Season 1 (Controversy)

The first season of REBELReloaded's fanfiction series, Controversy, first aired on May 29, 2017 in alignment with the premiere of The Savages. The show focuses on the upscale life in New York, as politics, scandals, and celebrity life take the toll of two patriarchies.
The first season's themes focus on a reference to the 2016 presidential elections, but the series focuses on Danica Kane's controversial reputation as a model as she is involved in an affair with Eli Buchanan, the son of presidential candidate James Buchanan. The series' themes focus on racism, libel, defamation, and infidelity in the celebrity life.
Brant Daugherty (Eli Buchanan), Vivica A. Fox (Marissa Kane), Gina Gershon (Kitty Monroe), Lance Gross (Marcus Ross), Ali Larter (Abby Cartwright), Teyonah Parris (Danica Kane), Michelle Pfeiffer (Helen Buchanan), John Schneider (James Buchanan), Blair Underwood (Walter Kane, Esq.), and Lynn Whitfield (Vivian DeVeaux) are the main cast of this season.
Controversy was renewed for a 10-episode second season after three episodes had premiered. Upon its premiere, the first season garnered mixed reviews from critics, who praised REBELReloaded's writing, the star billing, the acting, and its crossover appeal with The Savages. However, many were critical of the show's premise and its similarities to Scandal. Overtime, critics praised the series for its hooking episodes as the season progressed.
