Diane B This wasn't a docuseries, this was a valentine. If it were a documentary, it would have taken favorable and critic looks at each women, the fashion and modeling industries, and society. It didn't. It's a multi-episode puff piece. It seems that Christie Turlington was the only one who prepared herself for a life after modeling. She comes off as the most authentic and likable of the four. The comments from Naomi, Linda, and Cindy seem scripted and reviewed by their PR and legal teams. This seems especially so of Linda who was embroiled in a lawsuit at the time of the filming. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/11/25 Full Review INSPRE In the first episode when Cindy Crawford complains that Oprah complimented her body I had a problem with how she threw another woman under the bus. It rubbed me the wrong way. Both women are living in the same oppressive, second class citizenship status in the U.S. In the interview she gives herself a pass ("at the time I didn't think anything of it") but if she would have just been a little more conscious she would have understood MOST women wouldn't have thought twice about it. Oprah was giving her a compliment, in spite of herself. Cindy should have extended the same grace she gave herself to another woman. But she didn't. She said..."this was Oprah." Conflating the Oprah that we know today, one of the richest most influential women in the world, with the Oprah that appeared in the video, a local Chicago day time talk show host who no one had heard of yet. The show is good, but as an African American scholar, professor, womanist I'm disappointed but not surprised that she would be obtuse in a really nice jacket. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/27/23 Full Review Nina W I enjoyed the nostalgia and background stories of the models very much and you realize what normal lives they lead growing up. I wonder why Yasmeen Ghauri wasn't included. She was a pakistani model who was amazing. I know she has remained mainly out of the spotlight focusing on family so likely she didn't want to be part of it maybe? Great trip down memory lane! These models were iconic. I remember flipping through the pages of Vogue and admiring them so and they were role models to me! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/04/23 Full Review J M This was a mostly interesting series and it was nice to look back on this pet of the 80s/90s. However, it does serve as a bit of a puff piece, as most of these nostalgic 90s documentaries have, particularly in regard to Naomi Campbell. She really hypes herself up and doesn't really take accountability for mistakes she may have made along the way. I came out of this really loving Christy Turlington thought, who I previously knew very little about. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/30/23 Full Review Megan e This was really fascinating! It brought back a lot of memories from my childhood. There were attempts to address the sexism and ableism, but I wish that had been explored a bit more. Definitely worth watching! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/26/23 Full Review Lora M The first two episodes were very nostalgic then it's gets deeper into their lives and the industry. I liked it.
