“We’re going to turn this house into an unlivable eyesore to promote a movie! Don’t you want to watch this trainwreck?” (If that weren’t basically the premise of at least half these home makeover shows to begin with, it might be more tempting.)
Everything I read about the HBO/Max/Plus/Discovery/Whatever makes me think the whole thing just isn’t serious. Constantly changing the name and dropping content… every act seems designed to confuse and alienate audiences.
