I've found the tiny house idea fascinating for awhile. As the concept went from a fancy trailer where the occupants would have to borrow utilities and bathroom use from another house to the tiny homes of today where it is its own free-standing home, it has (no pun intended) grown exponentially. This show is a visual storytelling of people who decide to (for mostly economical reasons) go tiny.
The shows hosts are entertaining, although, I don't know if it's just me, but I find the main host John a little bit annoying. Every episode he screams out something about 'tiny homes' and each it seems to be an over the top way to create some sort of feigned excitement, but I just find it annoying. I get this is likely part of the gig, but it feels unnecessary. He also walks through each job site with a selfie-stick and talks about the progress that's been made so far and you get the sense that they'd all rather he go away and let them do their work, but otherwise he's a fairly affable host and the show is an enjoyable watch. The other host, Zack, is less grating and seems to also find John a bit much but it's very much part of the concept of the show, like a big brother and little brother thing. The banter and set up works well most of the time.
One thing I would have liked to have explained is how much of these homes are paid for by the dwellers and if anything is covered by the show. I don't believe anything is paid for by the show, but the way they make adjustments to what's added or how the house is set up seems to be done without consulting the home owner and thus, without concern for the cost. It's a bit confusing.
Other than this, a fun show. Some of the houses are honestly quite amazing. You get the sense that not all the owners will stay in a tiny home forever, but that's discussed openly on the show and cautionary warnings are issued so the show subjects don't get into a concept over the reality.
Worth a watch!
