Summary

IT WAS GONNA BE A REALLY GOOD REALITY SHOW, FAM, WE SWEAR TO GODDESS! Ugh, in 2010, Lifetime TV ordered 8 episodes of a show called PI Moms. And it was supposed to be just as badass as it sounds: A group of women kicking ass, taking names, and solving crimes. The only problem is that WE CAN'T HAVE ANYTHING GOOD, and so it turns out, the whole enterprise was being run by a guy who not only didn't actually care about the show, but was also BUYING AND THEN SELLING DRUGS FROM A DIRTY COP, annnnnnnnd a completely different egomaniac dude was trying to derail the whole thing because the producers wouldn't make a show called PI MOMS ABOUT HIM. Like, you really can't make this stuff up. And there's a reason this (amazing) series is called Trainwreck. Ugh. ANYWAY GET READY TO HEAR US SCREAM FOR AN HOUR (sorry for yelling).
