Lego Masters

I like Will Arnett and the basis for the show. Problem is it follows the same script too many shows like it do (Hell's Kitchen is a perfect example). Gimmicky over the top contestants, sitting around talking throughout the show. Too much flash and flair instead of just getting down to the competition. It just starts to feel scripted. Hope it improves.

"Lego Masters" is a competition show in which ten teams of two builders each compete for $100,000. In the pilot, host Will Arnett introduces the two judges and explains the concept of the "golden brick"---awarded to the winner of the day's competition, it gives that team immunity from elimination when redeemed.

The teams are extremely diverse, from all demographics. And there is a variety of relationships: newlyweds, father-son teams, fellow cosplayers, etc.

The first episode had the teams building theme parks over the course of 15 hours. That sounds like plenty of time, but they needed all of it to design, build and motorize their themed amusement parks.

The tone of the show is light and humorous, thanks in large part to host Arnett. But the teams are very serious about winning and displaying their talents. Lego-philes should love it. For anyone who likes creative play, this is great fun.

Either I'm getting old or the people behind this program are clueless. Forced emotional drama, flashy effects while someone is talking, loud music and an intro made up of "dramatic" moments don't necessarily make for a good program. If I wanted that there are plenty of programs like that to pick from. I tuned into this for the Lego builds and build process, not forced dramatic tripe. Deeply disappointing waste of time. 1/10.

I'll make this short and to the point. The LEGO building is amazing! The writing and jokes are not. Their is terrible, unnecessary drama and people crying ALL THE TIME for dumb reasons. This would've been better as a straight up reality competion instead of a scripted, melodramatic-"try hard to make the audience chuckle"-type show. I do reccomend though because the creations are stunning!

I like Will Arnett, Legos, Badass Builders and Weekly Fox competition shows. So combining all these 'bricks' together should be an easy masterbuild, right? But it's quirky hosting is obnoxiously scripted and I can no longer tell if it's supposed to be ironic or authentic. It's family friendly fun but sometimes I'm confused on who their focused audience is. Adults? Or easily humored children? The second season specifically has added more cringe factor and it's become too cheesy to enjoy.
