First up: Thomas Ravenel is still on his “I’ve changed” apology tour that absolutely no one asked for. He reminds us — repeatedly — that he used to be State Treasurer, as if that cancels out… everything else. He’s now fully locked in on 21-year-old Kathryn Dennis, and their chemistry is less “fairytale romance” and more “HR violation waiting to happen.” The age gap is loud. The red flags are louder. But Kathryn? She is not blinking.

Meanwhile, Whitney Sudler-Smith is spiraling because he thought he was casting a show about refined Southern aristocracy and instead accidentally unleashed Thomas flirting in real time. The tension between Whitney and Thomas feels like two men fighting over who gets to be the main character of Charleston.

Enter Cameran Eubanks, our patron saint of side-eye, who delivers commentary like she’s watching a nature documentary called When Polo Shirts Attack. She’s clocking the mess but staying just far enough away to avoid splash damage.

And let’s not forget Jenna King, living in full mystery-woman mode with her couture wardrobe and “don’t ask where the money comes from” lifestyle. The other cast members are politely judging her while pretending they’re not.

Overall, this episode doubles down on the thesis of Season 1: fragile egos, generational wealth, political scandal, and one very determined 21-year-old walking straight into chaos like it’s a cotillion.

The charm? Questionable. The cringe? Thriving. And we are just getting started.

Season 3 of Pure Cringe is here!

Welcome to Charleston, South Carolina — where the bowties are tight, the mint juleps are strong, and emotional maturity is strictly optional. In this debut episode, we meet a gang of Southern socialites who are allergic to responsibility and mysteriously employed in vibes only careers.

Thomas Ravenel, a former politician with more scandals than shirts, decides he's ready for love... or at least a girlfriend young enough to Google him. Meanwhile, Shep, the human frat party, continues his quest to never grow up, and Craig is here to remind us that you can go to law school and still somehow never practice law.

Cameran plays the role of the charming narrator/fake voice of reason while trying to make real estate seem like the show’s actual plot. And Whitney lurks in the background like a hipster Bond villain with a camera crew.

Old money, new drama, and plenty of seersucker — welcome to Charleston, where the tea is sweet, but the shade is sweeter.
