Las casas más extraordinarias del mundo

Piers is interesting, knowledgable and calm. I've watched a few shows featuring him and always enjoyed them so when I saw this had hit Netflix I went straight for it. Caroline on the other hand must be the most annoying person I've ever seen. I literally cringed in every scene she was in which peaked when she was crushing on a married Norwegian man right before meeting his wife. That aside the show is an enjoyable watch which would be made only better with less/no screen time for Caroline and a different presenter to bounce off Piers' enthusiasm. Nice to see this kind of content on Netflix and would quite enjoy some more.

***Update*** - Just watched an episode of Season 2 and Caroline seems a completely different person! Pleasure to watch...

I love architecture, nature and exotic places and this is a show that combines all of them very well.

The basic theme (visiting the house, talking with the owners and the architect) works well and I especially like the still photos that show the various construction phases. I also like the drawings that Piers does in order to explan the basics of the design.

What I don't like is the lady. She is loud, annoying, always keen to steal screen time, her comments adding nothing of substance. In one particular episode she spent an entire section talking about how handsome the house owner was. Truly pathetic. And always laughing hysterically. Unbearable.

I watched the whole season on Netflix and I enjoyed it. But I wouldn't watch any more episodes with the same cast.

Apart from that, a very good show.

Would be a good show if only this annoying lady kept her mouth shut. I stopped watching this, couldn't hear any more S O S O E X T R A O R D I N A R Y.

I love how they highlight these beautiful pieces of architecture, but the woman host is hilarious and not in a laughing with you kind of way. She's so extra. It's like thy gave their rich aunt a TV show and were like "act intrigued, more excitement, focus on the bathroom." I also find it funny how when they're approaching a new house, they wander out of the most ridiculous areas and are like "oh, I think we found it," to get a good shot. Guys, we're gonna need you to wander into that rocky forest and act like you randomly stumbled upon this mansion. Overall it's a good show.

This is a great show and Piers is an amazing architect who could probably hold this show on his own. However, Caroline Quentin is an embarrassment and should be removed immediately. The homes are wonderful and their construction techniques and stories are woven well into the fabric of the show.
