couldn't ever bring myself to watch any of them!

I really don't think there could be a best, perhaps one was slightly less bad than the rest, but I am not even sure about that.

They should do something like this for Glasgow - something like Made In Govan, now that could be a bit more interesting!
