I've watched 3 episodes and found something of interest in all of them, so thanks for the heads up
@Efemera.
I've watch Project Runway in the past but was very irritated by much of it and this one fortunately doesn't share the major irritations - not that I've seen so far.
Despite the tight time limits none of the garments seem to have gone up with unsightly unfinished elements, the focus isn't all on the emotional jeopardy of the process and the judges don't make 'clever' scathing comments or are generally discourteous to the struggling competitors. I like the fact that the judges are seen talking to the competitors giving positive but honest feedback afterwards and so far I've not seen too much bitching, in fact, the people going out have been either magnanimous or at least without verbal recrimination when the cause of their departure was obviously down to the misjudgement and/or pressure applied by their team mate.
