As an after show following the usual excesses of “The Bachelorette” (ABC, 8 p.m.), a second season of “UnReal” (Lifetime, 10 p.m.) is certainly preferable to the short-lived network after show “The Bachelor Live.”
But the fictional drama about the behind the scenes of an almost exact kind of dating show, called “Everlasting,” is so darkly cynical as to be toxic. There’s hardly a sympathetic character to be found in the show in which Constance Zimmer and Shiri Appleby stir up fake drama on a terrible dating show in order to chase ratings. This season they do something “The Bachelor” never has, choosing a black suitor, which leads to caustic treatment of race as well. The fast-paced insults never make up for the nearly poisonous tone, though, and “UnReal” is a series as hard to binge as arsenic.
