The best makers from around the country take on a series of handmade projects they must complete in their own unique way. As the competition goes on, the challenges become increasingly difficult, and the least successful maker is eliminated each week. The show culminates in a final craft-off between the last two makers.

Audience Member I guess if I wanted to watch Amy and Nick talk about nothing the entire time...it would be awesome! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I love Amy Poehler. I love Nick Offerman. The two of them on this show were absolutely cringeworthy. Whomever is responsible for writing the ridiculous dialogue the actors were forced to infuse with energy should be fired. The stuff the contestants made was neat to see. I found myself fast forwarding through the hosts anytime they spoke. It felt like they were playing characters instead of themselves. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Only Amy and Nick could pull this show off the way they do. Very happy they are on this project together mow as they have the best dyanmoc. Love them!! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member A feel good, heartwarming show that we all need. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I really enjoy that this show is so upbeat and positive. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This show is amazing!! Amy and Nick are the best host duo ever. They are so funny. Also just love how all the contestants help each other when doing crafts. That’s not something you ever see in any competition show. This is an all-around feel good show Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
