Everyone loves a good reality TV binge.
The kind you feel guilty for watching, but also can't wait to talk to everyone about.You either watch it religiously...
Or sneak downstairs at night just to catch the latest episode... you know who you are.For some, reality television is the lowest form of entertainment.
They're the ones sneaking around watching it at night by the way.But they're completely wrong.
While they have their fair share of hookups, catfights, and let's not forget those projectile beverages, it can get pretty deep, and even heartwarming at times.This genre of television just can't be beaten.
I mean people are actually giving up their privacy and revealing their lack of decency so that we have something addictive to watch while lounging in our pajamas. How can you not love that?Little Women: LA is one of those reality shows you just can't get enough of.

The characters provide a journey into the world of "little women," allowing you to switch off and invest in someone else's life for an hour, or 2, or 3... let's just say once you start, you can't stop.And that's the problem, you become completely invested.
Since Little Women: LA debuted in 2014, there have been 4 spin-offs,  including Little Women: Terra's Little Family, Little Women: NY, Little Women: Atlanta, and Little Women: Dallas.Lifetime has certainly created a niche for itself.
The feisty personalities and power struggles are among some of the issues faced by the girls, but the daily challenges that arise from being little people in a big city always help them come together.It's an amazing insight into the struggles people with dwarfism face every day.
And provides some much-needed exposure to a relatively untalked about topic on daytime television.When Little Women: Atlanta hit screens after the first few spin-offs, it was an instant hit.
It follows the lives of twins Amanda and Andrea, "Mama Bear" Ashley, shy Bri, Tiffany, and group leader Emily, all of which have their own personal struggles.When it first aired in 2016, the drama was set to max, and it instantly became a crowd favorite.
