I didn't watch the first season, but I caught the season premiere and a rerun of the series premiere.
Not sure what to even say about it except that it's weirdly compelling and fascinating, no matter how gross it is. And it is gross...in the new episode, they found two dead, flattened, cat carcasses in the rubble of the lady's house. The lady had wondered where they had gone to.
I've enjoyed watching Clean House before, but those people are a little easier to snark on. Their houses are messy...some crazy messy...but usually not in a city-is-about-to-condemn-the-property-and-put-the-kids-in-foster-care kind of way. This show is really kind of sad because they people are clearly in need of a lot more help than just shoveling out the place. I hope the show really does follow through and help them get it.
