Watch Hoarders with Fubo for $0 Today
"Hoarders" is an often painful look inside a disease that can bury its sufferer -- literally at times -- in its symptoms. Each hourlong episode profiles two people on the verge of a personal crisis, all caused by the fact that they are unable to part with even the tiniest possessions, and the cumulative effect becomes a mountain of junk and garbage overtaking their home or apartment. If they don't respond to professional help, the consequences sometimes involve eviction, kids being taken away, or even jail time.
S1, EP1 "Jennifer & Ron; Jill"
A young stay at home mom and her husband fear that child protective services may take their three children away because of their hoarding; a woman has two freezers and four refrigerators full of food in various stages of decay.
S1, EP2 "Linda; Steven"
A woman's compulsive shopping depletes her family's finances, fills every room in her home and leads to her divorce; a man faces eviction from subsidized housing because his apartment is filled with garbage and excrement.
S1, EP3 "Tara; Betty"
A woman must get control of her hoarding and part with her stuff before she is evicted; a woman's husband is removed by Adult Protective Services as a result of her hoarding.
S1, EP4 "Jake; Shirley"
Jake compulsively hoards garbage and fears that if things don't change soon he may take his own life; Shirley could never turn away a stray cat, now she must cooperate with authorities or face criminal prosecution for animal cruelty.
