High Society is a glitzy and glamour-besotted reality TV series that aired on The CW network in 2010. The show features Tinsley Mortimer, a renowned New York City socialite and fashion entrepreneur, as she navigates her complex life amidst the infamous, all-time-rich east coast crowd. Mortimer, as the central figure, allows viewers to enjoy a firsthand look into the daily lives, relationships, and influencer events that define the world of the American elite.

The show provides an in-depth perspective of the high glam, scandalous, and often mind-boggling world of New York's social circuit, where wealth, influence, and fame are the trifecta of success. Mortimer, being a part of this intensely luxurious social uproar, along with her close associates, forms the linchpin of the show.

High Society is not just about elegantly dressed women and men, ritzy events, or the magnificently decorated high-rise apartments with breathtaking views of Manhattan. It's equally about the challenges Mortimer faces as a woman looking to restart her life, following a messy and public divorce from her high-school sweetheart, Topper Mortimer. Her pursuit of love, business accolades, and social redefinition form the crux of the eight episodes of the show.

Viewers can expect to be taken along Mortimer's journey of attending world-renowned fashion weeks, high-profile charity events, privacy-invading paparazzi encounters, and more intimate moments among her peers, all the while dealing with relationship woes and the scrutiny of the public eye. Tinsley uses her charm and experience on the social scene to negotiate complex rivalries, alliances, and friendships.

Adding further dimension to the show are Mortimer's close-knit friends like Paul Johnson Calderon, a society bad-boy, friend and trouble starter and Dale Mercer, Tinsley's caring but often scrutinizing and critical mother. They play significant roles in the show, ensuring there is never a dull moment. Their fights, folly, and often extravagant ways of ameliorating situations bring about that necessary reality TV drama.

High Society captures the essence of the high-stakes New York social scene, with a focus on the fascinating interplay of friendship, power, and romantic relationships within an extremely privileged faction of society. Each episode delves into a deeper layer of this opulent microcosm, leaving viewers enchanted, shocked, and sometimes even bewildered by the gravity of the world Tinsley inhabits.

While the privilege, glamour, and excess are on full display, the show also does not shy away from exploring the intricacies of emotional life, and the struggles these figures face behind their veneer of perfected outward appearances. Mortimer's struggle to define herself independently of her reputation and high-profile divorce increases the depth of the narrative and allows the viewer to familiarize themselves with her on a more personal level.

For fans of other reality programs that delve into the lives of the charming elites, High Society is an excellent pick. Those looking for a mix of elevated culture, inter-personal drama, with a dash of romantic interludes will be treated to a display of glitz and glam packed with an array of jaw-dropping moments. Yet, it is the glimpses of vulnerability, resilience, and tenacity portrayed by Tinsley Mortimer in the face of personal and professional upheaval that transform High Society into more than just a showcase of exorbitance.

In summary, High Society is a provocative exploration of the lives of New York's postmodern elite, exposing the tumult beneath the glittering exterior and offering an entrancing view into a rarified world that many can only dream of participating in. With its mix of drama, glamour, and the alluring highs and lows of Tinsley Mortimer’s life, the show ensures viewers remain captivated throughout its run. Despite its short stint of a single season, High Society manages to bring a uniquely engaging narrative that houses an oddly addictive mix of shiny surfaces and human susceptibilities.

High Society is a series that ran for 1 seasons (16 episodes) between March 10, 2010 and on The CW
