The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives

I mean, they aren't Mormon. I know that doesn't make the show sound as catchy and won't attract as many people. It would be interesting to see a scandal of people in the church and how the church dealt with them but unfortunately that isn't what you get here. These women aren't only lot Mormon they never were, I can't find anything credible that says they were ever Mormon or a part of the church. But if you want to watch an Utah real housewives kind of show maybe you would like this. If you were expecting any of the people in this show to be Mormon you should know they are not Mormon. And if they were they would have been kicked out of the church long ago, but they're not and near as I can tell, never were.

Sorry I was super excited about this show the way that the previews made it looked. But it was actually pretty boring. And the fact that Jen Affleck has her full name every time she is on screen is beyond annoying! Who TF cares that's her last name?!?!? She even admitted that she has never even met her husband's second cousin, so quit ridding those coattails. I'm not going to lie I have a second cousin myself who is a celebrity but I don't go around bragging day and night about that. Even to the point we have spent holidays together as a family so I have that up on her, but even some of my closest friends don't know that he is my cousin. Sorry but I'm really disappointed by this show.

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.

The sad part of this show is that the accuracy that it portrays those under 30 is way too accurate. They are more concerned with being superficial and breaking what they consider are oppressive societal norms. If you were to look at the bulk of LDS women over the age of 30, they do not share these same values as these ladies do. All this was, was taking a group of spoiled twenty something year old moms that are completely fake and only care about themselves. It was just another version of real housewives, just set to the LDS religion. Hopefully most people who are watching this, will see that this is the case. And based off of most comments I'm seeing and reviews, this seems to be the case.
