One of the most recent series to capture the fans' attention has been The Real Housewives of Potomac, and everyone is eating up these fierce and fiery housewives who make such great TV when they're all together on the show. Bravo launched RHOP in 2016, but the series didn't really get that much attention when it premiered. For most fans, getting into Real Housewives of Potomac was a slow burn - but once they understood the great characters that were featured on the show, everyone was completely hooked.

The OG stars of Real Housewives of Potomac might be Ashley Darby, Gizelle Bryant, Karen Huger, and Robyn Dixon, but newer cast members such as Monique Samuels, Candiace Dillard Bassett, and Wendy Osefo also made a huge splash with the fans upon joining the show. At the height of the pandemic in 2020, the release of RHOP season 5 felt like a lightning-in-a-bottle experience for most longtime Real Housewives fans. The show became a massive hit overnight, with viewers finally catching up to how great this cast had always been.
