It's pretty safe to say that everybody had big plans for 2021—and that doesn't exclude our favorite home improvement reality show network, HGTV.

You may recall that we discussed earlier this year the big plans HGTV had for its programming in 2021—a slate of 16 new shows on deck, including one, in particular, that caught our eye: "40 Year Old Property Virgin." As you can imagine from the title, this show, which just premiered on the Discovery+ streaming network, profiles 40-somethings trying to buy a home for the first time.

We had to tune in—and suffice it to say: We got more than we bargained for. Who knew HGTV was the new destination for cringe? Watch the show and hear our thoughts in this week's episode—and then let us know if you agree: [email protected]
