Nailed It! is hosted by Nicole Byer, with Jacques Torres as star judge. This, however, is not your mother's bake-off show. The premise seems tame enough: three home bakers try to win $10,000 by re-creating beautifully decorated desserts designed by a guest judge. Much hilarity ensues.
If you don't laugh out loud in the first show, you can safely bag the rest; Nailed It! won't be for you. But if you have a good sense of humor, you'll have almost as much fun as the judges and contestants--except you won't have to taste the cakes or get food dye all over your hands and face.
Season 1 consists of 6 half-hour episodes, and I bet you'll end up watching them all in one go, like I did. My husband hates baking contest shows, but he was laughing right along with me. Thank you, Marg, for brightening up my week; I'm passing along the joy.
Here's the trailer for Nailed It!, which really doesn't do the series justice. Just trust me on this one.

This was also sort of the premise to the book "The Art of Baking Blind" by Sarah Vaughan which I really liked, so I guess I am going to have to watch this too - oh wait, I don't have Netflix! But yet another reason to convince my husband we need to subscribe! :--)
