Tidying Up with Marie Kondo

Very cute presentation of what you can read in Marie Kondo's books. Her method KonMari is explained well on examples. The journey that the participants undertake changes not only their homes, but also themselves. It is lovely show and Marie is just a gem!

Marie is a little sprite of joyfulness - her positivity is fun to watch. The process is amazing and the results are undeniable

This show idea is not a new one. The difference with Tidying Up totally lies in Marie Kondo. There is something quite calming and soothing in watching and listening to this lovely little woman. She is so sweetly motivating and so thoughtful of her clients and their particular needs. There is certainly a spiritual element in her approach. She never judges the clients and their mess, even if some of them are quite huge. I like how her show has a variety of clients in different situations as to appeal to everyone. Each show tends to emphasize something unique that her approach addresses. If you are looking to simplify your life, watching this series may give you some helpful hints in getting started.

I love that this show focuses on useful tips and strategies where "clients" are shown how to make better use of their own resources and objects without themselves or production team spending thousands of dollars on renovations. Some viewers may have difficulty with cultural differences and language barrier. It seems that this is a show more about the philosophy than about home improvement; however, the show does a great job of highlighting the interconnection between clutter and daily stress of clients. Each episode has specific strategies for difficult categories.

The show is a joy to watch, especially contrasted against most reality TV. Marie seems genuinely interested and invested in each participant's success. Participants are also relatable, not just extreme or unusual cases.

It s a solid entry into the quickly growing pleasant/heart-warming reality TV sub-genre.
