I'm pretty hooked on this show, but it's getting progressively weirder as we get into the second season. We start seeing more of Dave's family and weird homeless people he feels a need to help for some reason. YAWN.But what is really interesting is how Dave goes from a well-meaning, slightly meddling property manager who has to be over-involved to prevent his apartments from being destroyed, to an aggressive, pushy, demanding slumlord.Dave harangues a guy for not sweeping alongside his bed, yet the paint was literally peeling off the walls when he moved in. Oh, but then Dave buys him a new bed. What a nice guy.Dave gets in his new employee's face for asking for more money (he was making less than minimum wage). But, you know, he offered him a job in the first place so isn't he so very nice? Dave bullies a couple with a temporary lease (while their other apartment, also Dave's property, is being fixed) into moving back into their old apartment although it's somewhat clear that their temporary lease isn't up yet. Oh, but he brings her a cream pie as a peace offering! D'awwww.Dave offers a homeless drug addict and opportunity to mow all the lawns on the street in exchange for dinner for the guy and his girlfriend. Dave is shocked when the lawns aren't mowed the next day, and inexplicably goes to find the guy at a local shelter. He's sober, a fact which Dave completely attributes to himself as he asks "so, what did I say to you yesterday that turned it around for you?"Dave's smarmy god complex is delightful to watch and judge.This show is like a cross between Hoarders and Storage Wars so if you like those, you'll like this.

This is a show about a man and his crew who are the super- attendant(s) for over 50 locations. You can even quote him saying in the intro that most of his clients live in high crime areas, are addicted to drugs or are victims of abuse. The first episode he's "helping" a woman that's clearly suffering from mental illness but is not enjoying his help what so ever. He is not a psych doctor but treats her like he's got a degree. It was painful to watch the first episode on Netflix.They are showing some of America's most vulnerable people for your entertainment. If you enjoy that type of thing then you may enjoy this but I thought it was tasteless and a poorly executed rip off of Hoarders/Intervention. I recommend actually watching Hoarders or Intervention. At least that show leaves you with hope. This one made me want to cry and dislike "reality" TV even more. It was; in my opinion senseless re-victimizing of already vulnerable people for the sake of the show.2 stars, only because of the people that had to endure his presence on the show, the show itself deserves way less.

I think Dave is the best, he tries so hard to help. These two, Rachael and her idiot boyfriend( who, BTW could have got them put out for being there as long as he was without being on the lease) are two of they dumbest people ever. They couldn't see help if it punched them in the face and said hi, I'm help. That girl is a social worker? Rachael, see you next Tuesday! Boyfriend, Dave would have stomped a mud hole in your ass. Great work Dave. You have made me appreciate my landlord more than I already do. If the majority of these people would just stay calm and listen to Dave, and not get all worked up and talk tough it would go so much easier.

It's a reality show that follows around this well-meaning nerd who has a big heart but also sticks to his principles and morals firmly. He is a superintendent to like hundreds of apartments that are just in the slummiest parts of Ohio (i think) He has to deal with bums, drug-addicts, liars, thieves, etc. day to day, but whilst dealing with them he also gives them the benefit of the doubt and does his best to make accommodations for them but he usually winds up getting taken advantage of.The show was on HDNET which is now AXS.TV, and like other HDNET produced shows, it has a slightly low-budget/ high school production sort of charm and feel.I am pretty sure the show was not scripted and it showed, but it was extremely fun and entertaining. The promos had the best sound-bytes and clips and I really think this show was not only special as far as this type of show goes, but was also a guilty pleasure.I am hoping they do another season.
