Tidying Up with Marie Kondo will convince the most cynical among us that it’s reasonable to derive joy from every single thing in your house, and that anything you’re hanging onto that doesn’t provoke a joy reaction should be seriously held to account. ... What’s interesting about Tidying Up is that it isn’t especially voyeuristic--and that seems to be what makes it work. Read full review

Considering that this show is the literal equivalent of watching other people clean their houses, something I barely want to do myself, it is far more absorbing and interesting than I expected. ... You don’t want to recognize yourself in these “untidy” people who can’t bear to part with maternity clothes or high-school notes or the 85th nutcracker they collected. But you will. Read full review

There’s something about the way in which Kondo explains the goals of her exercises that gets her clients to open up. This is the key difference between Tidying Up and most other reality shows: There’s no sense of competition, and the ostensible makeover at the heart of every episode simply involves regular people becoming happier and more at ease in their own home.

The show isn’t all that revelatory, but it certainly qualifies as a fine New Year’s Day binge for people who intend to drag the Christmas tree to the curb sometime before Easter. Read full review

By eschewing the typical extreme-makeover excesses, the highest-high inspirations and lowest-low humiliations that we’re used to from our reality television, Tidying Up showcases a kind of gentle moderation that should make its star proud--and leave everyone else mildly underwhelmed.

It may not provide much in terms of tips or motivation (watching Netflix kinda implies that the viewer is chillin', by definition) but it does spark a glimmer of inspiration and yes, some joy, much like its happy and gay counterpart Queer Eye. Read full review

Kondo is not a fraud – she’s genuinely good at tidying and she does have other tips – but it is hard to see the life-changing magic in, for example, reorganising a drawer by placing smaller shallow boxes inside it. The best moments in the show happen between the reconnecting householders in Kondo’s absence. ... There’s a bit of Netflix bloat, too, with the opening episode running well over the typical half-hour limit. Read full review

In spite of spending so time, I didn’t get to keep it organized during the week. Besides, I was in a bad mood and I started to thinking whether there was some relation between to keep your house in order and feel happy.
Therefore I looked on the Internet some information about my theory, and it was con-firmed. Experts say that the house’s atmosphere is important so that you can feel better. After that, Marie Kondo crossed in my path and gave me the clue.
Who is Marie Kondo? She is a home organization consultant, who explains her method of tidying, called Konmarie, through this series. In each episode, she explains different tips about be well-ordered. Her main idea is that you must keep only things that provoke a joy full reaction. If you don’t feel this you must get rid of it.

Boring, terrible show trying to capitalize on the popular book. I skimmed through several episodes. I watched one episode completely.
