Consumed is an extreme home experiment where de-cluttering expert Jill Pollack challenges overwhelmed families drowning in stuff to survive for 30 days with only the bare essentials (i.e. a few personal items and 10 things to share). With their worldly possessions temporarily gone, Jill gives each family the chance to rebuild their lives from scratch, both physically and emotionally, by forcing them to confront the effect of clutter on their lives and their relationships. In the end, the goal is for each family to see their material possessions, homes, and each other in a completely different light. But can families who have been consumed by our consumer society really change? Darren Doyle acts as resident handyman in the series, helping Jill create functional living areas. —Anonymous

yes and yes!
This is a show with a simple concept of tidying. First showing the people they can survive on bare minimum, the show is challenging families to interact and clean up also in their relationships. Of course, not everyone can fix their neglected homes and relationships. But surprisingly, some do. Many people show remarkable progress and embrace change. We can all learn from this and stop procrastinating, be more responsible and adult. On the downside, some families fall back and dont manage to change. Its heartbreaking to see, but also an important lesson. Some families even fall apart. Thats life. I like it that the same concept is applied to different families with completely different outcomes.
