Love After Lockup

Every time I've seen parts of the show, it seems like the same show over and over and over again. There is sooooo much repetition of scenes and dialogue. Seems A year's worth of it would last only 20 minutes if it weren't looped so much. Selling soap?

I never watch reality tv, in fact I cant stand it. I watched an episode of this simply out of a morbid curiosity. I was reeled right in! Its brilliant tv. Granted they constantly repeat the same bits but that's pretty much all American tv. Edge of your seat stuff 80% of the time none the less

My wife works in this field for a very large family violence state agency. Bureau of Justice Statistics data:

92% of women murders by a domestic partner, domiciled relation, romantic partner or spouse, be it by knife, gun or beating, the murderer is a released felon despite released felons only being 1.7% of the US population. An attitudinal 4% of women murdered are murderer by an excon acquaintance of an ex con boyfriend, husband, domestic partner. Well 89% of US children murdered in the US are murdered by a released criminal domiciled in a home with children. Another 6% of children killed, be it usually negligent homicide, due to criminal activities of the criminal living in the home or dating the mother (EG a competing gang shooting up the home, someone attempting to rob a drug dealing criminal's home). Children living in homes with criminal domicile are also the large majority of sexual abuse victims, more than nine in ten accidental gun injury or death, etc.

One of the best quality reality tv-show out there. Genuine people going through the hardships of life in a post-apocalyptic dystopia filled with trashy people, government officials and bratty kids. The lives of most of those people makes Dante's inferno feel like a trip to Disneyland.

These couples are gross to watch. The inmates and their lovers all belong in prison. There is no difference between any of them. These are the trashiest people I have ever seen on any television show, including the prison lock-up shows. The bottom of the barrel. Television has finally hit rock bottom.

The only entertaining couple that I saw was the fat drunken guy with the buck teeth and his girlfriend Lizzie. She spent 10 years in prison for dealing drugs. Even though she is a pretty lady, she is a hard core criminal. Every time I see her truck driver boyfriend, I imagine if Bugs Bunny had become a fat old drunken bum. He just emotes a down on his luck Bugs Bunny.

This is an awful show. I saw a couple of episodes "On Demand" just to see what the end would be for Bugs Bunny and Lizzie. For the most part, I skipped the rest of the couples, as they are just truly the dregs of the earth. Most of these folks will be back in prison as they are all avoiding working, and are just on the streets to scam other people and to continue being criminals.
