rnhealer Review of The World's Most Extraordinary Homes

The World's Most Extraordinary Homes (2017–2018)

Entertaining show, Houses Large and Sterile Looking

[7/10 · 23 October 2020]

I really enjoyed this show. I don't know why so many reviewers disliked the hosts so much, especially Caroline Quentin I thought she and Piers Taylor had very good chemistry. I found her upbeat and entertaining. I don't know why they chose so many enormous rectangular concrete boxes buildings built of concrete dripping with enormous windows with no draperies dripping with white walls and no color and warmt. They didn't look lived in. Many of the obviously wealthy owners displayed very little taste in furniture and lack of art or decoration.and no character. Most of them didn't strike me as very comfortable.But I enjoyed their travels all over the world. I wish they had filmed another season. I especially liked the house that was built into copses of trees respecting nature.and the one that was built into the side of a cliff and the one in Norway on its own island. I can't figure out though where so many of these modern architects got their ideas for houses that didn't look like homes..
