    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I love shows about fashion so I wanted to really like this series. While I found the subject matter and the setting interesting enough,the writing was uneven,the characters simply drawn and the plot-lines overwrought with too many mysterious loose ends. 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    … Expand

    While often a sumptuous watch, it too often strays into the gaudy.

    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.

    The show is overcrowded with mysteries, mysteries that may be intentionally but seem quite unintentionally muddy. In other words, The Collection is, like so much high fashion, great to look at but harder to live in.
