The World's Most Extraordinary Homes

My wife and myself are absolutely enjoying the show. Hosts are amazing and the homes they are showing casing are mind-blowing. Very nice show to watch in the evening with your family and completely relax from every day activities.

Many of the reviews disliking Caroline as the host fail to take the whole show as it's intended, in a spirit of fun. Both are proper English upper crusty culturally precious cariacatures. In fairness, Piers is as over the top as Caroline. No harm done. There is some repetition on the design themes, but show me any series like this that isn't repetitive. It's beautifully shot, too, by the way. I found both hosts upbeat and, at times, hilarious. And the homes were, true to the show's title, extraordinary. I was looking for a follow-up version. Hope there is one.

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.

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.

The show is structured nicely, with the couple exploring and analysing the homes by themselves, who then talk to owners and architects who explain their ideas and creations further. Piers is a well-spoken and knowledgeable architect and shows a clear passion for what he sees and experiences. The negative part of the show is that he gets followed around by an extremely annoying, yappy dog who seems to need the camera to focus more on her than the houses we are trying to admire. It's difficult to fully enjoy the show while having to listen to her constant theatrics. The show would benefit from a different, more insightful partner.
