Instant Dream Home

The show has some great reveals, especially with landscape and interior design. Danielle Brooks is charming as hell and does awesome with walking the families through the house and getting emotional. I think where the show falls short is how over the top staged all the drama is. Just about anything with the CSI inspired planning footage is unbearable and I had to fast forward through it after a couple episodes. Every episode is structured exactly the same, which I know is normal for renovation shows, but every episodes has a period where one of the special projects seems impossible and a period where Danielle takes a call where it seems like the family is right around the corner and nothing is done and then it comes together. Are people dumb enough to believe this? I don't think they are. Lose the staged drama and the weird low-light mission nonsense and it could be a much better show.

The "team leader" seems like it's not a thought-though concept. She seems like a cool girl but she doesn't seem to serve a purpose. The staged bits are reaaaallllyyy obvious..like dropping something big and being "shocked". It's happened in several episodes. So the acting is just quite bad. Everyone seems nice though and I like the designs, not like that other show on Netflix where half the show is their kids and every design is the same.

One thing - why did they put the baby in the closet with no window? :D Makes no sense.

The host is painful. As others have noted there is no benefit to all the screaming. The concept is mad but fascinating and I wish the show would show you how they pull off what they do in a day, because that is interesting. You can't plaster / drywall etc in that time and you can see they avoid this and use clever alternatives, but you never get to see what which let's it down. Where does all the stuff go, who sorts it? Instead we are treated to over the top drama with no plot and plenty of repetition between episodes. I think the concept is very interesting, just poor execution. Maybe they can do a behind the scenes and save us all the poor acting.

I like the shows concept . I do not care for the host I feel like she just runs around and screams it's very annoying when everyone is working so hard. I love the rest of the team .

I really hate those screaming, over-emotional, dramatic hosts. Danielle brings nothing to the show other than distraction. The show is an interesting premise although you could find more deserving recipients in some cases. And lose the pointless drama. It's not necessary.
