Mob Wives

I used to absolutely love this show, looked forward to watching it not only every week but every season. It was so entertaining. Love, love, love the dynamic between Drita and Big Ang! It's so funny and feels so sincere! But these new girls in season 5 have totally ruined it! I didn't like Natalie very much last season but it was tolerable. But now, not only does is feel so fake and so scripted but Nat D (the other Philly Natalie) may just be the WORST actress ever!!!!! I have never been so disappointed with this show. I find myself rolling my eyes more than anything else. Totally over the Philly girls! Get back to what the show was originally about, Mob Wives and cut out Philly the trash! That being said, so nice to have Karen back on with a few Carla sightings. Need a lot more of the New York girls!

First and last of its kind. The OG reality shows weren't formulaic - they were more realistic and involved real people, can't get much more real than this . It's a mistake to dismiss this . If you watch reality shows you can see this doesn't follow the formula in the earliest seasons because it didn't exist / the producers attempted to inject people to stir things up much later on and it didn't work at all , because the cast wasn't prescreened for pathology the way people are now. You can't unsees the og's These women and their families were still reeling and dealing with the fallout of and their lifestyles, and the world that they were bring into. You won't find anything like this out there ( with one exception) I am betting that If you are a fan of reality shows you will in immediately find this different than what your used to because a lot was worked out here with how to proceed for shows like this in the future -for example you find that the producers become desperate ( because they were healing like the real people they are ) so they stir up trouble with new characters but it backfires and sputters . It's a must watch that will not be appreciated for years to come ,

Of all the reality shows these woman are as real the deal as you will get . Sure at some point the producers got stupid and greedy and pushed it into directions that no one was comfortable with, but it basically began and ended well and while the material it covered was made light of it was some heave duty sh"t - old school subject matter and the fallout - it was serious. I have tried other reality shows , they all seem pointless after this . Had this been done documentary style it may have gone over better. But it was what is was.

I have accidentally seen stupid shows but this must be the stupidest of them all! First of all, this show is an embarrassment to my Italian heritage. My old school Italian parents were not getto, they were hard working people that gave us the world to become good people in this nasty society. On the contrary, shows like this make us look we all came from "MAFIA". Wake up America this happened in the AL Capone days and it just wasn't only Italians, it was Irish, Greeks, Germans every European that came to this land. It was a way of survival. This show doesn't even have a point. All I saw was a bunch of pathetic, ugly, old, raggedy wanna be mob wives that have no class. They don't know how to talk, how to communicate, how to act. All they do is scream, yell, swear, bark and pull each others hair. You call this entertainment? I call this boring. YAWN YAWN YAWN. SORRY but this show is not my cup of tea!

Overall, I liked this show. The first three seasons were binge-worthy and then the other seasons progressively got lamer from there. Now, I am watching the final season (The Final Stand) just to see the road Big Ang took with her cancer diagnosis. As for the last couple of seasons just being so lame, I think it's because once their lives became famous and they all had their new businesses and comforts in life that they just lost the essence of who they were and why we, as viewers, fell in love with them in the first place. I gave the show an overall rating of 7/10. I wish we could review each specific season because I would have a different rating for each one.
