You can't be taught style and you certainly can't be taught flair. It's wonderful how immutable that truth is, even if everything that surrounds the conveyance of it is, basically, a mess. Go to Full Review

Carr will obviously be sticking around for the entire season and it was a solid beginning for the jolly raconteur. But for now the true star is no-nonsense Ogundehin. Go to Full Review

There is a wholesomeness to this show that illustrates that you can moderate language and behaviour yet still have a decent competition conducted in a civilised way. Go to Full Review

If the goal is to have designers create spaces to a client's needs and demands, there should be more than a few moments dedicated to that. Go to Full Review

Perhaps the show would have proved popular, too, years ago when rudeness was all the rage. These days, we like our reality contests to have soft edges and lots of group hugs. Roll on Bake Off. Go to Full Review

Sadami Y 04/14/2023 I just love this show. But I agree it's not for everybody. Love Michele and Alan Carr together. The designs aren't always my personal taste, but I think it's because art, design and architecture is so subjective, specially in different cultures. For me it's a 5 stars. See more Diego U 02/12/2023 Worst tv show ever, especially the winner and the judge from the first season. Not gonna give the second season a try for sure. See more 08/07/2022 The desicion of te judges were a complete desater, the winner was the worst, she didn't care about the client's tastes or needs, she force her style even dough no one likes it. The desicions were subjective all the time they didn't care about form, function or anything about a good design needs. See more 02/26/2022 ** SPOILER ALERT for Season 1** After coming across this show on Netflix and binge watching for the weekend, I am honestly now in complete and utter shock how the judges - judge (Michelle) - chose Cassie as the winner of the comp. I am all for great design (which is why I am in shock) and am personally a lover of Victoriana and an antique dealer but Cassie's designs were beyond hideous. The bedroom she did for the expectant couple looked like a Gypsy bordello (no offense to gypsies). The other "Cassie" bedroom for the hotel which featured the canopy was even worse though in the same nutz style. I am so upset at the winner and the judging that I will NOT watch further installments of this series. While my favorite designer overall was Ju - I love floral toile! - when it came down to Frank vs Cassie, Frank was the clear choice. I tip my design hat to Frank, whose designs were mostly amazing and applaud him that he grew a lot during the show. Even though he ran out of budget to do the book nook in the final challenge, I felt it was something the client could have done - expand the reading area - at very minimal cost after the fact. Terrible judging. Cassie is who she is and likes what she likes but the judges should know better. Also, the timelines for the design completion (most 2 days) are quite beyond ridiculous as well. I feel it is like asking a heart surgeon to save your life, but to do the surgery in 4 minutes. Alan Carr needs new judges and a re-think of the rules for the show like the timelines. See more 11/26/2021 Michelle Ogundehin is the worst presenter. She always superimposes her opinion on the candidates above the professional guest. She should be impartial and not protect her favorite person. This show was totally fake. See more 07/31/2021 The worst show with the worst judges. The judges had a knack to pick the designs of the ones who never really took their clients opinions into account or the ones with the most impractical designs. Yes there were some interesting designs, but it was really infuriating as the best designers were kicked out almost immediately while the other ones stayed?????? So I would advise you to watch at your risk. See more Read all reviews
