Show more >> Sparking Joy with Marie Kondo is a feel-good series that brings a dose of positivity to the often overwhelming task of decluttering. Marie's charm and enthusiasm shine through as she helps people reorganise their lives. However, the show can feel somewhat repetitive at times, especially if you’ve seen her previous series. The stories of the participants are engaging, but the format doesn’t stray far from the expected 'before and after' routine. While some viewers may find solace in Kondo’s methods, others might yearn for deeper emotional exploration rather than a focus on tidying. It’s an enjoyable watch, particularly for fans of lifestyle shows, but it may not hold the same allure for those seeking more varied content. Show less
