The audience thinks the show’s ‘dumb’

With new shows, someone somewhere always likes it. But, a large number of people on social media didn’t take to this one. As one skeptic pointed out, “I guess I missed something. They had 3 children together before they got married??” But others noted one was hers and two were his, or something. Still, breaking up a family over the way you look sounds “dumb,” others thought.  Others felt the entire thing looked artificially over-emotional.

One critic of  Happily Ever Altered noted that they felt it “so fake.” In fact, they felt “mad” they wasted their time watching it adding, “Not for me.” Another person commented, “Either this whole show is staged and …scripted drama or they really found a sad couple smh.” Not everyone even finished watching the episode. This person wrote: “This is the dumbest sh-t!! No I didn’t watch the entire episode.” Meanwhile, some people glimpsed the potential outcome for the couple. One said, “I hope I’m wrong, but I don’t see them staying together long, Sis got her some new t–ties and a waist line, she enjoying the attention.”

While some fans liked that so far, the couple stayed together, not many of them found it engaging. In fact, some of them hope at least one couple fails and splits, for some entertainment value. What did you think of Happily Ever Altered? Sound off in the comments below.
