Operación Repo

This show is awesome and I can't believe it's a Spanish show. I need to watch their lip movements with their words on-scene more closely. I never heard of this show before the marathon TruTv courtv ran of it last night and I was hooked. I was laughing and on the edge of my seat and really enjoying the show. I have a newfound respect for repo guys. Wow. I love the personalities of everyone on the show - especially Matt.

I have a little crush on Matt. Matt is tough, and one look at him on my doorstep I'd hand over the keys shaking. But then he opens his mouth and you can't help but LOVE him. When he was scared of guard dogs (you guys better get out of the way - to the camera crew - because if a dog comes up behind this gate, I'm running over you guys), hates people who hit women and children, thinks people that have guns are cowards. And he even admitted to losing fights before, so that makes winning them a great high for him. And this dude is single? My gosh. He's tough on the outside, but a gentle teddy bear on the inside. (well, I'm sure Sonia would disagree)

I hope this show comes to America and production continues on this show. I'd like to get the mailing address for Matt(if he is still with the repo company - the boss told his sister to do what she has to do to get rid of him. NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

I hope the movie is just as good as the TV show, however casting Joey Buttafucco is just as bad as hiring Meredith Baxter Birney - straight to Liftime TV for women. Except since this show is kind of tough, it'd land on SpikeTV or something. Buttafucco is a dog. He deserves no Hollywood pay!

But I'll see the movie if MATT is in it!

JUST FOUND OUT FROM LOU HIMSELF THAT SHOW IS A HOAX, NOT REALITY, NOT REAL. IT'S JUST A BUNCH OF ACTORS RE-ENACTING PREVIOUS REPOS. THEY SHOULD RECATEGORIZE THIS SHOW AS A SATIRE, NOT A REALITY SHOW. IT'S NOT REAL.

I can't rate this more than "3" because its not real. Its "based on" some "events" that have happened in the repo business at some time in the past. The show itself is scripted, it is staged. It makes you wonder if the producers are trying to make a "docudrama" or fake reality TV or a combination of both.

On the plus side, the episodes feature a lot of action (although its staged). I saw two separate segments that featured baseball-bat wielding actors plus one with staged "gunfire", all in ONE episode. Due to all this fast action and due to very lively repo agents, most viewers will find this show to be entertaining "cheap thrill" television. The fast action is also why my rating would be higher than "3" if not so staged and slick-looking.

The first scripted, re-created police-style show I ever saw was the old "Dragnet" series "from the Los Angeles Police files" way back in the 1960's, so this show is nothing new or ground-breaking.

This review covers the English language version broadcast on TRU TV only, I haven't had the opportunity to see the Spanish version, which I hope is more "raw" and less slick.
