The spectacle of these shows is wild. Parking Wars, watch as people struggle to get their car back from a byzantine bureaucracy that they need to go to work the next day or their entire life might just spiral out of control. Dog the Bounty Hunter, watch as this coked up dude hunts poor people for sport in sanctioned bounties. Operation Repo, watch as we film a 100% fake show of people screaming and getting violent over repo workers gleefully stealing their stuff they need. Storage Wars, let’s see how much money I can make selling someone’s loss. Most trash reality that’s gotten popular on A&E is predicated on just someone’s suffering and exploitation and it’s just normal to watch and be like “hehe, sucks to suck, I’ll never be like that” when they’re a paycheck away from being homeless themselves.
