Reenactment shows generally feature over-the-top performance and "All Worked Up" is no exception. I'm sure the daily lives of repo agents, process servers, meter maids and the like have their fair share of altercations but not quite as portrayed here. Needless to say, every segment of this show starts and ends the same way with arguments ensuing and fights breaking out.

The Lizard Lick towing segments are the perfect stereotyping of Redneck America. The owners tow vehicles, get into scrapes and it continues at the office where the the people demand either their cars or what's in them. Mostly with their actions are justified but Bobby is often ruthless when dealing with their clients. He says after every fight that he will improve relations but that's never the case.

When Byran does his job, he tries to make himself neutral but when he's by himself or in the confessional, you can see why he gets little respect. After hearing one side of the story, he constantly berates the people he serves and any bystanders who get in his way. Mostly after he stalks them for the day, it's one and done but he has a few times served the same person more than once. Get a different process server to do that so no one gets recognized.

Jackie the meter maid writes tickets for blatantly obvious parking violations. She does her job well but sometimes too well, a few times writing unnecessary extra tickets. Then there's the security guard at a wrestling arena who has to tolerate irate fans. I wish I had a dollar for each "I will sue you" that came out of their mouths after they are ejected.

So, yes. It's mostly the same episode every time and pretty much shows what not to do if you ever have to deal with these people. Not that entertaining and staged, of course (you can see clearly see the cameras and sometimes the actors will request to have them turned off).
