The angel on my shoulder says H8R is a piece of slime, bringing out the worst in everyone involved. But the devil on my other shoulder says this show is the logical outcome of our culture's celeb-obsession, and everyone involved gets precisely what they deserve. Which is soooo fun to watch.

It's Celebrity Rehab in open spaces with drinking allowed. And during an extremely weak moment, your friendly content provider is going to admit that this steaming pile turns out to be guilty pleasure-approved, even if it's almost assuredly all an act on the part of everyone. Read full review

If you intend to think that hard about this silly show, don't bother watching it. The interesting elements have little to do with the hater-versus-hated matchups, anyway. Read full review

H8R feels contrived whether there's a happy ending or not, so there's not much point in watching except perhaps for the initial confrontation between the hater and the object of his/her scorn if that's the kind of uncomfortable drama you crave. Read full review

Ostensibly an anti-bullying effort for the TMZ era, it makes the celebrities look like giant babies. Read full review

Absolutely the worst show on TV, maybe even in the history of television, boy was this a stinker. I am glad it got flushed down the toilet as quick as it did. Poor Mario Lopez he needs to find better work he is too cute to waste his talents on this garbage.
