What: I quite enjoy The World's Most Extraordinary Homes, a British spin on an HGTV-ish concept. The co-hosts are actor Caroline Quentin and architect Piers Taylor. They have an enjoyable buddy-comedy type of rapport, and when Piers is spouting some particularly pretentious pomposity, Caroline is there to cut through the drivel.
[A favorite segment is when Caroline challenges Piers to figure out how to make a cup of tea in a particularly high-concept kitchen. He does not succeed.]
Representative quote, as visualized above:
Piers: Because "rooms," you know, that so 20th century.
Caroline: [channels Jim Halpert in a look to the camera]
How to get it: If you're in the U.S., The World's Most Extraordinary Homes is available to stream on Netflix.
