Watching
The World’s Most Extraordinary Homes is a double-edged sword. You see some mind-boggling architecture in some breathtaking landscapes, and if you’re anything like me, become consumed by fantasies of living your best life sometime in the deep future. The
extraordinariness of it all is likely both your inspiration and your undoing. Will you have the roaring red canvas of the Arizona desert to manifest your dream mansion on? What are the odds of you procuring the tailfin of Boeing for a house with an industrial edge? However removed your current reality might seem from the places and people on the show that airs on Netflix, it will still takes you for a generous spin around the world. Travel ticket-free with hosts Piers Taylor and Caroline Quentin to the emerald forests of New Zealand, to coastal Norway, sun-coloured Spanish farmhouses, and subterranean retreats in Greece. And crank up Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing” once you’re done binging.
