It's enjoyable trash TV to watch when you want to laugh at the idiocy of humanity. Of course it's not great. That's the point. Enjoy the lunacy and relax.

.....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!

This show rules! Seriously so much mindless and perfect for "vegin" out. Need an instant pick me up about your love life, or lack there of. Look no further, this show will provide an instant pick me up: Or Do you need an idea as to where you could find love, and how glamorous it would be... this show is more self esteem boosting then hoarders, watch it!!!! These other people with 1's are haters

One of the best quality reality tv-show out there. Genuine people going through the hardships of life in a post-apocalyptic dystopia filled with trashy people, government officials and bratty kids. The lives of most of those people makes Dante's inferno feel like a trip to Disneyland.

I never watch reality tv, in fact I cant stand it. I watched an episode of this simply out of a morbid curiosity. I was reeled right in! Its brilliant tv. Granted they constantly repeat the same bits but that's pretty much all American tv. Edge of your seat stuff 80% of the time none the less

These couples are gross to watch. The inmates and their lovers all belong in prison. There is no difference between any of them. These are the trashiest people I have ever seen on any television show, including the prison lock-up shows. The bottom of the barrel. Television has finally hit rock bottom.

The only entertaining couple that I saw was the fat drunken guy with the buck teeth and his girlfriend Lizzie. She spent 10 years in prison for dealing drugs. Even though she is a pretty lady, she is a hard core criminal. Every time I see her truck driver boyfriend, I imagine if Bugs Bunny had become a fat old drunken bum. He just emotes a down on his luck Bugs Bunny.

This is an awful show. I saw a couple of episodes "On Demand" just to see what the end would be for Bugs Bunny and Lizzie. For the most part, I skipped the rest of the couples, as they are just truly the dregs of the earth. Most of these folks will be back in prison as they are all avoiding working, and are just on the streets to scam other people and to continue being criminals.

Wow. I have never seen so much crazy in one show. I loved every second of it.

Every time I've seen parts of the show, it seems like the same show over and over and over again. There is sooooo much repetition of scenes and dialogue. Seems A year's worth of it would last only 20 minutes if it weren't looped so much. Selling soap?

I started watching this because I really couldn't believe this happens on a normal occasion. That criminals are allowed internet access and they can have dating profiles and I was not aware of all this. Personally I think the women signed safety and dating a man behind bars because they're in a relationship and who knows if the guy will ever get out. It is my guilty pleasure and I love watching it I don't think any of the relationships have lasted. But I never thought they would even from the very first episode. I don't care I still love the show

This is a show about damaged people looking to other damaged people to fix them.

The show presents ike a car crash, it is voyeuristic, and you know how it's all going to end. The most compelling people are the family members: the Mums and the children who all have to stand by and watch as the relationships inevitably fail.

My wife works in this field for a very large family violence state agency. Bureau of Justice Statistics data:

92% of women murders by a domestic partner, domiciled relation, romantic partner or spouse, be it by knife, gun or beating, the murderer is a released felon despite released felons only being 1.7% of the US population. An attitudinal 4% of women murdered are murderer by an excon acquaintance of an ex con boyfriend, husband, domestic partner. Well 89% of US children murdered in the US are murdered by a released criminal domiciled in a home with children. Another 6% of children killed, be it usually negligent homicide, due to criminal activities of the criminal living in the home or dating the mother (EG a competing gang shooting up the home, someone attempting to rob a drug dealing criminal's home). Children living in homes with criminal domicile are also the large majority of sexual abuse victims, more than nine in ten accidental gun injury or death, etc.

