'Made In Staten Island': Chill with the backlash, the show is more about teen angst than street hustling
Even before the upcoming Staten Island show has premiered, MTV's 'Made In Staten Island,' has drawn a lot of criticism from the Staten Islanders who believe adding another reality show about their borough for the sake of entertainment brings unwanted and negative attention to their hometown.
"We grew up surrounded by the mob, but now we are trying to find our own way," the trailer narrates. The reality series comes from the star of MTV's previous Staten Island installation 'Mob Wives', Karen Gravano, daughter of Salvatore Sammy 'The Bull' Gravano. The upcoming show follows the story of her daughter Karina, along with six of her friends, who grew up living with the repercussions of having organized crime connections to the family they are born into.
