Rachel Kincaid Autostraddle The organizationally challenged, overwhelmed and laundry-avoidant people featured on these eight episodes of Tidying Up are us. Oct 26, 2021 Full Review Hank Stuever Washington Post It can sometimes feel as if Kondo and her producers settle for small victories without addressing some of the homeowners' personal issues that still simmer just beneath the surface. Nov 27, 2019 Full Review Harriet Fitch Little Financial Times Like chewing gum, then, there is a satisfying but limited pleasure to be gleaned from this makeover series. Rated: 3/5 Feb 13, 2019 Full Review Ryan Nagelhout Uproxx Watching can be a very soothing experience, and also one that's motivational. Nov 27, 2019 Full Review Tyler Coates Esquire Magazine The personal journeys elevate the series beyond a simple how-to guide, but watching these folks suddenly improve their lives over 35 to 45 minutes is, perhaps, overwrought and rushed. Nov 27, 2019 Full Review Andy Dehnart Reality Blurred It's both inspiring-I wanted to go re-fold all my shirts-and yet instantly boring to watch another person decide what to do with a shirt.

andy h Marie kondo is delightfully adorable in bringing her method to families and millions with her reality tv debut. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review alex v We don't deserve her! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Con mucho potencial pero con una producción muy pobre, es lenta y molesta. Las traducciones al español son incorrectas. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member ONG I am addicted to this series! Marie is delightful and Greg stories are sweet. I wish they edited to show a broader view of the total tidying process, as some episodes skip over important details and steps, but looking forward to more seasons! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member You should really read the book before you watch this show. You won’t really grasp what Marie is doing. Cute show. It the book is way better. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I have been a KonMari fan for almost a year and waiting for this show since the first time I watched the trailer. It released on the perfect time that everyone needs their new year resolution. The show contains a unique Asian flavor that lack of tension and conflict but just fun to watch even all 8 episodes at one time. Believe or not, though you might have to go through the same steps of how to organize your space with every single family, it did help you to stand up after 3 hours couch potato journey supervising KonMari save America. Just follow the Netflix show and go get your tidying homework done, now or never. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
