The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives

Women who don't actually seem to care about their religion, but instead wanted a shot to be real housewives.

Shallow, foul human beings.

Sensationalized and misleading portrayal of LDS women. Instead of offering an authentic look at their lives, it focuses on rare, fringe situations that distort reality for shock value. The show lacks nuance, perpetuates harmful stereotypes, and does a disservice to viewers looking for genuine insight. Rather than fostering understanding, it exploits its subjects for entertainment. If you're looking for a thoughtful exploration of Mormon culture, this is not the place to find it.

I watched both seasons of this show and initially liked their "motto" of being supportive to each other, but I've never seen friends, let alone enemies, treat each other the way these girls treat one another. They are catty, bitchy, speak behind each others backs and are completely fake and rude to one another. I've never left a review on social media in my entire life, but I will not watch another season of this because I think it represents females in a false way. I have never, and would never treat my friends the way these girls treat one another and I hope that people do not use this show as a role model of what female friends are like in general or how typical females act, it is so far from how any females I know behave. Perhaps it's hyped up to be good drama for tv. I'd give the show one star out of ten.

Why would I watch a show about random women?

It wasn't about their Mormon lives. It wasn't even about TikTok. I didn't know anything about them before watching, and I'm not Mormon by any means, so I'm not going to criticize their choices or whatever.

But it was so boring.

Would it be interesting to get a glimpse into the lives of Mormon women? Yes, probably. Instead, all I'm getting is a group of women having endless conversations about who's the bitch and why men often suck. I could've watched literally any other reality show.

The show tries so hard to be entertaining but fails miserably. What was that with the farm? I don't buy it. It feels like the only reason she's there is to avoid showing more footage of her just staying home with her family.

Oh, and Mayci dear, congratulations on making Gryffindor. Your father and I are so proud. (Mayci is so pretty.)

I appreciated seeing some people question their religion and be honest about some of the challenges it brings.

It's great to see large groups of girls being there for each other, but Whitney needs to be kicked. She's toxic, a prick, and has no self insight. She ruins and overshadows some of the positive things you could have benefited from experiencing and seeing in a large group of people.

A general insight into the life of a social media mormon character. I learned things i didn't know and even had to google some of the laws they try to live by.

They also have the girls' parents in some scenes and here it really becomes apparent how the younger generation is trying to adapt the faith to a more understanding and modern time.

I finished the whole season, just so I could give an honest opinion, but my feelings about this group of women are the same as when I used to see them on TikTok. Why are they even relevant? It's not entertaining, their relationship is uncomfortable to watch at best, and extremely toxic at its worst. Their constant back-stabbing is petty and reminds me of being in middle school. I have met several "Mormons" in my life, and the ones who live like most of these women do don't claim to be part of the religion any longer. Why pretend to be part of something you obviously don't agree with? No one is forcing you to call yourself a "Mormon", so the only obvious answer is that they are doing it for the shock factor and so they can make money while also making a mockery out of a religion that so many hold sacred. It's just distasteful.
