Family Karma is the anti-Housewives show. The show title says it all. Rather than being about status, fashion, and unpleasant, screaming catfights, Family Karma is simply about family.
The Bravo show page describes the show as “an intimate look at seven Indian-American friends navigating life, love, and careers while balancing the cultural traditions and expectations of their traditional parents and grandparents.”
It’s a feel-good show about several families who relocated to Miami from India looking for a better life. The parents brought their Indian values and traditions with them. But their kids grew up in America and sometimes struggle to reconcile their family traditions with their American culture. But the glue that holds everyone together is the love shared by friends and extended family.
Bravo, bring back the Karma
Back in May 2023 when Bravo announced their 2023-2024 slate, fans of Family Karma were dismayed to see it missing from the lineup. Viewers didn’t hold back with comments such as, “WHERE IS #FAMILYKARMA?” and “This better not be an announcement that #FamilyKarma is canceled. Don’t play with me @BravoTV!”
Despite being arguably the most wholesome and family-oriented show on Bravo, Family Karma is also important for its LGBTQIA+ and Asian American representation. One Twitter user nailed the situation: “You canceled Shahs of Sunset and now Family Karma? Makes your AAPI Heritage Month commercials a joke.”
One of the main storylines of Season 3 was the buildup to the wedding of Amrit Kapai and his fiancé Nicholas Kouchoukos. From Amrit’s telling his elderly Indian grandmother that he was marrying a man and being embraced with unchanging love to the culmination of their lavish multiday wedding held in Alpharetta, Georgia, it was a joyous celebration of acceptance and inclusion.
GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Reality Program
At the awards ceremony on May 13, as Amrit accepted the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Reality Program alongside his parents and Nicholas, he told a story. When Amrit was a senior in high school, he ran for Senior Class President. He was “tall, lanky, kind of awkward, and very closeted.” He had no chance of winning, and when they announced the election results and he didn’t win, he just “wanted to disappear.”
“But right now, standing on this stage and winning this award,” he said, “in this moment, I feel like the Senior Class President.” I’m not crying, you’re crying! Is someone chopping onions?
Please, Bravo, how can you cancel such a heartwarming show? We need a little positivity in our lives. We have so few sources of love and acceptance these days. This show deserves a Season 4, especially now that Amrit and Nicholas have begun their search for a surrogate in their quest to have a family. We don’t need more Housewives in our lives. We need Family Karma.
All episodes of Family Karma are available for streaming on Peacock.
TELL US – DID YOU LOVE THIS SHOW AS MUCH AS I DID? DO YOU WANT BRAVO TO BRING IT BACK FOR SEASON 4?
