Desastre Total: Mães Detetives

We didn't want to do reality TV, but....

This was painful; honestly, this is one of the most awful things I've seen in quite a while. I watched it out of curiosity. I'll put it out there that I detest reality TV, especially bilge like the Kardashians.

All I saw in sorry was egotists, one after the other, the kind of people that talk at you and have only their own selfish interests at heart. Am I just a grumpy old Brit? Would anyone genuinely want to watch a show called PI Moms? I should imagine that trying to tickle the belly of an oceanic whitetip would be a more pleasurable experience.

Undercover Carl? Was he quite as bashful and dumb as he made out to be? I think he seemed to be the smartest one of the lot. Regarding the missing girl, nobody was interested in her; they were more concerned about their careers and the fact that Carl, who had actually made something of a career for himself, found her. Come on, what the actual?

1/10.

A bunch of fame seeking troglodytes. People in this show are what's wrong with this world. What a pile of utter rubbish. All these so called PI moms looking for a missing girl to "save the show" without giving a hoot about the wellbeing of the girl they looked for just sums up the absolutely horrible and vile human beings they are. The whole show is a few idiots screwing each other over and trying to make a quick buck out of other people's misery.

I did really enjoy all of the other train wrecks but this just demonstrated that the producers were clutching at straws by taking this on. The storyline and the characters are horrendous.

Honestly just not interesting. Found my attention wandering and it did nothing to keep me engaged. Just a story about a drug bust and not up to the usual standard of the trainwreck series. There has been a lot of failed reality tv shows so I'm not sure why this was targeted to make a show out of.

Don't waste your time. I hope they either stop making trainwreck shows, or go back to the drawing board because the originals (Woodstock etc) were just a completely different class to this. It seems the producers are just making shows for the hell of it now. We're staring down the barrel of 'Trainwreck: Trainwreck'

Overall, I like the "Trainwreck" concept. The Woodstock 99 episode was particularly enlightening, as I remember when it happened. The show served to add dimensions to a complex story and the personalities involved.

PI Moms is a different animal entirely. While I'm not a fan of reality TV generally, I do think they could've made PI Moms a bit more engaging. There's an inherent contradiction between the actual messy work of crime-solving and the contrived antics of reality stars, something which the show could've explored. How did the PIs plan to reconcile their stated goals with the results of a successful show, namely that they'd lose their privacy and ability to do actual investigations? Doesn't a successful PI have to have a certain amount of anonymity?

This guy Carl comes off as an opportunist, but frankly, everyone in this show does, so it's not really a critique. Moreover, if caught up inadvertently in drug dealing, most rational people would cooperate with the police as he did.

As a show, PI Moms is very disjointed and misses the opportunity to tell a compelling story. Netflix will want to step it up for the Trainwreck series to continue.

They seemed to have really tried to stretch a story that is not a trainwreck into something....that is not a trainwreck. Too much effort using real people in re-creation scenes about a story that is soooo boring. There is no real arc nor explanation as to what the actual trainwreck is and when the story is explained, completely disjointed.
