Tidying Up with Marie Kondo

I find Marie to be a calming and sweet host and I really don't mind the subtitles. I appreciate that she doesn't shame the families she's working with, and I like that she doesn't force them to throw everything away in 48 hours or something ridiculous. A sweet, simple, and realistic show.

I love that this show focuses on useful tips and strategies where "clients" are shown how to make better use of their own resources and objects without themselves or production team spending thousands of dollars on renovations. Some viewers may have difficulty with cultural differences and language barrier. It seems that this is a show more about the philosophy than about home improvement; however, the show does a great job of highlighting the interconnection between clutter and daily stress of clients. Each episode has specific strategies for difficult categories.

The show is a joy to watch, especially contrasted against most reality TV. Marie seems genuinely interested and invested in each participant's success. Participants are also relatable, not just extreme or unusual cases.

It s a solid entry into the quickly growing pleasant/heart-warming reality TV sub-genre.

Very cute presentation of what you can read in Marie Kondo's books. Her method KonMari is explained well on examples. The journey that the participants undertake changes not only their homes, but also themselves. It is lovely show and Marie is just a gem!

Having heard of her method by reading the book I was looking forward to watch the show. It is very light entertaining and has a lot of positive energy. Just the contrary to the usual action loaded Netflix Series. Marie always seems in a good mood. I don´t have any language problems as it perfectly dubbed for my countrys language. It is a strange thing that there is a reality show that helps people to take care of their clutter as they possess just TOO MUCH! Quite a good niche she found in our first world problems. The interesting thing about Marie: She does not seem to judge, but to understand and wanting to help. Its a nice change to all the black and white today where everything and everyone has to be perfect. She gives me lift and makes me think about my life and my belongings. Its a good start to help to overthink what is important for us. The Translator seems to vanish, once Marie starts to speak as she kind of spreads a presence that over shines everything else. I also enjoy the little intermissions where she gives the watcher little tips on how she would do this or that at home. I would like to have some episodes coming up, where people do struggle a bit more. Don´t get me wrong - but it seems almost easy when she comes to visits the family and they do everything fine as she says it. I'd love touch more drama.
