i find i enjoy this show and but the format need some work . first off and the good attribute . i like how this show will take u through the day to day life of an addict because the producer have a knack at get the addict to show u how bad they have allow their life to become . this be follow by an intervention which be then follow by an outcome . intervention doesn not candy coat thing and sometimes the outcome ( often short term due to the constraint of time between film and air ) be a negative outcome . this make the positive outcome all the good . another thing i like about the show be the quality of the camera work . give the reality that these cameraman have to squeeze anywhere and do not have the benefit of re shoot scene the photography be surprisingly good and stable . it actually superior to script show like the shield where the photography be so bad it can induce nausea . now for the bad . an episode will sometimes contain two completely different and unrelated case that will be mixed together during the show . you will get catch up in the story of one addict then suddenly youre thrown into the story of another . get catch up in that story then suddenly youre back to the first addict . or be you . by now you may have forget which case the individual currently on screen belong to . this constant flip flopping between addict really get disruptive during the intervention scene because the show will even mix together the two completely unrelated intervention . i once hear the marketing b. s. reason for this poor design represent the show can get so intense that switch to another addict allow the viewer time to absorb what theyre watch . oh please . clearly the reason this be do be because they have two case that aren not big enough for an hour show so they mix two together . by mix them instead of give each a half hour block and like they should and it force the viewer to watch the entire thing ( and the commercial ) if they be interested in one case but not the other . i use to find these blender episode so annoy that i would only tell my tivo to record episode contain one addict and but then it become easier just to record all of them .
