Late to the party with this series. I just discovered it! Absolutely addicting in the best way. Being an ex-Detroiter from Northwest side, Cass Tech ’65, I’m delighted to see all the chutzpah involved in this wacky business. Love the references to 8 Mile Rd. The Gold family is always a hoot; Les has infinite patience, a big heart, trying desperately to keep his two kids from killing each other. The customers, security staff, the folks in the background are top-notch. Makes me remember buying a guitar in HS from a pawn shop on 12th street.
Ashley’s voice goes right through me like nails on a blackboard. She screams and you can’t get a word in…cannot stand this woman! Can’t call her a lady she’s far from that.
Seth is very smart and has some good ideas for the store BUT he really needs to grow up. Les is cool he has a decent heart and more people would get help if they were nicer to him. Yes, Les has a good heart too…love him.

I am not a fan of Ashleys…pls get a new voice.
Like Ashley, Seth has attitude and is ignorant to both his father and sister, Seth needs an attitude adjustment and needs to GROW UP.
Ashley needs to be teabagged!
I watch the show, or should I say watched the show…though it was a cool show, after watching the show for a while it makes me sick. Ashly is a bi*c*!!! Just looking at her that’s all I ee…Seth too is the biggest jackass there! He thinks he knows it all and knows everything. I know it’s a show but they are sickening. I think Ashly would be a better person if she is not around Seth…he has no hope. How can you burn people and then say you treat them with respect and give the best price? You guys burn people and then make 3 times the money…it makes me sick!
Ashley is very cute to me, and she holds her stand. I applaud her efforts in trying to defend herself from her A***hole brother. If she was not married, I would take her away and start giving her the true respect and love she deserves.
Ashley,
I love you and your Dad and Seth and I wish you and your husband the best of health and sucess.
I really love the Hardcore Pawn show. It is very entertaining ❤
Ashley, you are a very beautiful woman. I love you.
