How to Build a Sex Room

I put this on at random to kill some time and expected to just have it on in the background while I sat on my phone, but I was hooked from the minute the host Melanie opened her mouth!

The whole show is an amazing, Melanie is an absolute legend, her witty banter, her passion for each project, how she really listens to every client's unique wants and ideas, her taste is also sublime! The contractor she has with her (Dave?!) is hilarious and clearly incredibly skilled in making Mel's dreams reality. And the clients themselves are all lovely, unique and diverse people. It was great to see straight couples, gay couples, non binary couples, even a polyamorous group! Rooms for a whole smorgasbord of kink, rooms for passion and lovemaking, each incorporating its clients unique tastes and needs.

Really, this show boils down to celebrating love and the re-kindling of intimacy for those that need a bit of help in that department. Every episode gave me a massive smile and the warm fuzzies from seeing people so happy and in love with each other!

Please, please, please do more seasons Netflix!

This show is great - I love Melanie Rose's personality and how she gets along with each of her clients. It tackles the subject of sex in a very positive, educational way while also combining the building aspect of the home improvement shows you normally see on HGTV. They also include a great variety of different couples, sexualities and relationship types. I think my only gripe is that they switch to a new client a quarter of the way through an episode, right when I'm getting invested in one couple - suddenly I'm having to get to know another. I understand why they did this though, as it results in a cliffhanger leading into the next episode.

This show is a lot of fun and surprisingly wholesome and deserves a higher rating!

This is a sweet, heartwarming show. I see a lot of feedback about it not being realistic from a functionality perspective. These rooms largely aren't extreme - because a lot of folks don't have extreme sexual relationship. It shows a great deal of restraint, and eliminates a lot of shock factor that people watch reality TV for. I don't know that she's an inspiring designer, but I appreciate her candor, curiosity, and her active listening skills.

The editing (frequently discussed) is non-linear, and sort of off putting at first. It's to drive binge watching. As a psychologist I knew this, and I still binged it.

Consider it a primer to kink, a unique design show, or an exercise in perspective taking. No matter how you view it, it's not perfect, but it's worth watching.

As of 7/11/2022 of this review, the average IMDB rating is a 4.8, however the scores are pretty high; based on watcher reviews the score totals 46/60 which would equate to roughly 76.77%, out of 10, that would be a high 7/10

Show is quirky and interesting. Just started watching and enjoying the content. But seeing this score/rainy system makes me think there's something equivocal about other ratings on here for sure.

I enjoyed watching this show. To me it's another step forward to normalize talking about sex and sexual preferences. Communication in a relationship to me is key and that also counts for what we enjoy in the bedroom.

Critics made remarks on the hosts' comments along the episodes. I understand their points however felt like though at times, yes it can be interpreted as clumsy or not carefully thought through, they come from a good place.

This show is not here to win an award but does help to lighten the topic of sex and kinks and communicating them with your partner.
