That's a shame. It's kind of a fascinating art that I think is very similar to chess, in that you have to be thinking a dozen moves ahead. I took a series of classes that exposed me to the basics, so I understand the tools and techniques that they are using and some of the why, but I still have trouble seeing the end result and explaining the why of any particular step.
I think all of these shows suffer from this same problem. It shows people performing their art in a very superficial way. I would absolutely watch a show where after each episode each of the contestants made a 15 minute YouTube video walking through their video segments explaining what they were doing and why in deep detail.
The one exception to this flaw I remember was a restoration show on History channel. I don't remember the name... some guy named Rick that liked sleeveless shirts working in the desert.
Anyway, for at least the first two seasons it was great: there was a lot of discussion on how to restore a piece, what it originally looked like, where problems might occur, how to find or make replacement parts, etc., and then showing the actual work in detail. My wife and I both thought it was great.
Then it had the fate of all such reality shows about actually making things: not enough drama. So the manufactured drama and "excitement" started and at that point it went downhill rapidly.
