Tom Shales Washington Post No, it's not a real estate development. It's a revoltin' development. It's an Aaron Spelling show even worse, by several degrees, than the usual Aaron Spelling show. Jun 13, 2019 Full Review Todd Everett Variety Show is clearly ludicrous if played very straight under Christopher Leitch's direction. Not as bizarre as Spelling's earlier trip to the beach, 2000 Malibu Road, and a lot of fun, Malibu Shores might work... Jun 13, 2019 Full Review John J. O'Connor New York Times "I think they've only begun," says Zack. Shuddering, I think so, too. Jun 13, 2019 Full Review John Carman San Francisco Examiner Spelling took a look at the plainness of the San Fernando Valley, and the splendor of Malibu, and thought hmmm, Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet in oceanfront wrapping... It's an awful show. Jun 13, 2019 Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel Spelling is fond of noting that he comes from humble Texas origins but his current exalted status obviously affects his class consciousness. So his take on what constitutes a West Side Story-type conflict between young people is a little warped. Jun 13, 2019 Full Review Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) The world wouldn't necessarily be a better place without Malibu Shores, but it certainly isn't a better place with this new show.Not only is "Shores" lowbrow junk, it's pretentious lowbrow junk.
