    Kondo is not a fraud – she’s genuinely good at tidying and she does have other tips – but it is hard to see the life-changing magic in, for example, reorganising a drawer by placing smaller shallow boxes inside it. The best moments in the show happen between the reconnecting householders in Kondo’s absence. ... There’s a bit of Netflix bloat, too, with the opening episode running well over the typical half-hour limit.

    The show is decent company if you’re just sitting there folding the laundry, and you will be folding it with unprecedented panache--conveying “love to your clothes from the palms of your hands,” Kondo says--if you follow her teachings. Tidying Up is mindless television on the topic of mindful domesticity.

    There’s something about the way in which Kondo explains the goals of her exercises that gets her clients to open up. This is the key difference between Tidying Up and most other reality shows: There’s no sense of competition, and the ostensible makeover at the heart of every episode simply involves regular people becoming happier and more at ease in their own home.
