Hosted by Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman, this reality-tv series brings an exciting competition with some comedy events. There are eight participants in the show who seek to win the title by making awesome handmade things. In the beginning we see a faster craft challenge that reveals each maker's secret beast.
There's a healing in sharing such stories, just as there is in being true to yourself and crafting something beautiful. And all of this is resplendently celebrated in Making It.
By swapping out a generic Hollywood soundscape for a wholesome barn, by trading jerring putdowns for warm uplift, Making It underscores the fundamental lesson of Bake Off...
In the end, Making It is an aggressively nice series, aiming to celebrate the fun of making something from nothing, and Amy and Nick, as hosts, lean hard into the theme.
