PUBLISHED DEC 27, 2018

Staten Island gets yet another reality TV series titled 'Made in Staten Island', and before you assume that this is like any other 'forgotten borough' reality show, or even draws parallels to the 'Jersey Shore' variety, then you ought to reconsider the fact that this is a humanely true story of seven young individuals trying to break free from the criminal connection they are born into.

The new MTV series comes from 'Mob Wives' star Karen Gravano, whose daughter Karina, stars in the new reality show. Fun fact about Karina is that she is the granddaughter of former Gambino crime family underboss Sammy "The Bull" Gravano. Along with Karina are six other young Staten Islanders with almost similar histories of crime and prison legacy.