People are so ridiculous on social media that I had to write a 2nd review We certainly cant blame our countries problems on a reality tv show thats just ridiculous Maybe people dont like what they see on the show but this is whats happening in millions of lives People are struggling in life I guess as long as people dont see it we can act like its not happening That must make it better for them But its not societys job or the producers job to uphold sheltered point of views I love how the makers of this show has swiftly lifted the skirt on life like a 2nd grade school boy The stuff on this show is happening people are broke or confused and lied to and manipulated and suffer for all sorts of reasons. Whether we see it or not Its happening I guess I should go over the point of reality tv is for people to watch other peoples lives and for brief moments in time take us away from our own lives and problems Nobody is saying reality tv is suppose to uphold some sort morality quota for the country Its raw entertainment We get to watch lives unfolding bad decision making and let downs as well as uplifting scenarios and goal meeting. Either way people love to see inside other peoples lives for whatever reason Im a professed reality tv junky through and through From conceited socialites to competitions to survival This show is just outside that box Which I love It shows everyday people and their true feelings It opens up a new era of tv just like when the real world came out people didnt get it They loved it or hated it Thought it was stupid or fantastic Either way it had opened up a new genre that people couldnt help but to watch This show is in that realm For years theres been a need for a show that shows real life struggles and pain and what everyday people get faced with Struggles outside of having to sit in coach while flying to Europe or missing a botox appointment because the maid forgot to let the dog out I think you get the point To the producers of the show I hope you make more spin offs and there's many more years to come LOCKUPLIFER LALUlover

We have so so so many shows on the Uber rich and their simplistic lives. Traveling the world and arguing over who said what during these worldly trips jus to ruin it for themselves. Most people cant even identify with that lifestyle. But a show like this with real life struggles and true confusion of not knowing what comes next is something everyday people can understand. I MEAN anybody of any age financial/social status can find themselves in this situation with a loved one. And let's be honest at the least most people has that one uncle or aunt or cousin thats in the system. If you enjoy the guilty pleasures of reality tv?Then this show will deliver you to all those wonderful shocking wow places thats so addicting. Almost all of my friends watch this show religiously. Any true reality lover loves this show.If you don't love the reality drama And shock then of course you won't like this. And will most likely have nothing good to say about it. So its best to jus not watch and leave the ratings to us LOCKUP LOVERS.

Gee, nothing is sacred anymore. I mean, people are meeting up and are getting engaged to up ex convicts. Damn. I'm 21, and I can't even get a job. This show is annoying evertime I see it as preview when watching reruns of Law & Order: Criminal Intent, and the original Law & Order.

My Condolences to the Family of Asatona may God give you strength and comfort during this journey, will be praying for your family. My Condolences to Ranika also, I know this hit you hard on September 2 after awaiting to spend your life with him. Lean on God more than ever🙏🏼🙏🏼. I don't know how I would feel if I were in your shoes, but I do understand hurt and loss of a loved one. Prayer is what you need at this time and lean on God more than ever and I promise he don't mind, so right now you need lots of love from your family and when the phones stop ringing and the doorbell goes silent God is there 24/7 thats your best friend right now 🙏🏼☝🏽🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

This is the lowest common denominator of classless people. Most of these bums wind up back in jail.

First let me say that I've only seen the previews of this program, so I can't give a play by play of every episode. That being said, the very idea that the American people are in some way served by this rolling train wreck of a show is the reason we are in the shape we're in as a country. I wouldn't want to watch a bunch of criminals and their love lives. It can't be that much of an improvement to what they had in prison and I sure don't want to see that either. 400+ cable channels and this is the lowest common denominator without a doubt. Cheap to produce because they don't have to pay actors, writers, etc., and it shows. To the producers: Ger a real job, there's no Emmy award for you with this schlock! What's next? Snuff films? This is one half a degree above that.

I don't understand what passes as entertainment anymore, but this show is ridiculous!!! It's the bottom of the barrel. It really doesn't belong on T+E with their style of programming. Just awful!!!

'All my hopes an dreams are shattering" give me a break! Right in front of her 4 year old daughter who had never,ever met him. And expected to call him 'daddy' or 'mommy'. You are messing up their minds because you don't care. It's all about YOU. Are you that desperate? You don't know anything about the prisoner. Of course they would tell you anything you want to hear? Where is their family? They know! They aren't there but you are, aren't you? You are stupid and look at the odds. Maybe they are better off without your and their wild kinks and odd behaviour? Thought about that? NO! Must they keep paying for freedom with your wild and disgusting behavior? All of you are embarrassing yourselves over what? Five minutes of fame on tv time and having to perform ungodly acts. This show is disgusting! Disgusting, embarrassing,looking for love vice-versa in the wrong places. Their are so many people who are good and honest and you spend time on camera voicing and showing your real self. Disgusting!
