>"In this light, Netflix’s latest reality show, “Get Organized with The Home Edit,” should be positively Freudian. It is named for an organizing agency, founded in 2015, by two friends who met in Nashville, Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin, and who serve as the show’s hosts. In each episode, they take on two tidying projects, one for a celebrity—like Reese Witherspoon (also an executive producer), Khloé Kardashian, or Neil Patrick Harris—and one for a normal family, whose home is much messier. Along with their team of assistants, who all have the same wavy haircuts and branded black outfits, the hosts transform cluttered kitchens, offices, and closets into rigorously ordered spaces. Their main tools for doing so are vast collections of shelves and storage boxes, which the organizers stack and nest infinitely. In the parlance of the show, these devices are called “product,” the way hairdressers refer to conditioner or traffickers to drugs. Both hosts buzz with energy-drink fervor, but Teplin is usually optimistic whereas Shearer is the Daria of home organizing, doubting strategies or freaking out over deadlines. They offer a stream of cleaning platitudes like “small items don’t mean a small job” and “choose between the item or the space.”
