The reality series Catfish, which is a bit more bare bones than many of us would like to admit, is back for a new 15-episode run. Loneliness, longing, pain, and technology ...... The show is equal parts touching and absurd, depicting incidents that will stay with you for years to come.

"Catfish" Season 9 airs Tuesdays on MTV in the US.

What "Catfish" always does so well is suspend judgment. No matter how harmful, twisted, or malicious its subterfuge may be, Catfish is often as sympathetic as its hapless victims.

No other reality show has examined the human psyche more effectively, and no cautionary tale more powerfully extolls the pitfalls of modern technology, from social media to dating apps.

Nev Schulman and Kammy Crawford will co-host, and Max Joseph, who left the show six years ago, will also appear briefly. For more information on how to watch "Catfish" Season 9 online and from anywhere in the world, read our guide below.
