Anyone else get the sense that Netflix's home improvement shows are normalizing religious nutbags? - eviltoast

It seems like they are cutting as much symbolism as they can out of the shots they decide to keep in the show but every other episode feels like " We’re a family with 9 kids and everyone is homeschooled. Oh yeah and we just happen to be active in our church too."

Like, no shit you’re active in the church… Normal people do not have a quiver full of isolated kids like that. It’s not normal or healthy.

    I suspect it’s more of a “who applies to have their homes remodeled by complete strangers” thing. Answer: somebody whose broke enough they can’t do the remodels themselves.

        I’d say not really, no. The majority of people usually budget for these things. Also, the vast majority of people aren’t desperate enough to leave their remodeling choices up to a bunch of whackadoodles on a tv show. (or to have their home be used on TV like that.)
