When I first heard about Intervention, I thought it was a sick idea: film an addict as he or she undergoes an intervention. How freaking tacky!
And then I watched. The show isn't tacky, at all. In fact, it's really well-made, with the docoumentarians never intervening (except in one case, where the subject seemed to be teetering on suicidal behaviour.) Each episode starts by introducing one or two people, eachof whom had an addictionof some sort. The subjects might be drug addicts or alcoholics, but they may also be people with eating dosorders or gambling problems, etc. There is no interviewer...
