The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives

Hulu is once again glorifying garbage human beings who are living in a way that is completely bringing down our society. The content is baseless and the strange opening scene tries to elevate the look of people who have broken their families and ruined their children's lives. I don't want to see this type of ennobling and backwards perspectives on people who shouldn't even have a show. Everything in this "reality" show is through a warped looking glass from people living in a bubble of their own making and then acting as if someone put them there against their will. This show and others like it are a cancer. Cancel Hulu. I am.

I finished the whole season, just so I could give an honest opinion, but my feelings about this group of women are the same as when I used to see them on TikTok. Why are they even relevant? It's not entertaining, their relationship is uncomfortable to watch at best, and extremely toxic at its worst. Their constant back-stabbing is petty and reminds me of being in middle school. I have met several "Mormons" in my life, and the ones who live like most of these women do don't claim to be part of the religion any longer. Why pretend to be part of something you obviously don't agree with? No one is forcing you to call yourself a "Mormon", so the only obvious answer is that they are doing it for the shock factor and so they can make money while also making a mockery out of a religion that so many hold sacred. It's just distasteful.

Why would I watch a show about random women?

It wasn't about their Mormon lives. It wasn't even about TikTok. I didn't know anything about them before watching, and I'm not Mormon by any means, so I'm not going to criticize their choices or whatever.

But it was so boring.

Would it be interesting to get a glimpse into the lives of Mormon women? Yes, probably. Instead, all I'm getting is a group of women having endless conversations about who's the bitch and why men often suck. I could've watched literally any other reality show.

The show tries so hard to be entertaining but fails miserably. What was that with the farm? I don't buy it. It feels like the only reason she's there is to avoid showing more footage of her just staying home with her family.

Oh, and Mayci dear, congratulations on making Gryffindor. Your father and I are so proud. (Mayci is so pretty.)

I appreciated seeing some people question their religion and be honest about some of the challenges it brings.

It's great to see large groups of girls being there for each other, but Whitney needs to be kicked. She's toxic, a prick, and has no self insight. She ruins and overshadows some of the positive things you could have benefited from experiencing and seeing in a large group of people.

A general insight into the life of a social media mormon character. I learned things i didn't know and even had to google some of the laws they try to live by.

They also have the girls' parents in some scenes and here it really becomes apparent how the younger generation is trying to adapt the faith to a more understanding and modern time.

I mean, they aren't Mormon. I know that doesn't make the show sound as catchy and won't attract as many people. It would be interesting to see a scandal of people in the church and how the church dealt with them but unfortunately that isn't what you get here. These women aren't only lot Mormon they never were, I can't find anything credible that says they were ever Mormon or a part of the church. But if you want to watch an Utah real housewives kind of show maybe you would like this. If you were expecting any of the people in this show to be Mormon you should know they are not Mormon. And if they were they would have been kicked out of the church long ago, but they're not and near as I can tell, never were.
