Next in Fashion (2020)
Craft corner
It feels like a lesser version of Project Runway. There are some very talented designers but the way it is shot, edited, and the challenges the designers are given, makes the whole thing feel very juvenile and like a big home ec or sewing class. You don't get the chance to really get to know the designers yet the judges from day one are saying things like "this is so them!" It feels disjointed. I will say I like the hosts and the models are diverse and beautiful which adds to the beauty of it all, but sort of just plod down the runway. That Coupled with seemingly cheap fabric and over the top themes... it just tries too hard. Eh. Take it or leave it.
Pinocchio (2022)
Easy and enjoyable watch
I liked it. It's a beautiful movie and it's fun. It was easy to watch and just sort of pleasant, which was exactly what I was in the mood for.
It kind of reminded me of the feeling you get in the Disney parks honestly.
To be fair, I do see why people called it slow moving or even snooze worthy but I didn't exactly turn it on for a riveting storyline or excitement. It's Pinocchio, not The Avengers.
It's nostalgic if you're a Disney adult that grew up watching the old animated version. I don't know that it is really marketed for any demographic specifically except for perhaps that niche, but again, it is what it is and you should watch it with that in mind.
Selling the OC (2022)
Almost unbearable
Alex Hall and Polly make it impossible to watch more than half an episode at a time unless you fast forward while they're on screen. The mean girl energy all for the sake of attention is despicable. I like real estate so I had hopes that there would be actual real estate in this show, at least on the level of "Selling Sunset" which granted, isn't much. But it's almost non existent here.
The hypocrisy starts with the title. They aren't selling anything except themselves and badly at that.
The fact that the main focus is on the two most toxic people rather than anyone or anything else tells you all you need to know about it.
Don't waste your time on this one.
