L'art du rangement avec Marie Kondo

This show idea is not a new one. The difference with Tidying Up totally lies in Marie Kondo. There is something quite calming and soothing in watching and listening to this lovely little woman. She is so sweetly motivating and so thoughtful of her clients and their particular needs. There is certainly a spiritual element in her approach. She never judges the clients and their mess, even if some of them are quite huge. I like how her show has a variety of clients in different situations as to appeal to everyone. Each show tends to emphasize something unique that her approach addresses. If you are looking to simplify your life, watching this series may give you some helpful hints in getting started.

I find Marie to be a calming and sweet host and I really don't mind the subtitles. I appreciate that she doesn't shame the families she's working with, and I like that she doesn't force them to throw everything away in 48 hours or something ridiculous. A sweet, simple, and realistic show.

Very cute presentation of what you can read in Marie Kondo's books. Her method KonMari is explained well on examples. The journey that the participants undertake changes not only their homes, but also themselves. It is lovely show and Marie is just a gem!

Loved the first episode the Friend family so adorable for a reality show it seemed quite genuine and believable. Marie has a great aura and personality its no wonder she has become such a global phenomena. Did struggle with the sub titles I wish they would put them in black background impossible to read most of the time. LOOK fwd to watching other episodes.

The Japanese are a spiritual people who anthropomorphize inaminate things. They will thank the warmth of sunlight, turn a tea bowl so that the "good" side faces the other person, and they are very attuned to physical and atmospheric elements. So when Marie suggests thanking a piece of clothing that one is discarding, it makes perfect sense.

She is adorable. And as for the language barrier-- English is one of the most difficult languages for an adult to learn. Kids who are taught English in school are really lucky. But English, unlike most other languages, doesn't follow standard and consistent rules. It's very difficult to learn compared to other languages. Japanese might be one of the easiest languages to learn. So don't get down on Kondo for not being fluent in our language.
