Nikki works in media and sent this email as I live in Bay Ridge.

    "Brooklyn Crew" invites viewers to the close-knit community of Bay Ridge in Brooklyn, NY and into the lives of two lifelong groups of friends who have been ripped apart by jealousy, rivalry, and a mysterious betrayal. The docu-series, shot in documentary style, is produced by Ish Entertainment - Oxygen Channel.

    Set in the close knit community of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, NY, 'Brooklyn Crew' takes viewers on a voyeuristic journey into the lives of two lifelong groups of friends who have been torn apart by jealousy, rivalry, and a bitter betrayal that is clouded in mystery. Nothing is more important in this town then loyalty and respect, and depending on who you believe, it appears one of its own has broken that code. Even though it's a mere hour from Manhattan, Bay Ridge remains a town with its own customs, language and rules. Shot in a vivid, documentary style, "Brooklyn Crew" will follow the story of two groups of girls fighting a turf war to rule Bay Ridge. Who will win is uncertain, but the stakes have never been higher. "Brooklyn Crew" is produced by Ish Entertainment with Michael Hirschorn, Wendy Roth, Ethan Goldman and Lenid Rolov serving as executive producers.

The show sounds a lot like the energies of "Jersey Shore" and some of my clients. :)
