Created by Ava DuVernay, a social experiment focuses on real families of different backgrounds who experience a new way of life when they trade homes. The participants boldly step out of their comfort zones, taking part in each other's daily routines, getting acquainted with new friends and neighbors, trying unfamiliar hobbies and more. Afterward, the families come together to share stories as well as their new perspectives and learnings. Their emotional, inspiring journey begins as a celebration of differences, but in the end, it might just reveal that they have more in common than they think.

Daniel D'Addario Variety 10/14/2021
This is a low-fi, comforting watch that is persistent and pleasant, built towards small-scale acknowledgments not that our differences are jarring but that our similarities are fundamental. Go to Full Review Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter 10/14/2021
It's an earnest attempt to actualize that old maxim about walking a mile in someone else's shoes - and if it doesn't go quite as far as it could, the steps it does take feel like ones toward a more welcoming world. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 10/25/2021
Home Sweet Home is not a reality show where you watch for the "gotcha" moments. But there's more than enough interesting scenes in each episode to give the viewer a nice, heartwarming family watch on a Friday night. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 10/21/2021

These are positive things, but Home Sweet Home glosses over the uncomfortable but important conversations about unconscious bias, and it fails to fully address how this quietly surfaces in different ways during each experience. Go to Full Review Dominic Patten Deadline Hollywood Daily 10/16/2021
The savvy, but truly sweet, Home Sweet Home has a keen and compelling counter-programming edge. Go to Full Review Andy Dehnart Reality Blurred 10/15/2021
