Operation Repo - La gang dell'auto

1 star out of 10 is generous. This show is so terrible that I challenge anyone to sit through a whole episode of this trash. The re-enacted scenes are poorly scripted (most likely just ad libbed) and possibly contain the worst actors (obviously unpaid) to ever get jobs in TV history.

To add drama, the scenarios played out are exaggerated to the point of stupidity.

If you are considering watching this show, you would be better off sitting in a dark room and gouging your eyes out with a broken rotted stick, while plugging your ears with power drills.

This show is the same show you will watch when you see any of the other truTV (a more ironic name there has yet to be) shows, such as Southern Fried Stings, All Worked Up and Hardcore Pawn.

Right from the start, a sort of fabricated atmosphere clings it's self to the program that can not be shaken. There are never any situations involving a hint of normalcy, to the point where in order to believe it one would have to assume that the city of Los Angeles has one repo agency of about four or five people doing hundreds--if not thousands--of repossessions within the span of a week. Either that, or normal people simply do not exist in LA (and as a New Yorker, I know this just opens up for all sorts of rimshot-worthy cracks).

But even if it were not fake--which the show tries to excuse by claiming they are "re-enactments"--this would qualify as the worst-run business on planet Earth. It's simply unreal to see Luis seriously try to run a business where many of the employees are not just antagonistic, but downright combative with the people they are supposedly repossessing from. Which I figure is about the same as zoo keepers smacking bears with sticks for yucks.

But it is fake. And fake or real, it's part of a disturbing trend in reality TV; focusing on the misery and desperation of others for the sake of entertainment. And in a time in our nation's history when so many are getting foreclosed on and having property repossessed by predatory loan companies, this sort of thing is not just insensitive, it's cruel. truTV is cruel for making it, and whoever has been watching it for the past eight or so seasons is even worse. Congratulations; I hope the bottom of that barrel is comfortable.

How ironic. Some people like reality TV shows so now someone decides to make another show that pretends to be reality TV but in fact is totally FAKE and scripted/acted.

Basically, this would be an interesting show depicting some very strange and over the top scenes if it was truly real. The producers of the show have gone to great lengths to try and depict it as real life drama but of course it is all fake. Many of the concocted "repo" scenes are nothing short of totally ridiculous and are indicative of the lack of creativity of the writers and producers. All the "repo" scenes are scripted with actors in all parts. But of course the acting is dreadful as you might expect in a show like this. Watch a few episodes and you will see just how bad the acting is as well as recognizing that the characters are only performing a script.

Essentially the series is a waste of time. Why bother to watch third rate amateur class acting and amateur C grade scripts for a show that "pretends" to be reality. It's a performance and not a believable one at that.

They do so much that is illegal it has to be fake. Matt would be in Jail constantly for Assault and the fat girl also for Assault. The Fat girl tends to grab people around the throat and go into peoples pockets. That is Assault & attempted robbery. No one has a right to go into someones pockets. Only the police can if they are arresting you. If done to me I'd protect myself and she be in the hospital. I have never hit a woman but, she is no woman and when grabbed by the throat from behind, a persons normal reaction is to remove the threat. You would not consider it being a man or woman behind you just a life threatening threat. No one would be arrested for protecting themselves. She should be arrested on being hard on the eyes as well.

This show is so sad. I created an account here to write this review. Possibly this show is fake. If it is not: it is the most unprofessional horrible show ever. Both ways its bad. The guys here have to get cars from people who didn't pay. They do this at evenings when people go out. Or at night when someone is in the middle of nowhere, camping. Idk. So sad.
