Embargo por sorpresa

To say that Luis Pizarro doesn't have an inventive bone in his body barely begins to explain the failure of Operation Repo, a program well in a league with the worst shows currently on television. Filled with unrealistic scenarios, ultra-predictable, clichéd moments and extremely repetitive plot lines, this 'reenacted reality' show fails to deliver on all levels.

So basic is the format of this one-trick pony, that every episode can easily be summed in one sentence: Several large, non attractive people drive around looking for a vehicle to repossess and quickly enter into a conflict with an entirely non-believable caricature of a person or persons after which they drive away and repeat the same cycle.

Programs like this used to be confined to once-per-week, late night viewing, in timeslots which would ensure few people would ever tune in. It's a testament to how baseline television programming has become that this would air during the early evenings on any station.

Overall, if you are looking for a mindless, unfunny, thinly-believable show in which you might find Latin American repo-men freaking out at the sight of tinfoil swords possessed by a gang of medieval, role playing geeks, or in which taxi drivers - about to have their only source of income repossessed - suddenly start moonwalking backwards and singing the best of Michael Jackson (that's exactly what happens when people have their backs against the wall, right?), then watch this show. If you have a hard time believing that a group of uniformed, high school football jocks, in the middle of practice, would suddenly pull out handguns to protect their buddy's car, then you're probably too smart for this show.

Around the same time Court TV became TruTV, this show came about. If it's not broke don't fix it. My only guess is that if Court TV was a success they wouldn't have changed it. The name TruTV is a wink-and-nod that "true" stories don't matter anymore as much as entertainment. At the start of every episode, the viewers are informed that the events are inspired by real events with some names changes. IMDb has this show in the category of "Fictional Reality TV", a genre I hadn't known of before. Unlike regular sitcoms or dramas the expectations are different. It gets the lowest number possible because I don't enjoy these kind of reenactments.

They do so much that is illegal it has to be fake. Matt would be in Jail constantly for Assault and the fat girl also for Assault. The Fat girl tends to grab people around the throat and go into peoples pockets. That is Assault & attempted robbery. No one has a right to go into someones pockets. Only the police can if they are arresting you. If done to me I'd protect myself and she be in the hospital. I have never hit a woman but, she is no woman and when grabbed by the throat from behind, a persons normal reaction is to remove the threat. You would not consider it being a man or woman behind you just a life threatening threat. No one would be arrested for protecting themselves. She should be arrested on being hard on the eyes as well.

This show is so sad. I created an account here to write this review. Possibly this show is fake. If it is not: it is the most unprofessional horrible show ever. Both ways its bad. The guys here have to get cars from people who didn't pay. They do this at evenings when people go out. Or at night when someone is in the middle of nowhere, camping. Idk. So sad.

1 star out of 10 is generous. This show is so terrible that I challenge anyone to sit through a whole episode of this trash. The re-enacted scenes are poorly scripted (most likely just ad libbed) and possibly contain the worst actors (obviously unpaid) to ever get jobs in TV history.

To add drama, the scenarios played out are exaggerated to the point of stupidity.

If you are considering watching this show, you would be better off sitting in a dark room and gouging your eyes out with a broken rotted stick, while plugging your ears with power drills.
