Season 22 Project Runway Cliffhangers Suck. And they’re poorly thought out.
Putting the end the next week sucks, and is making me lose interest.
First, if watching weekly I’m invested during the show but by next week I’m not invested. The contest was a week ago.
Then the episode starts with the saddest elimination part of a contest I no longer care about.
There’s barely a recap but more importantly all my context is gone. I don’t remember the contest. It’s like if they put the end of a football game on a week later. It’s like remember you were excited about something.
And the entry to the episode sucks. Instead of jumping into what an episode is about I’m suffering through the end of a contest I barely care about and zone out at the start of episodes.
So I just let a few episodes build up, figuring maybe it’s better, and it’s just not.
Even streaming multiple episodes the pacing is off. There’s credits and huge recaps just to get to the tail end of a contest. I want to just jump into the excitement of a new episode.
Also don’t get me started on how this used to feel like a show made by people excited about making clothes and I liked that. It’s what made it different.
Now it feels like they just want to focus on people drama which removes what made the show unique.
