I would have loved to see a fun, soapy, behind-the-scenes tale of what 'really' goes on in a French couture house, but this is not it.

Every character is ripped from the cliché attic: the house's art director is foppish and authoritarian, oblivious to what's happening in the world of style outside his microcosm. His sister, a former model, obsessively records her weight daily in a series of hundreds of notebooks dating back to her glory days. The head of La Maison's rival fashion house is comically villainous.

Then there is the 'new girl', who designs raggedy clothes that literally look like rubbish - but is suddenly appointed the fashion house's new art director because of her amazing talent.

Awful. An absolute slog to watch.

Taylor Tomlinson is a national treasure. She deep dives into the latest internet news, crazes and trends to fuel an endless roster of stupid but mostly pretty funny games for her panel of comedian/actor/celebrity guests to try to win. Points are awarded on a totally random basis, 2000 here, 500 there, whatever Taylor's feelin'. The laughter is genuine, and the audience's pleasure is palpable. The guest lineup has offered viewers some excellent surprises recently, with Mandy Moore, Andy Richter, Anna Faris and Melissa Villasenor among them. The "talk show portion" has morphed into something altogether hilarious. And at the end of the show, there's sometimes TikTok-style dancing. A lot of fun, keep up the good work!
