Case d'avanguardia

I'm not typically into architecture shows, but this series is so much more interesting than displaying fancy homes. It has such a diverse yet universal message about the idea of creating a home that transcends any other show about houses. It reminds me what Chef's Table did for cooking. A great find in a world where shows focus more on the cynical world rather than the hopeful one.

Some of the episodes felt a bit slow and concentrated more on the story of the builders than the actual homes, but the Malibu episode was an inspiring standout. The Skysource invention is brilliant and gives me some hope that there are still amazingly smart people like David Hertz solving problems to give the entire planet a better future.

Interesting to watch, but the people involved seem to have no understanding of reality or care to know what it is like to be the "average" person.

The houses are beautiful/spectacular etc. But the show focuses too much on the owners, if not almost entirely...who are all huge ego's, and love talking about how brilliant they are. With their friends and mothers being interviewed saying things like "he was always different/special" blah blah. Seriously, this is cringing. There are much better shows that focus on the house rather than the person who (barely) "thought" of it.

The series explores different homes as well as its inhabitants that created them around the world.

Before watching the series I must say that I was fairly excited. I'm a big fan of Netflix Abstract series, and when a high quality docu-series about architecture was about to come out by Apple I had high expectations. But I have to say that I feel as if the series is a bit flat, and hasn't managed to get the same depth as Abstract. In the case of Home, I feel as if the creators has strived to tell a more sensational and sentimental story, instead of showing us these homes, how they were built and how people actually live in them. The music can sometimes also be a bit forced. I feel throughout the series as if the music heavily tried to make us feel something specific at any given moment.

I ended the series with the knowledge of a lot of cool new homes, but nothing about how it is to live in them.
