Sara Jane Ho has some great advice to help navigate the world and elevate your life. She looks perfect and seems like she wouldn't or couldn't relate to regular folk, people unlike herself but she sees people as they are and shows them they can do better and be better. This is not a preachy show, simply, this is the world of etiquette, these are the rules, this is how it is done. It is more than using the correct fork, and how to hold it correctly, yes there is a correct way! It is learning to be comfortable in every situation and making those around you feel comfortable. Life lessons told gently. We meet six individual people who are vastly different from each other with different needs and objectives but all who want to improve themselves. They all realize that by improving themselves their lives will be better. There is one man, Robert, who is shy with women. He has had girlfriends but he wants to improve how he connects with people. The rest are women at various stages in life, one woman who is an older mom and feels she has lost her way. Because Ho insists on seeing where people live she gets insight into who her students are and gets a better understanding of how she can improve their lives. The 50 year old mother lives with her daughter and husband. Discovering there is no table for family meals and conversation Ho makes it clear over the course that this is an important element that must be added to improve life for the whole family. It seems obvious but nothing is obvious to the uninformed.
There are also four other women who meet together for lessons in etiquette. They are Asian women who are navigating between two worlds East and West. This is very interesting and at some points brings her individual student in to meet this group for a lesson.
The show is well thought out. Ho works on an international scale and that's why you'll see the show end with a different skyline showing you that the student she is working with lives in New York, London, San Francisco. Another reviewer was confused by the changing skylines.
Etiquette may seem frivolous to some, but Ho takes her work seriously. She herself is a dedicated student of humanity. She is professional, impeccable and approachable and so is her style and manner. I enjoyed the show more than I thought I would.
