Making It (2018–2021)
8/10
Very feel good and some very cool creations. However...

I really do love this show. Nick and Amy have a great chemistry, as seen on Parks and Rec, and they make for wonderful hosts for this show. I also love that the show is really putting crafting out there, and celebrating creativity.

The show is shot and edited in a very Great British Bake-Off way, and this seems completely intentional. The only downside to this is that the things being made here are much more intricate than baking, and so we don't get to see the majority of the stages that go into each participants creation.

I also think it might be cool if each episode a participant had a short segment where they shared a simple "make this at home" creation. One of the episodes Amber makes a very cool looking stool, which is just a paint bucket and some rope. Having a specific segment for quick crafts for the average viewer would make for a great entry for viewers to get into crafting too! Hell they could even ask you to post pictures on social media, and show them off the next episode!

Of course this all ties into run time though, so it could be a tough balancing act to do either of the things I suggest.
