Cartel Crew

I find it imperative that individuals share the truth of what is growing up without a parent due to crime and drugs. You cannot blame children for the actions of his or her parents but we as a society can learn and grow. People still glorify the movies, "Scarface, The Godfather I, II, and III, Goodfellas, and Casino; but you condemn the documentary of people sharing their trials and tribulations.

Who came up with this concept? When did reality TV get even trashier? Just from the ads, you can tell it's bad.

I just love this show so much.

It is so real, raw and honest.

Thank you VH1 for bringing good TV shows!

I can't say much good about this. The supposed premise is the main characters grew up in families that were connected to various drug cartels. In reality, only one of the characters has an established link to actual cartels. In places like the Bronx, just about anyone there knows someone dealing drugs and the drugs do originate from organized crime - so it's pretty easy for anyone to claim they are linked to the cartel - and the links in this show are just about that tenuous. So what we have here is a bunch of young people trying to make a name for themselves and get famous but they don't really have a lot going for them. Mostly they are just ordinary people you'd encounter in fringe/hood areas without any special designation. The whole cartel thing is mostly a crock and it's not really cool how it gets weirdly glorified in this show by what seem like posers.

This shouldn't be. I shudder to think of the kind of vapid soulless monster who came up with the concept for this abomination.
