If you look an inch deep below the surface of this show, you will be rewarded with beautiful moments and endearing stories.
The diversity of brides is really impressive on this show, and I've only just started season 2. Some women are trying on their first ever wedding dress, some their 30th. I think a common misconception when you see a snapshot of this show is that it's brainless fluff, and orchestrated drama. Gok and all the staff at this bridal shop manage to do something really special.
They reinstall self confidence, they allow women to feel like the most beautiful women in the world. The transformation that some of these women go through is truly heartwarming.
Perhaps as a soon-to-be bride I'm a little biased, but I think there is something really magical about the impact that finding the right dress can have on someone.
For so many women, the issue is self-confidence, body hang-ups, never feeling "beautiful" enough, and yet one's wedding day is perhaps the one day in a woman's life where she truly feels un-self-conscious and unequivocally beautiful. This show is able to produce that spectacular moment for (virtually almost) every woman, and it's so lovely to see.

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!
