Mob Wives Season 3 Episode 3 Threats and Thongs Preview Mob Wives is a docu-soap that follows the lives of
four struggling, "allegedly" associated women who have to pick up the
pieces and carry on after their husbands or fathers do time for
Mob-related activities. The women are long time friends who live in New
York City's "forgotten borough", Staten
Island. Along the way they battle their friends, families and each other
as they try to do what's best for themselves and their children. It's
not easy to maintain the lifestyle they were accustomed to when the
family's primary bread winner is in lock up. From The Godfather to The
Sopranos to My Cousin Vinny, these women are sick and tired of the lies
and stereotypes that exist about their lives. They're determined to
finally set the record straight and show the world once and for all that
while their lives may seem crazy at first glance, they love, laugh and
get their hearts broken just like everyone else
Italians have been targeted as the new money maker in television, from Jersey Shore to Cake Boss. Italians have been exploited and profited in the way of reality shows. So, it isn't surprising that a show chronically the lives of women who are affiliated with the Italian mob was showcased.
One of the main issues I have with the show is the concept..Now, I'm not an expert on mobs but I do know you're not suppose to publicly associated yourself with the mob. Doing so will result you "swimming with the fishes". With that said, I'm very surprised that this show was even picked up.
The show itself, is about four or five women who have family members that are involved with the mob. These women have a very tough and off putting exterior. It can be assumed that these women have some type of mental disorder and that they need to seek professional help. But instead of that, they go on national television and air their dirty laundry for all to see. The show does not have a plot, it pretty much resolves around when their husbands are being released from prison and the old family drama.
