TV GuideMalcolm VenableMar 24, 2020
Season 1 Review: For fashion junkies, and for people who find Naomi Campbell's shade as life-giving as chlorophyll, Making the Cut is catnip. Just don't look for anything revolutionary. It sticks to a formula, and that's fine. The formula works for a reason. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Making the Cut and Next in Fashion aren’t exact clones, but their differences from Runway do seem reverse-engineered to avoid too much overlap. ...

Season 1 Review: Mass consumption doesn’t make for the most eye-catching fashion, and it doesn’t even make for particularly engaging reality television. Not that “Making the Cut” isn’t enjoyable enough, if only because its rules and paces are readily digestible to an audience that’s long familiar with the formulas that drive the genre. It’s easy to watch. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Some of the designers really do seem like talents who just needed to step into the spotlight. But given those ingredients, it should emerge as something far more lively than the flat, lethargic show it manages to muster. Read full review
