Season 1 - Episode 8
CBS (US)
Caroline needs a second job. Max loves hoarders, it's like TV to her. Caroline cleans a hoarder's apartmetn for extra money and Max tags along. It's a stupid, stupid premise, but it gives some good laughs.
"And the Hoarder Culture" is the first episode of the season, though that feels a bit like filler, or set-up. Johnny, it turns out does have feelings for Max, but also has a girlfriend. While he is conflicted, Max shows strength by effectively showing him the door. It's a real moment of growth for Max, but that's about all of note that happens throughout the episode. Oleg and Earl have some good lines, Hahn is brilliant, and Kat Dennings gets the chance to wear a dress that shows off her assets beautifully. But the rest is just sort of there. It's funny, but not overly substantial.
Knowing the premise for the next episode does give me the idea that this was pretty much a set-up episode. I hope so, because although I laughed at "And the Hoarder Culture" it didn't feel important in the grand scheme of the show.
