To use some Southie Vernacular, I would just book it ("run as fast as you can") from this wicked ("very") mediocre show which appears destined for the TV barrel ("trashcan"). Read full review

There are some lovely shots of South Boston. Like everything else here, they've been staged. Read full review

There are aspects of Southie Rules that are fun, but ultimately it feels as hollow as an emptied tin of meatballs. Read full review

Southie Rules definitely has the characters. That's the positive news.... [But] Southie Rules is woefully short on story line, and so the producers have clearly set up situations and edited episodes in order to provide viewers with a narrative. Read full review

I thought the show was hilarious. Yes, it was obviously scripted or set up in parts, not pure "reality" but so what? It was funny! I don't think the family was "acting", at least not as much as the yuppies or other people who appeared on the show. Unbelievable situations, yes. RidiculousI thought the show was hilarious.

Come on people, no one is trying to pass this off as a documentary! Way better than Jersey Shore, Honey Boo Boo, or the Real Housewives of anywhere! If it's ok for the Kardashians to have a place on reality tv then why not Southie Rules? iI can't wait to see what kind of shenanigans the family gets into next week!… Expand

I had very low expectations for this show, and it did not come close to reaching them. Staged reality is one thing, this is complete and total fiction. No one would ever believe there is any reality in this show. Even their accents, which seem authentic, seem to be a little too forced inI had very low expectations for this show, and it did not come close to reaching them.

This is by far the worst show I've ever seen. It's not clever or funny in anyway. I wouldn't be surprised if it's cancelled 1/2 through the season. It's terribly scripted and is a miserable failure.
