Community Reviews
Viewers find 'The New Look' a visually appealing series with a talented cast, particularly praising performances by Ben Mendelsohn and Juliette Binoche. While the series ambitiously explores the complex lives of fashion icons during WWII, some feel it deviates too much from fashion itself, focusing heavily on historical events and personal dramas. The series is noted for its elegant production but criticized for its pacing and some unconvincing flashbacks.
👍 Stellar performances by the cast
👎 May stray too far from fashion focus
