This week, we’re diving deep into The Real Housewives as one of the most revealing pop-culture franchises of the past 20 years. While Sarah is away this week, Sadaf is joined by Housewives expert Laura Hensley (creator of the That’s My Opinion! newsletter) to break down why we’re obsessed. We get into how this empire kicked off, the beloved format from the taglines to reunions, the most memorable moments and breakout stars, and, of course, all the criticism: the alcohol consumption, the racial ickiness, the rampant crime. And the big question: is it feminist?
