En verre et contre tous

I have zero knowledge of the glass blowing field so it was interesting to see how the objects are made. The contestants are interesting and diverse. It's netflix so it has this edgy feel and I found myself watching the whole first season in a day or two.

I've only watched the first 4 episodes of season 2.

While a lot of the glasswork was spectacular, the pretentious judge lady was insufferable and I started resenting having to zone out whenever she started talking.

I particularly loved how the producers insisted that every woman had to constantly bring up how they were women, and the black guy had to keep bringing up that he was black and the white males had to... well uh, they are white males so apparently they are focused on the glass? It boggles my mind that such a niche skill is apparently the domain of white men? The way they talk about it makes it seem as though the white men of glassblowing are bigoted hate-filled creatures who put roadblocks in the way of any non-male, non-white person who seeks to work with glass... then you see them and they generally all just seem to be nerdy artists who embrace the art of the others...?

No one wants to hear the contestants bad mouth each other or complain all the time. We want to see them work. We want to know what each tool is for. We want to learn something. When will these tv shows get that?

Hope next series will have more feminism related hype words plus don't forget to add some meetoo toppics as well. I have to admit, I'm not art guy and I don't understand contemporary art. But for God's sake, no more feminist, genred-ish bul**its... Don't go with this stream...

Obviously, a relative dying sucks, but it doesn't need to be rehashed over and over again.

The glassblowing itself is fabulous, and I started focusing on just the end products and ignored the journey.

Very talented people. Kudos to them.
