Every week two teams of "makers" vie to create a specific room in steampunk style. None of the contestants is particularly talented, likable, or has any sense of victoriana. Despite a "junkyard" of usable stuff, few items of interest are chosen. The "makers" focus only on individual interests and have little sense of team cooperation and cohesiveness. The end result is a boring room with one lackluster mechanical feature. Every week the judges have a hard time declaring a team winner and choosing two team captains for the upcoming week. Their options are seriously limited--rooms are flawed and no one creation is a standout. If you are trying to grasp the essence of steampunk, this show will only further confuse you.
