Well, I looked at negative comments and I didn't understand why. It is a good show for me. (actually what do you expect? Watch and enjoy, that's all.) I really love home transformations generally I love watching tlc also but that was a little different. 3rd episode was so emotional. Hosts are annoying a little and I didn't understand unnecessary joy when they were visiting homes,so fake. I watched first 5 min and last 13 min. I skipped construction part and that was enough. This is a good show. Not only hacking the homes, they are creating magical spaces for families. ( actually hacking is something different in my opinion, they really construct from zero in some episodes) I loved it and please do not listen negative comments. It is really not 1 point show.
Did NO post-production person notice how many times they say "hack" AND that they use it incorrectly. I mean, if you want a new drinking game, the show works. I have only seen two episodes but I feel like MIT might be something you hear repeated a lot. I hope they read reviews and make a few changes to the script. It has potential, but I might not make it to episode 3. Some of the ideas are cool, not really easy for the average person to implement. While I like to see it, how possible would it be for others to learn from it and use that knowledge? I wonder if the characters develop a little more, but as of right now, I dont know how much I like them. IN short, STOP SAYING HACK!
Ropes that hang from the ceiling in the kid's room? Spinning mirrors with shelves where bottles can fall off into a black hole and hands can get stuck? Moving closets that can be used as impromptus amusement park rides? Yas, let the lawsuits begin.
And it has not escaped my notice that these homes end up with a lot less stuff than they started with. And where is all this stuff? Sitting in storage containing on the curb, most likely, where it will all be dumped someplace inside the house, and they'll be right back where they started.
Seriously, I do appreciate what the show is doing for these families. But there are so many safety hazards I cringe with each episode.

Except I guess for the first episode, the rest of the "hacks" are just throw away all your garbage, and tear down a wall to have more space and light.
You see families that cannot have anything organized asking for help, when the only thing they need is a proper furniture. I wonder what would be the look of all those places a month after the renovation.
Basically they have more than they can store, so in all the "afters" you see a lot less crap. Like the teenage girl's room. Her room had personality and junk, so they got rid of everything and turned it into some generic Barbie house. Don't talk to me about the guitar storage, it didn't make sense.
Anyway, it is a nice show to watch, maybe get a few ideas, and wonder all the time why are they doing what they do.

I had fun watching the show. It was a welcome distraction despite the fact that the hacks were mostly BS. I mean more than half of the hacks the team came up with were either impractical or dysfunctional or downright dangerous. And the useful ones were mostly very pricey for regular folks. Still it was fun to watch interesting/weird solutions implemented and find some inspiration here and there. But if they make a new season, they should at least avoid hacks moving vertically (and oh my god moving slowly at that). Also, I should say it just hurts to see stools provided as dining chairs, come on team!
