I have watched a bunch of these tv shows. I like them.

I watched an episode or two and it's extremely bizarre. Some of the gypsy families acted like total Southerners but yet had their gypsy cultures. The one episode I watched the father's name was Patchy(or something crazy like that), had a huge southern accent, lived in a trailer, alcoholic, basically acted like a total Southerner but yet he basically sold off his daughter who was like 13 years old
