Murder House Flip — Season 1

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Murder House Flip's renovations are decent, but lackluster hosts and an underwhelming commitment to its macabre premise make it a weak addition to the genre.

Mark Kennedy Associated Press 04/06/2020
It's macabre and, at times, almost seems to mock HGTV's huge swath of programming. But the result of the first makeover (which takes three episodes) is breathtaking. Go to Full Review

The sheer absurdity still threatens to overwhelm, at least until the autopilot takes over and everyone starts talking about the feng shui of patio furniture. Go to Full Review

3.5/4
There's a potential breakout hit in the bat-bleep crazy, borderline tasteless and I must admit utterly addictive... So nutty I had to check, double-check and triple-check to make sure it was a reality show and not a spot-on parody. Go to Full Review

8/10
An ingenious combination of two addictive genres - true crime and home renovation - Murder House Flip is one of those ideas that seems so obviously interesting, it's surprising it took someone this long to invent it. Go to Full Review

05/31/2021 This show is exceptional. The greatest asset is the cast! The obvious professional chemistry between them is obvious. They turn tragedy into triumph. I have to believe that they help these families and the the community in ways we can't even begin to comprehend. This is a must watch. See more Read all reviews
