Constellation: These Fragments I Have Shored Against My Ruin (2024)
Ultimately a study of grief
Forget the sci fi and appreciate the acting of Rosie and Davina Coleman. Whichever actress was on screen in the scene where Alice tells her father that she knows her mother is alive but she accepts that the other Alice will get to have her broke my heart. Viewing the series as one that addresses how people get through grief. The scenes between Alice and her parents in both realities are the heart of the series. I wish that streaming series would be brave enough to makes series with one season. The last scene obviously seems to be setting it up for a second series but I would have been happy for it to finish before the unnecessary "twist".
Next in Fashion: Royalty (2023)
Lost the international perspective, lost the interest for me
What made season one interesting for me was the varying perspectives and personalities that came from having designers from across the world and having them work together. Instead we have contestants only from the USA and working individually. Despite having some big names in fashion involved - Donatella Versace, anyone? - it unfortunately feels like a very generic reality show now. (I did look ahead to episode two and the teamwork is back there.) If it comes back for a third season I would hope that they bring back the international contestants. There's a world of fashion out there. Let's show it.
