As background,....ice always loved hgtv type entertainment but in the past decade, tv personalities and personal life seems to be more important in the show than actually doing the diy. And showing how it's done is almost entirely absent.
This show feels like a good compromise between old and new hgtv styles. I like the aura that the two main people have. The Hawaiian aspect of the show ads a flare that is not often seen on tv...which adds to the shows attraction. What really elevates the show to me is that the designs of the flips are actually something I would want to live in. Rather than most shows flamboyant takes if design that barely stay relevant the entire season they are aired in. I Ben hard situations in this show are positive yet real.
The only cons I see are the awkward extended conversation scenes. But those could also be apart of why I like the show. It feels more real. Which only leaves the only real bad part which is small...is the horrific squeal chime pulled from the 1990's to emphasize something bad is happening.
