'Love & Hip-Hop' Season 4 Premiere Recap: Terrifically Messy

Love & Hip-Hop New York Season 4
Season 4, Episode 1

Tried as they might to keep the momentum of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta going, season 3 of the original incarnation of the show revealed itself to be more like a weekly cry for help than riveting television. It had its moments, but overall the first Love & Hip Hop was the winded opening act to LHHATL’s Beyoncé.

So it was with hesitation that I thought to watch the show’s fourth season. Nevertheless, I’m pleasantly surprised with the season 4 opener. Granted, a lot of the cast members still register a “Who in the hell are you?” and “Where did they dig y’all up?” But hey, they were engaging and horrifically messy – to very entertaining results. It’s as good as it can possibly by. After all, you can only give so much without the Puerto Rican Princess otherwise known as Joseline Hernandez, Baby. —Michael Arceneaux (@youngsinick)
