Escape to the Chateau

This show is so sweet and nice. I love it and can't wait to see the next season. They are so resourceful and hard working. I think it amazing that they are renovating this huge home, raising 2 kids and also holding down their day to day jobs also. The pacing and editing are done well and the camera work makes you feels very natural and non-intrusive.

This program both fascinates and delights me. I am amazed by Dick and Angel's transformation of the dilapidated, abandoned Chateaux into a beautiful and loving family home and sucessful business. I am absolutely delighted observing their relationship with each other, their two children and Angel's parents. They appear to be a model of how to raise a loving family in a fun-loving way.

Where I live, Season 2 has just come on air, and we're part way through it. The family, the kids, the in-laws, the vendors, the chateau itself ... all most endearing, and fun to watch how they think something is done and then three more crop up. I loved watching them explore the moat.

But as other reviewers also mentioned, this whole premise that they "have no money" and are "saving money by doing everything themselves" (which may be partly true) is wearing thin when each programme also stresses how expensive the materials are. Not to mention how much the contractors and builders must cost -- even if they are relatives.

Yes, I look forward to see how they turn this into a fabulous money-spinner, but at least at this point in the series they are definitely not doing it without help that never gets acknowledged.

This couple are so creative, so unafraid of the unknown. They make it seem as though anything is possible. It leaves me with such a sense of accomplishment! Whether they are renovating the chateau or hacking/engineering a new heating system, smoker, wedding invitation or urinal, I can't wait for the next episode, and the next, and the next...

The most stunning couple ever . Angel is so talented , Dick a smart hard working man . Love this series .
