Mari Condo Season 3 opens on Netflx to lukewarm reviews

The cleaning lady is back!
After a well received Season 1 where Condo helps people declutter and Season 2 where she helps them acquire things that spark joy (from her online store Con-Maadi.com), she now helps them declutter again in Season 3 - titled 'Tidying up, again'
In the first episode, she visits Peter and Carol, the couple that she helped tidy up and fill their home with joy-sparking objects from Con-Maadi. Condo soon discovers she has a challenge on her hands - not only does the couple seem distressed, but she finds they are unable to afford basic necessities for their home after their online purchase spree.
Unfazed at the turn of events, Condo dishes out a lesson in the impermanence of things, including joy and helps them not only declutter the Con-Maadi junk but also sell these in black to other Condo fans online in a bid to get their power connection back and buy some sandwiches.
"One should only buy things suitable for the person he is becoming, not for the person he was" Condo says, towards the end."If you are on your way to becoming a poorer person, for example, you should buy cheaper junk from Con-Maadi, not like these folks"
Con-maadi.com meanwhile, has launched a new line of unnecessary premium objects called 'if you've just been condo'ed' meant to fill homes recently decluttered by Condo.
