Relatively Nat & Liv

Relatively Nat & Liv is a captivating reality television show that aired in 2019 on the E! channel. It is an offshoot of E!'s successful series "WAGS" (Wives and Girlfriends of high-profile sports personalities), focusing on two exceptionally charismatic and alluring characters- Natalie Halcro and Olivia Pierson, who captivated audience hearts in the parent show.

In Relatively Nat & Liv, we follow the lives of these Canadian cousins. Both Natalie and Olivia are quite famous as they are social media influencers, fashion designers, and models. Their popularity stems not only from their glamorous lifestyles but more significantly from their bold, funny, and outgoing personalities. They have a tremendous fan base, who regularly follow their blog posts and Instagram updates for the latest in beauty, fashion, and lifestyle.

However, in the series, we get to look beyond their high-profile, uber-glamorous lives, and also delve into the day-to-day experiences of these influencers. The series chronicles many aspects of their lives, thus adding dimension to their public personas and making it a treat to watch. Known for their fabulous lifestyle in Los Angeles, the show captures the interesting switch when they return to their root in Vancouver, bringing their LA glamour to the city's laid-back lifestyle.

The eight-episode series promises and delivers an abundance of drama, fashion, friendship, and family ties, essentially a rollercoaster ride into the lives of these star cousins. Apart from being cousins, they are also best friends, so their banter and camaraderie are definitely the highlights of the show. The series explores the close bond that exists between these women, how they navigate the ups and downs of their careers, and the support and love they have for each other through thick and thin.

A distinguishing aspect of the series is that it does not solely focus on the lives of Natalie and Olivia but also lets viewers get a taste of their rather large, convivial, and sometimes chaotic family. The show includes their brothers, parents, and grandparents, which adds an extra layer of depth and authenticity to their narratives. Their tight-knit family unit is central to the series and allows us to appreciate the grounding influence of family ties in their otherwise hectic and flashy lives. We see the challenges, the love, the conflicts, and the bonding moments that unfold within this large, boisterous family.

Relatively Nat & Liv isn’t just about the high points of being a social media star or a celebrity model - we also see the women dealing with business challenges, family conflicts, and sibling rivalry. We also delve into their philanthropic efforts and their commitment to giving back to their community, showing the serious dedication and commitment that is an integral part of their identities. The show expertly balances the glamor of their LA life with the ever-familiar and relatable family dynamics, juxtaposing the highs of fashionable events and photoshoots with low-key family dinners, disputes, and heartfelt reunions.

The show also masterfully portrays their struggles and hustles at establishing themselves in the tough and competitive fashion industry. They are not just Instagram personalities, and the series make sure to underline this fact time and again. Natalie and Olivia are serious about their fashion line, and we see their hard work, dedication, and commitment to their venture. We see them deal with manufacturers, attend industry events, and make important business decisions, all while maintaining their public personas as influencers and models.

In conclusion, Relatively Nat & Liv presents an irresistible mix of glamour, grit, and reality punched with fashion, family, and friendship. It provides an authentic visual treat to viewers looking to get an insider's peek into the life of popular influencers. At the same time, it remains grounded by showcasing the importance of family, irrespective of their glamorous and high-profile lifestyle. This combination of glamour, family, and fashion makes the series a refreshing departure from typical reality TV formats. This show, with its unpredictability, unabashed honesty, and humour, definitely enlivens the reality television landscape.
