Being able to create amazing Lego creations is like singing, or playing the piano. I'm always envious of those who can just sit down and play the piano or sing any song well. I feel the same way about people who can come up with amazing Lego pieces. It's takes a very special talent to be able to do any of these on the fly. I love watching what people are able to create without instructions. I personally need a step by step guide to put anything Lego item. Together. Those who can think out of the brick box will love this show. My son loves Lego and Lego has been a very important influence in his recovery from a TBI. Lego has allowed him to relearn hand/eye coordination and patience. Since his accident he has built many sets as it builds his self esteem. For these reasons is why I like Lego Masters a lot. (I'm a big Will Arnett fan so that helps this show imo).
Yes, LM has all the reality show tropes we know such as commercial break teasers, unnecessary built up drama, feel-good contestant stories, celebrity cameos, cheesy writing, fake out elimination rounds and more but it doesn't take itself too seriously. Will Arnett calls that self deprecation out when it happens too. I only wish that when contestants won a round that they would receive something more than a pat on the back. I wish they would win a little something for the weekly challenges. There is a "golden brick" a team can win and use as immunity but that only comes into play once per season. What this show is all about, though, is the Lego creations. There are so many amazing works that come out of the heads and hands of the contestants here. The first season has had the best ones yet probably because we aren't expecting the types of work that get turned out week after week. I'm worried that LM will run out of modeling ideas soon. We have watched a lot of creations get blown up, dropped, smashed, uphold to 60mph winds, sustain a ton of weight, wrecking balled, bucked off by a bull, etc. I don't know how many more way we can watch Lego get destroyed. I credit Will Arnett for keeping us interested in watching week after week. A lesser host would probably not be able to keep our interest season after season.
