Highly Overrated But Still Good

I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

This IS a show about reality and it is on television but this has never been done before, not like this. An unprecedented look into the broken system that needs fixing, more needs to be done to bring the horrible conditions prisoners face to light. This show makes you see that people who are incarcerated are people too and being locked up does nothing to help anyone or anything. We need more shows like this so we can open up a dialogue and make changes, not to exploit the prisoners but to better conditions.

The show's fake as can be number one I seen that Monalisa on something else before. Number two, that girl Tami on last season couldn't have been a cop because there's definitely something wrong with her that even medication couldn't even fix and there's no way she could get past the screening at a real police department. Also the other girl this season 2 is married to the guy that was in season 1, not to mention she's a drug addict and she claims to be recovered. Lol. Then you've got the crazy guy that sat in a solitarily cell last season. How the heck would anyone pick this guy to be on the show being that much of a lunatic. Yes, this show has definitely gotta be fake and not a very good one at that.

This show is truly despicable, as it does nothing but glorify a hateful "culture" and minimalizes the true horrors one faces in the system. It turns reality into shallow "gameshow", with no accountability. It claims to help the system by revealing the true nature of such an environment yet it is clear that no one involved is unaware of the cameras. To be objective and gain understanding what is observed must remain unaware of observation. A basic principal of science and morality. This show reinforces bad behavior and ultimately is the very representation of everything wrong with American society. If we ever hope to move forward in this world we must never allow shows like to survive; unscathed and without criticism. However I understand the nature of humanity is at the core stupid and repetitive there is little hope any change would be found, not even so far as to cancel this show. Which is the bare minimum that could be asked.

The show says it's supposed to help the prison system, i don't think that's true. just having the cameras there is enough to see what happens. this participants do not provide any unknown info.It' just a reality show to see how this 7 people handle being in prison, i hope they're getting paid well, because they are not helping the community as they were told they would.I would worry a former prison mate comes out and is angry enough to do something to the "snitch", probably notIt's entertaining, but not as it could be, the biggest problem is the prison they chose, it's too little, doesn't have enough people in it, therefore not too much happens.This would be fun if done in a Brazilian prison.
