Love After Lockup: New Warden in Town (2018)
A whole bunch of cray-cray on this one.....a MUST see!
I just discovered this show so I'm playing catch-up and these lunatics are WELL. WORTH a rainy day binge.
The actions of SOME of the female released cons have cured any little "pangs of guilt " I may have had about keeping the $30 that fell out of my husband's jeans into the washer.....I' m sure these guys would gladly have given up $30 instead of the thousands these gold diggers managed to get out of them.
I should note here that definitely not all of the released inmates are using their partners for money,. In fact, in the majority of couples depicted in the show, the spouse/partner that was home "waiting" for the other to be released has far more mental issues and instabilities then the excon.....we're talking "koo-koo for Cocoa Puffs" here.....big time.
I spent the majority of the show being pissed off at one person until another came along to take it's place.....suffice to say this is going to be a bumpy,bumpy ride but gadly, there are 2 seasons on DVR and a new season in production....plenty of chances to rip my own hair out in aggravtion.
Prepare to be disgusted but not surprised by Lizzie, a released inmate trying to convince the world that she really does love the now bankrupt Scott,....despite her proud claims of making over $80k from other "tricks" while in prison. Prepare for more disgust regarding Andrea, a mormon of convenience ( there is a nice little temper tantrum with her refusing to walk down the isle because the shoes she wanted didn't arrive in time. 3 grand for a pair of butt ugly shoes that didn't even have red soles!!!)
That whole business about Mormons not being "flashy and blingy" was far too inconvenient for Andrea in this matter so as usual, she chose to ignore it. After waiting 3 years for him to finish his prison sentence, Andrea has chosen to "control" her relationship with Lamar by means of schemes and lying....she's the perfect example of the con being the "sane" one in the relationship and her selfishness, "holier-then-though" attitude and total hypocracy make me dislike her more and more every time the camera features her. Her only redeeming quality that I can see is that she gave birth to 3 of the loveliest, smartest kids I have ever had the privilege to observe. In this case, I honestly thank God for making sure the apples fell very, very far away from this particular tree.
If you like your reality TV with a side of side of trash, this show is most definitely for you. Top it off with whipped cream and CRAZY and this show has guilty pleasure written all over it.
Enjoy!

Step aside, Honey BooBoo.....the REAL trash is here!
.....and there's no topping the lunatics on this show!
My new guilty pleasure.
If these people don't make you feel that your problems "could be worse", I'll say a prayer for you.
Aside from Brittany ( keep up the GREAT work, girl) and Andrea's amazing kids, the cast of this show have very little ( if any) redeeming qualities. A small amount of exceptions can be made for Sarah and Mike because of their age, but both ex-cons and their spouses are hot messes on this show and in more then one case, the spouse who didn't do prison time is by far the crazier of the two.
Andrea wins the prize for the most hypocritical, materialistic schemer and is need of some serious mental help. Unfortunately, she's giving Mormons a bad name so it's worth mentioning that all Mormons ( probably none of them) behave this way and surely don't condone her selfish actions. Hopefully, any proceeds she receives from the show will be spent on a good phsychiatrist and it wouldn't be a bad idea for her to take Lizzie, the token crack head with her......this one, you have to see to believe and how she sleeps at night is beyond me.
If you like your reality tv with a side of trash, this show is definitely for you. The constant bickering does become a little nerve wracking at times, but a little " better them then me" attitude puts the nerves at ease while you wait for the next spouses "brilliant idea" to blow up miserably in their face.
Because so many of their problems started with drug addiction, I feel that Brittany deserves another mention for not only managing to remain clean and stay out of jail, she's also the only one in the whole cast (aside from the long suffering mom's) with any class and her sobriety only makes this red headed beauty even more beautiful....the other female cast members would be smart to follow her lead as far as communicating with others and handling her own temper.
I suppose being in a jail relationship for years at a time wreaks havoc on a person's "loneliness scale", but watching these bird brains salivate over their "so called dream wedding" and basically shoving it down their fiance's throats in their attempts to get married immediatly brings out a whole new brand of cray cray.....especially when the viewer shares the opinions of most of the parents and just KNOW they'll be headed for divorce court in less then 2 years.
You're in for a treat when you meet these people so expect to add another "must see" show to your list....they have yet to fail at making me wince, laugh and throw random snacks at the TV. I won't spoil anything for you but I will say that the Kharma Gods are going to be very,very busy with these people....especially Andrea and Lizzie.
Enjoy!
