The World's Most Extraordinary Homes

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.

Saw some critics about the host, especially the lady Caroline. I totally disagree. The architect guy is very calm and knowledgeable, and Caroline adds excitement and vivid life flavor into the show. I think they are a perfect combination and make the show very interesting to see regardless how much architecture knowledge you have.

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.

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.
