Variety's TV review pans "Earle Meets World," the new Netflix reality series following TikTok influencer Alix Earle and her family, describing it as tedious and lacking the star quality of comparable shows. The critic argues the format, modelled on "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," fails because Earle's appeal rests on relatable blandness rather than the wit or drama needed to sustain a reality series, leaving the eight-episode season feeling flat despite its glamorous settings.

The show follows Earle, 25, her "dadager" TJ, sister Ashtin (also an influencer), and stepmother Ashley, moving between cities including Paris, Nashville and Coachella as work and family life intertwine. Storylines include sibling tension over career support and a skincare brand mishap, alongside Earle's process of moving on from her breakup with NFL player Braxton Berrios, with the finale hinting at a possible second season. The reviewer finds the family's conflicts too minor to be dramatic and too mundane to be aspirational, likening the viewing experience to "watching paint dry."
