Clearly, Blown Away takes the work at hand seriously, even though that work is presented in a light, accessible way. Go to Full Review Marc Silver Washington Post 08/19/2019
There's no bloat, no padding. That's why I was, to borrow one of the many, many glass-related puns from host Nick Uhas, blown away by "Blown Away." Go to Full Review Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald 07/31/2019
There's nothing like a reality competition show in which the contestants are genuine grown-ups who have extraordinary skills. Go to Full Review Marty Brown Common Sense Media 03/08/2021
4/5
Fast-paced competition is a fun intro to glass art. Go to Full Review Andy Dehnart Reality Blurred 12/16/2020
Blown Away lacks what other reality TV competitions have, for better and for worse. Go to Full Review Alison Foreman Mashable 08/19/2019
Blown Away showcases the kind of polite civility one would expect from this lot. Sure, there's that tension, but at the show's core is a deep appreciation for the art of glassblowing and respect for the folks who have mastered it. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Daniel M @RT38443527 Jul 20 I have watched multiple creative-like competition shows in the past from forged in fire, Ink Masters and even the great British bake-off From the first 3 episodes I was thoroughly engrossed in the artistic work and the competition of the show, that is, until I continued to watch further... every episode after episode 4 seemed to be following a few negative trends that made the viewing quite unenjoyable. The judging feels quite critical with no substance to the critiques (considering art is quite subjective and personal) with comments such as "we where quite confused with the use of purple as a colour and feel you should have used black instead" The Final 3 episodes seemed like a 'Underdog Wins" type of ending rather than the true talent being displayed and awarded which, for me, shows an agenda that was the undertone of the show. In my opinion this also gives a great Back Hand to the art world. would not recommend as the consistency of the show lacks See more Dan M @RT60292697 01/13/2025 It went from enjoyable, watching various artists create some cool stuff to an obviously fixed agenda. See more Allan F @RT64501668 03/31/2024 Great show! Fun, Artistic and impressive work. See more Alex C @RT08071005 09/01/2022 The hosts on the show bring nothing, they tend to get in the west while the artists are creating. Their critics seem more towards deflating instead of constructive. The contestants had negative personalities, it was hard to cheer for someone. Of the creative competition shows on Netflix this is very near the bottom See more 08/02/2022 Horrendously biased judging. Try judging the pieces "double blind." Please use a specific set of criteria that can be scored quantitatively. Amateurs. See more James M @No_nonsense 08/01/2022 I love this show but what is a let down is the voting off. This concept is silly in my opinion. Score them and at the end of the show choose a winner. The judges are potentially kicking people out without really seeing their full potential. This concept is an old one because humans are like sheep. We copy each other. They copy the same formula because most people can't think outside the box See more Read all reviews
