And that's a good thing! I love Hoarders, and I really enjoyed CAH too, but Hoarders feels much more exploitative of its hoarders. CAH shows the dismal living quarters without the dramatic edits, but also gives the families of hoarders support in the form of a therapist (who usually facilitates an intervention).
It's really refreshing to see people with severe mental illness being treated like people, but ALSO to see these same people face the consequences of their actions. Usually positive change came about too, but it did feel disingenuous from some hoarders at times.
Overall, if you like Hoarders, there's a good chance you'll like this program too. It's less dramatic and engaging, but still interesting and awe-inspiring at times.
