Trixie Motel (2022)
3/10
Not sure who this is for
16 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Trixie is an acquired taste. She's also the most interesting and engaging personality here.

The GM is so smarmy it's hard to hear what he's saying.

The Interior Designer is one of those vapid Cali types who confuse garish with lively and tasteful.

The rooms, while all colorful, lack much in the way of coherent and cohesive design vocabulary.

They all sort of look similar.

And while Emily Hampshire is game, the sudden swerve into situation "comedy" was uncomfortable to watch and sit through.

The other stunts, from blasé marital sadness, to guest "stars" who are mostly bottom rung LGBT "celebrities" who you'll forget almost before the episodes are are over, remind you that there's other, better, shows out there to watch.

This makes me long for literally almost any other renovation show on Discovery+.

And the direction and cinematography is so obviously not directed at the LGBT audience.

It lacks verve and visual interest.

Not recommended to anyone who isn't a huge Trixie fanatic.
