Closure With The Kardashians
A blatant nostalgia play presented as an emotional reunion confirms that reality TV’s most famous family has outgrown their chosen medium.
But that influence wasn’t born of flashy fights or massive scandals so much as the more mundane, day-to-day moments and quirks that they shared with viewers: The way they shook their Health Nut salads, said “Bible” instead of “promise,” or explained how to hack into their boyfriend’s voice-mails were all intimate windows into their lives. It’s all broad strokes, formatted like a monthly photo dump where we swipe from one flashy highlight to the next: a big vacation, the behind-the-scenes of a magazine cover shoot, a birthday party, a visit to the White House and meeting Kamala Harris, the Met Gala, or, most recently, a headline-making reunion with an ex. It’s an attention-grabbing move that harkens back to the days of Sweeps Week, if that were a thing for streamers: The pair’s seven-year marriage, which was heavily featured on Keeping Up and their spinoff Khloé & Lamar, officially dissolved after Odom’s overdose at a brothel in 2015, and this episode marks their first meeting in nine years.
