Micah Ulibarri (79 KP) rated Nailed It in TV
Apr 17, 2018
This show is incredibly endearing in it's own way. The premise is people who aren't good at baking do some way-out-of-their-league baking. The results are all at once comical and at times impressive.
The show is tacky, but deliberately and very self-aware. That particular attitude is hilarious to me and a big part of what I enjoyed.
The two main hosts, Nicole and Jaques, have very good interplay and we're entertaining. It was especially fun watching Jaques and the guest judges get upset having to watch people flounder through what to them are basic tasks.
Finally, I actually learned quite a bit about baking. I actually wanna give it a try.

Hannah's back and this time baking cupcakes to celebrate the grand reopening of a local hotel turned condos. But when a woman falls from the penthouse during the party, Hannah begins to investigate. Those who love the series will enjoy the latest entry. It's the usual mix of baking and murder and even wraps up some loose ends from the last book.
