Hack My Home

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.

This show is charming, kind of like Queer Eye but for home solutions. I do find some of the hosts a tad annoying, but I have seen much worse (plus I'm British, so my threshold for American TV presenters is pretty low).

The best parts are the first 5 mins and the last 5 mins - meeting and family and their problems and then going through the final reveal. The bit in-between is where I tune out and scroll through my phone and glance up everytime they say "HACK!" And that's fine, not every show has to be a 5* blockbuster.

The designs are pretty clever, and there's 4 hosts with different things to consider so they all work together to make sure things are safe and functional.

The styling is a bit underwhelming, but for a (presumably) free makeover (money is not mentioned once in this show) it's not bad really.

Everyone in the reviews asking "why don't they just move house, why did they have so many kids" is so ignorant. There are tonnes of valid reasons for people to upgrade their current home than move to a different one.

The very best part is the joy of the homeowners when they see the reveal. It's really humble and heartwarming. I would continue to watch this forever if I could!

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!

So tired of every little thing now being called a "hack" & since that is in the name of the show they say it every few minutes. There were good, creative ideas, designs, & innovation, so please call them those grownup things, & not "hacks". The show tries too hard to make their hosts interesting by making them look & act eccentric & kooky to the point of it being fake. Ati Williams is the only one of the hosts who came across as real & personable. Kudos to the actual carpenters behind the scenes that do the actual work.

I would love to see the condition of the house in the first show a few weeks later with the 4 out of control boys who had no respect for anything. They were too old to be purposely dumping paint on themselves in the workshop - no adult tried to reign anything in. There's a difference between being creative & just allowing them be messy & rude. I wonder how long it was before one of the boys squished one or more of his brothers with the push button moving wall in the kids' tv area or jammed it up because of toys underneath? With all the moving components, the space only works if the kids are taught how to help pick up after themselves. They need to have respect for their home, the space, the things in it & their parents. They didn't have it before, so they can't learn that with the nice space given to them if they are never taught or made to be responsible.

Not sure if I will watch more episodes, there was a lot going on that was hard to stomach.

Literally the most annoying thing about this show is the absolutely unbearable use of the work "hack" to describe every minor thing that's changed. It's honestly not a bad renovation show and they do some unique things but it's like the producers have them a quota for the word that they must make or the actors will be tortured. We put added a lamp to this room, hack! We threw out all the garbage you had over here, hack! Bought you a regular desk from Walmart, hack! Just let it flow instead of trying to force the use of one particular word over and over. Especially when it almost never even applies.
