Reception

Writing for Common Sense Media , reviewer Melissa Camacho said, "While the overall series will remind you of unscripted shows like Vanderpump Rules , Southern Hospitality remains true to its roots by attempting to contextualize all of this within Southern culture and community, a few of which border on stereotypes about women, clothes, and attitudes. Folks who aren't drawn to this type of entertainment won't find much here. Meanwhile, if you're a fan of the franchise, you'll find the series to be a bit of a departure from its predecessors." [35]
