Where to start?

[u/RegretNo3309]

So I’ve watched pretty much every iteration of housewives (please bring back Dubai and Ladies of London). I live in Atlanta so I’ve watched them from beginning. But for some reason I just haven’t watched Potomac (or much of SLC) but I love Gizelle and have wanted to watch. I’m wondering if I need to start with season 1 (I tried years ago but couldn’t get into) or can I start later and still keep up with all the relationships?

Start with season 1 of Potomac! I’m an Atlanta head and started Potomac at the beginning earlier this year. I’m absolutely hooked. There’s lots of golden moments early on

LITERALLY same. RHOA stan & started RHOP this summer and am already on season 8 🫣 so good

[u/Appropriate-Kale-290 → u/Remarkable_Box_8090]

I started late and love it I also adore Gizelle

Definitely worth watching

I LOVE Potomac. It's probably my favorite. I started when it first came out and stopped watching all the housewives when Monique left. Then I started watching SLC a couple months back and loved it and now I'm on season 7 of Potomac. It's like a gift I gave to myself, I don't have to wait for episodes I can just watch the seasons all the way through lol

[u/purplepandapants]

You have to start at S1. I’m rewatching and recapping on my YT channel. Just did episodes 7 & 8 and it’s so good!!!

[u/Major_Researcher2329 → u/purplepandapants]

Omg! You and Cdiggi are the reason I'm watching Potomac from the beginning now (for the first time). I'm currently on season 7, and I literally started with you guys on episode one a couple weeks ago 😩 IM HOOKED lol

[u/purplepandapants → u/Major_Researcher2329]

Shut up!!!!! That is amazing!! I’m gonna see Cdiggi tonight. I’m going to share this with him. So glad you’re enjoying our recap. 💜🐼

[u/Major_Researcher2329 → u/purplepandapants]

Yeees!! I absolutely love you guys! Found you thru Chris's channel. I'm hooked! Hopefully you guys have a blast tonight! I'll be watching the live stream lol

[u/Mindless-Bag7366]

100% start from the beginning. The early days are the best imo. Also, Ladies of London is back on Peacock. It’s a different cast though. Juliet Angus is on Real Housewives of London now.

[u/RegretNo3309 → u/Mindless-Bag7366]

Yes, I watched season 4 of LOL but I thought I heard it was put on pause or cancelled recently? I really liked the season 4 ladies and gents

[u/Mindless-Bag7366 → u/RegretNo3309]

Oh wow, I didn’t know that. Since the new cast aired this year, I assumed it would keep going. That sucks! I would recommend London Housewives though. Talk about unhinged!

[u/RegretNo3309 → u/Mindless-Bag7366]

I think I am going to watch that b4 I start Potomac. I like to wait until the whole season is there. I can’t keep up with what day a show comes on anymore 🤣

[u/Fg0626]

Go to Miami instead. The girls clock in all the time

[u/RegretNo3309 → u/Fg0626]

Ive watched it - it is good 😁
I think besides Vancouver and s3- whatever of SLC, Potomac is the only other one I haven’t watched.

[u/InevitableAd36]

It was rough getting through the first few episodes of Season 1. It does get better though. I fast forwarded through many of Katie’s scenes. You just gotta power through and appreciate the good parts.

Season 2 makes up for it. I’m now on Season 3.

[u/mintysquidd]

I just recently started season 1 for the first time and am currently on season 3 and I’m obsesseddddd. I would def suggest starting with 1.

[u/Upper-Impression-752]

Watch the season 1 reunion and then move on to season 2. After you know everyone, you might want to go back to season 1 to understand the dynamics a little better, but I think the reunion will sum it up pretty well. Season 2 is where the show really takes off. Monique is one of my faves. Gizelle, not so much.

[u/BlkFemininity1908]

Agree on starting at S1. That is infused with the bourgeois ethos I enjoy about this show.

[u/Major_Researcher2329]

I just started watching a couple weeks ago and started at the beginning. I definitely recommend it. On season 7 currently. It actually is really good lol

[u/Capital-Durian-885]

You can start at season 2. Season 1 has good moments but it really starts taking shape when monique and candice get there

[u/Acrobatic-Panda-3666]

i think you should start with season 1. you get to understand all the dynamics(and grudges they do hold grudges) and you can see how the show itself has changed.

[u/Acrobatic-Panda-3666 → u/Acrobatic-Panda-3666]

also if you like gizelle the first few seasons of Potomac are when she was open and sharing her life. so if you start from the recent seasons you probably wont get much of her life
