How to Build a Sex Room

I want to give this show the love it deserves. I think it's amazing what Melanie does for these couples and I love the diversity in the show, her design range is incredible! "Sex dungeon" is the cliche and Melanie shows how important a "Love room" is. Absolutely wonderful and adorable and eye opening.

This is a sweet, heartwarming show. I see a lot of feedback about it not being realistic from a functionality perspective. These rooms largely aren't extreme - because a lot of folks don't have extreme sexual relationship. It shows a great deal of restraint, and eliminates a lot of shock factor that people watch reality TV for. I don't know that she's an inspiring designer, but I appreciate her candor, curiosity, and her active listening skills.

The editing (frequently discussed) is non-linear, and sort of off putting at first. It's to drive binge watching. As a psychologist I knew this, and I still binged it.

Consider it a primer to kink, a unique design show, or an exercise in perspective taking. No matter how you view it, it's not perfect, but it's worth watching.

I put this on at random to kill some time and expected to just have it on in the background while I sat on my phone, but I was hooked from the minute the host Melanie opened her mouth!

The whole show is an amazing, Melanie is an absolute legend, her witty banter, her passion for each project, how she really listens to every client's unique wants and ideas, her taste is also sublime! The contractor she has with her (Dave?!) is hilarious and clearly incredibly skilled in making Mel's dreams reality. And the clients themselves are all lovely, unique and diverse people. It was great to see straight couples, gay couples, non binary couples, even a polyamorous group! Rooms for a whole smorgasbord of kink, rooms for passion and lovemaking, each incorporating its clients unique tastes and needs.

Really, this show boils down to celebrating love and the re-kindling of intimacy for those that need a bit of help in that department. Every episode gave me a massive smile and the warm fuzzies from seeing people so happy and in love with each other!

Please, please, please do more seasons Netflix!

As of 7/11/2022 of this review, the average IMDB rating is a 4.8, however the scores are pretty high; based on watcher reviews the score totals 46/60 which would equate to roughly 76.77%, out of 10, that would be a high 7/10

Show is quirky and interesting. Just started watching and enjoying the content. But seeing this score/rainy system makes me think there's something equivocal about other ratings on here for sure.

I've binged 5 episodes in one day and love the diversity of the guests and their needs. The host is very warm and personable. The contractor is easy going and funny. I liked how the needs of the couples (and polycules) are addressed by the host. I felt the need to add a review to counteract the 1 star review from the people who never even watched the show.
