There aren't a ton of shows out there that you can watch safely with your kids, so when "Lego Masters" popped up a couple of months ago, we were thrilled.
The program featured teams of two working together on various challenges, with inevitable "twists" thrown in, then the resident Lego Masters decided which builds were best or worst. It was fascinating to see how the different duos approached the challenges -- some relied on mechanical proficiency, others played up color and artistry, and others went for pure scale.
Will Arnett was the perfect host, blending a passion for Legos and recognition of the technical abilities with his customary hilarious schtick. However, Lego Master Amy Corbett stole the show in many quarters (especially with the Princess Leia sidebuns). A statuesque 6-2 engineer with a Scottish accent and a love of nerdy toys? Yes, I can see how she would appeal to
***Spoiler alert***
Unfortunately, toward the end of the season, it felt like the network got a bit swept up in the Tyler and Amy Lego-pregnancy storyline. This pair was a bit of a one-man show and was slated to go home the week prior before the program switched gears and ended up not sending anyone home.
So imma letcha finish, but Mark and Boone got absolutely screwed. This team not only dominated the competition start to finish, but had a ton of personality and the best blend of technical mastery, artistic vision, and execution. Honestly, it wasn't even all that close.
Despite the massive disappointment of the finale, all in all, "Lego Masters" was a super-clever show for all ages. Hopefully, there is another season that rewards the most talented builders and not the most appealing backstory.
