Fixer Upper (2014–2018)

Fixer Upper posterReview score: 72%

Plot

The first rule of real estate is location, location, location, but what happens when a buyer's only option in the right location is a house with dreadful design and a clunky layout? We say buy it — then fix it! Fixer Upper pairs renovation, design and real estate pros Chip and Joanna Gaines, a hilarious married couple, with Waco/Dallas, Texas-area buyers to renovate the wrong house that's in the right location.
