This Has Got To Be the Most Tone-Deaf Moment on ‘The Baldwins’

Last week, the finale episode of The Baldwins aired on TLC, wrapping the show’s first (and almost certainly final) season. From start to finish, The Baldwins has felt like a fever dream; a dissonant depiction of marital discord and a manslaughter trial set to the tune of a sitcom about a happy family. The show has been heaped with criticism since it was initially announced, but my morbid curiosity won, and I spent the last two months of Sundays locked in. Alec and Hilaria Baldwin mistakenly believed they could use a reality television show to rehabilitate their public image, which has been marred by repeated controversy. How spectacularly wrong they were.
