Jacob Rees-Mogg Launches Reality TV Career with 'Meet the Rees-Moggs'

The former Conservative MP's Discovery+ series offers a glimpse into his aristocratic family life, sparking mixed reactions from viewers and locals.

Jacob Rees-Mogg's new Discovery+ series, 'Meet the Rees-Moggs,' explores his family's life in their 17th-century Somerset mansion and £5 million London townhouse.
The show highlights the Rees-Moggs' traditional upper-class lifestyle, including black-tie dinners, religious rituals, and a staff of housekeepers, a nanny, and a caretaker.
Critics have called the series toothless and superficial, with some questioning its portrayal of privilege and its ethical implications for the involvement of Rees-Mogg's young children.
Rees-Mogg, a polarizing figure known for his pro-Brexit stance and controversial views, lost his parliamentary seat earlier this year, which is documented in the series.
Local residents and former constituents have expressed skepticism about the show, citing dissatisfaction with Rees-Mogg's political career and perceived detachment from everyday life.
