'Love and Marriage Detroit' premiered last week and it did not disappoint in its debut.
Love and Marriage Detroit premiered on June 24 on OWN, and it's a solid hit thus far. Franchise fans of the longstanding reality program met the new couples and they certainly have a lot going on. While the opinions on the cast members are still forming, there is one thing that is certain: Brandon Smith is not a good husband. Not only does he have the audacity to lie to his wife, Kristina Bowman Smith, about what he’s doing at his job, but he also gaslights her in the process.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT ‘Love and Marriage Detroit’ Cast and Immediate Conflict As most new series do, the first episode of LAMD starts out introducing viewers to the new couples. The cast consists of Russell and Kolby Harris, Kristina and Brandon Smith, and LaToya and Anthony Thompson. Each of the couples has their own things going on: Russell Harris is beginning seminary school, and Anthony has his little Man’s Movement thing. Yes, that’s a thing.
Ever heard of gaslighting? Gaslighting is a term used when manipulation is used to create self-doubt in someone. Dr. Paige Sweet further explains the term, stating that gaslighting is, “Making someone seem or feel unstable, irrational and not credible, making them feel like what they’re seeing or experiencing isn’t real, that they’re making it up, that no one else will believe them.” So why bring this up in relation to Brandon and Kristina? Because it’s exactly what he did.
Kristina Bowman Smith Should Be Suspicious of Brandon Later, viewers learn it’s the Smiths' anniversary. The first thing Brandon says is that he never could have imagined that their marriage would make it past five years. Regardless of his interesting choice of words, he has planned a cute picnic to celebrate the occasion with the rest of the couples. At first, it’s lovely and everyone was having a cute time.
There is also an interesting perception of them as a couple with the rest of the group. Russell mentions that he would never let Kolby talk to him the way Kristina talks to Brandon. They are all unaware of Brandon’s past infidelity, something Kristina touches on at the picnic. It will be interesting to see if those perceptions of Kristina will change as the season progresses. One thing that is definitely clear is that the drama this season will not disappoint.
