Nate & Jeremiah Save My House

I love everything about this show - the fact that they're so attuned to the emotions of their clients, that they're willing to compromise if the situation isn't as expected, and of course the vibe and connection between the two. This seems like the least scripted of any designer show out there, and it's filled with some fairly raw emotion balanced with whimsy. I hope they plan on creating many dozens of episodes!

Many of the reviews here are spot-on. Nate and Jeremiah come across as hot-headed, annoying, and stuck-up, often being rude to the homeowners. In the first few episodes, they walked in and surprised the homeowners and gassed themselves up like they were the homeowner's saviors, and then proceeded to insist the homeowners would have no input in the renovation despite the fact that they were intending on paying for all of it. Just watched an episode where Jeremiah is on the phone and says "this furniture couldn't be going to a better couple" and Nate, standing next to him, makes a face as though he clearly disagrees... extremely disrespectful. At least the renovations (which they obviously take no part in aside from design choices) turn out decently. Was excited to see a queer couple renovate homes, as I am queer myself, but these two just come across as snotty, painfully privileged, and tone-deaf.

This show sucks almost as bad as Nate Berkus does in real life! Nate is NOT a nice person by any means. We hosted a party for his brother and Nate constantly complained about our services and actually demanded we give his brother a full refund. He and his entitled stuck-up husband left the party early. That's when the mood of the room changed and everyone actually started having a good time. At the end of the night his brother thanked us for a great party several times and gave us a big tip. I don't know what his bitterness is about, but I used to be a fan, until I met him in real life and discovered it's all an act. Network's need to stop greenlighting his lackluster, fakeness.

Can't help but wonder about the prejudices of some of the negative reviewers. Brent had a design firm before any of these shows, and he was hired by Netflix to do interior design work. Know what you're talking about before you assume things just because you don't like that the show also portrays their family dynamics.

Focusing on their family is an important part of the show, and it's a part of the show that I love. It's entertaining, and it's like one of the only real same-sex relationships that you get to see on TV, and yet it doesn't feel fake like reality TV focused just on the family (e.g., The Kardashians).

So I've seen several shows already, and like any other home make over shows, it makes for good background tv. What annoys me is the bit narcissistic of the couple. They are being PAID by the homeowners for their service, but yet every show they do this surprise intro as if they are Jesus and Mary. And I just saw an episode last night when they are being paid to renovate a homeless shelter/covenant house. They drove up in their fancy Mercedes G class SUV with an MSRP of $130,000. I get it's their money but that a bit tone deaf.

Also, like other home shows, their always mistakes during the process. But unlike say, an unanticipated bad piping, their are more like wrong measurements. WTF!? And they get a show? They show a clip of them flipping a table with drawers pointing down, almost causing damages. Are they that amateur? And lastly, it always annoying when they are on camera doing work, Jeremiah is always dressed as if he on a fashion runway with a hat. At least chip and Joanna dressed as if they are actually working.

So 1 star for good background tv, and 4 stars because I wouldn't kick them out of bed.
