Architecte du désir

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.

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!

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!

I want to give this show the love it deserves. I think it's amazing what Melanie does for these couples and I love the diversity in the show, her design range is incredible! "Sex dungeon" is the cliche and Melanie shows how important a "Love room" is. Absolutely wonderful and adorable and eye opening.

I could not stop watching! Wonderful ideas. Ms. Rose is a delight and her carpenter is a hoot. The diverse world of designing for different types of sex and dynamics was a great learning experience.
