Tidying Up with Marie Kondo

Loved the first episode the Friend family so adorable for a reality show it seemed quite genuine and believable. Marie has a great aura and personality its no wonder she has become such a global phenomena. Did struggle with the sub titles I wish they would put them in black background impossible to read most of the time. LOOK fwd to watching other episodes.

I find Marie to be a calming and sweet host and I really don't mind the subtitles. I appreciate that she doesn't shame the families she's working with, and I like that she doesn't force them to throw everything away in 48 hours or something ridiculous. A sweet, simple, and realistic show.

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.

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.

This is a solid show. Disregard those whiny imbeciles at the bottom complaining about "language barrier". That's your big complaint? Reading text? Give me a break! This show is a good incentive to clean up for people who are dealing with clutter and organizing issues. I understand reality shows get a bad rep but this inspires people to change their lives for the better. All for it!
