CHARLY L @RT14894667 Jul 13 I watched Season 1 (tonight for the third time actually) and I forgot what season 2 was like. I turned it on, cause I assumed it was on the same level. I realised within the first minutes why I forgot about it: Season 2, especially in comparison with its predecessor, is, oh I do not even have words to describe, how disappointing it is on every single level. Season 1 had talent, it was interesting, it was creative, critical, sophisticated. The contestants were actual designers, with actual skill and intellect. The diverse range of judges (aside from that Bolten guy) gave knowledgable, thought-provoking and critical reviews of the pieces. I remembered every single contestant from Season 1, this is how high the level was. The episode with Kerby was such an important moment. I do not want to even spend too much time talking about Season 2. It just feels lazy, cheap, fast fashion, superficial, wasteful and just outright boring and irrelevant. Aside from that the craft and care that was so present in season 1 is completely absent. Just heart-breaking what they made of the show. I hope producers will get back to where their heads were in Season 1, I need to see more of that and just hopefully forget that Season 2 ever existed. Please let me unsee this mess.

The designers seemd less experienced than the designers on season 1. They sometimes sent people home that should have stayed over other people. Did not seem fair at times. There was only a few people on season 2 that seemd to be able to sew and construct garments well. If it does come back ever, I hope they follow the season 1 format . So they have more top notch designers. I like season 1 host Alexa so much! She was fantastic and had a great personality to host the show. Gigi is less mature and they were just over the top gimmicky with season 2 hosting duties. I would also say they do not give the designers much time to do things in both seasons. Also, the plant challange in season 2 was an over all bad decision. They probably need a better producer and casting director if they did a 3rd season. I am sore these type of shows are hard to produce since there is so many moving parts. See more Philip O @Philip60 04/04/2023 Boring: hosts, guests, judges and contestants. Don't waste your time on this. Where is Alexa Chung? She made the first season enjoyable. See more Zurie @RT78160232 03/28/2023 Season 1 was great. Low budget ,good quality of designers. On season 2, more budget but the quality of designers are bad ,pretty bad.It seems they were selected base on inclusivity rather than in skills and quality. It was bad . See more Olivia F @RT64639276 03/23/2023 I really wanted to give this one star but then I'd worry I might be guilty of the same problems the show faces in the judgement of another's work based on personal biases and yards of egocentricity. Tan's borderline delusional self assurance no longer has Alexa's cool rational approach to temper it and by the end of episode two I was truly sick of him and Gigi, another chaotic ego, living her fantasy with nothing to offer beyond her own vapid opinion. The scene in episode two when the pair bound into the work room only for Gigi realize that she has torn her trousers, prompting both to skip off with Tan offering to repair them is my review of the show in its entirety. Neither passing any comment on the craft in production around them or giving us or the designers anything at all, the pair embody the self promotion the show tries to pass off as relevance (a classic Netflix production). Gigi, has a lovely leg and Tan can sew, lets not forget why they are qualified to be there. As the first competitor gets asked to leave (something you are forced into episode two to watch) you can see the anguish on his face, and the confusion. Why his design was considered the worst is beyond him (and myself) and the judges insight him little to nothing to explain it either. They don't even give him space to react as Gigi cuts him off midsentence to give him a hug. An interaction which, like the hug itself left me wondering, who does any of this really benefit? I expect a little superficiality from a fashion focused talent show. But without charm I will struggle to watch this show to its end of season conclusion. See more sabrina @RT76406002 03/13/2023 The show is really good and inspiring, but it's very clear that the show also has a political bias and that has a weight on who's the winner and loser on some competitions, which is something really disappointing for me as someone who really loves and respects fashion, I don't think it's fair that the fear of being cancelled on twitter can make the competition easier or harder for the players. And I say that because on some episodes it's very clear that the construction and inspiration of some of the designers that didn't lose is clearly way worse than the design of the one who lost and that is very disappointing.
