    In a show otherwise devoted to clean lines, sumptuous textures and nuanced colors, the life of its characters is one tangled mess. It’s all very engaging, of course, as are a number of the ancillary characters. ... But more than a little of the dialogue clashes, like stripes and plaids, with the overall authenticity of The Collection.

    While this is hardly the first complicated sibling relationship in a TV series, this one has the overlay of unspoken things both men apparently felt extraordinary circumstances had forced them to do.

Mr Goldstick can sometimes write interesting dialogue, but too often his story development skips steps or seems to come from an unknown motivation. He might have been better served by limiting his storylines to the Sabine families indiscretions during the war and how their collaboration with the Nazi's provided the impetus,desire
    and motivation for them to create a fashion house which sought to both insulate and promulgate a societal change in post WWII Paris. That having been said, the style of the show outshone the substance and the acting was uniformly good. Worth a watch, but keep expectations at bay    … Full Review »
