10 Best Episodes of The Real Housewives of Potomac

Just up the river from our nation’s capital lies a hidden gem—Potomac, Maryland.

Sprinkled throughout this community are a handful of old-line, wealthy African-American families who have historically broken racial barriers to provide a life of privilege for their children. In a town where entry is granted only through class, pedigree, and lineage, how far will the ladies go to secure their spot at the top of this prestigious circle?
