Netflix’s 'Members Only: Palm Beach' Sparks Online Backlash — Viewers Call It 'Uptight and Stuffy

Members Only: Palm Beach is streaming now on Netflix

Five women — living the dream in Palm Beach — Rosalyn Yellin, Hilary Musser, Ro-mina Ustayev, Maria Cozamanis and Taja Abitbol — are navigating strict social codes and the tug-of-war between old money and new wealth. In a town where status is everything, they’re all competing to be queen of the scene. Here’s hoping the winner gets a tiara.

Now that the series has dropped, viewers have plenty to say. One fan posted on X, “This show is deplorable but GOOD! However, Ro-Mina how in the HELL are you are Trumper; you’re cognizant that you are an immigrant and these ladies destroy who you are! Proximity to the DEPLORABLES must be important because this is CRAZY!"

Another viewer wrote, “The face lifts, Gale and Rosylns friendship, the constant Dress code checking whilst being wildly overdressed, it’s all too much. I LOVE IT.” A third viewer added, “how f*cking uptight and stuffy these women are I don’t think I’m gonna be able to take a whole season of someone barking about etiquette and manners that looks like madam the puppet ..”

Others were equally blunt. One user wrote #MembersOnlyPalmBeach has to be Netflix’s idea of an SNL skit — “This can’t be real.” Another follower observed, “None of these ladies are loyal to each other. Like, wow! They all gossip about each other, snitch on each other, despise each other. It’s wild. I need a new season IMMEDIATELY.

Even before its premiere the show faced backlash as being a poor man’s Real Housewives. Time will tell whether these women can still build a loyal fanbase.
