Strong personalities evoke the hold of the old, the tug of the new, and that intersection's human fireworks.
Where American Gypsies shines--and it really does shine here and there--is in the glimpses we get of the internal system of justice that's developed among a people who don't trust government, and family rituals like the "red-dress ceremony" with which the Johns family welcomes its newest member.
Not that this family of five adult sons, along with matriarch, Tina, and patriarch, Bobby Sr., aren't fascinating. They are. I just don't know if I want to live with them and all their unnecessary drama.
Gypsies is just mildly entertaining, mostly because the family drama seems staged.
The producers are so focused on creating and highlighting conflict that after a while, as with the boy who cried wolf, you would just like everyone to shut up and be eaten.
American Gypsies, the second deplorable show about this subculture to come along in three months.
