Mostly tv shows I’ve noticed this, but all the sets and homes look impeccable. Not a speck of dust, not a hint of mess. Even in shows where kids live in the home. Everyone JUST got their hair trimmed, they wear pants at home and always pop in on each other. But the lack of mess is maddening.

Also in period movies and shows, even the peasants are always wearing clean clothes

And wake up in perfect makeup in a setting where having makeup on at all makes zero sense

not sure if a tv thing or american thing but everyone wears shoes indoors

I'm Chinese American, I remember when I visit relatives houses, I always have to take off shoes.

I think the last time I went, I just remember not doing it since we only stopped by for like an hour, but I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure I just got mad I was forced to go to the family reunion thing and I was probably irritated and didn't take off my shoes lol.

American thing i think. I visited family in the US from Canada and they looked at me weird for taking my shoes off when I entered their home.

This is so strange to me. US Americans bring dirt in all rooms of their house, all just for benefit of not being confortable?

There's a lot of variables and it's not just the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Removal_of_footwear_indoors

That's often true but not always, a good set dresser will make a mess if the scene and character calls for it. Typically only for "film d'auteur" though in the more commercial things it's almost always as you said.

It makes me appreciate shows like sopranos where you see an actual maid walking around to explain away the cleanliness, or episodes where Tony lives alone and the place is covered in laundry, pizza boxes and cereal bowls everywhere. Recently my wife has been watching “This is us” and it looks so sterile like a hallmark movie, I hate it.
