Review: Netflix docuseries highlights the ugly truth of ‘America’s Next Top Model’
DHAHRAN: Out this month, nearly a decade after the successful show went off air, there is understandably a lot to unpack in Netflix’s three-episode documentary series “Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model.”
Premiering in 2003 and running for 24 seasons until 2018, “America’s Next Top Model” invited aspiring models from across America to compete for a coveted modeling contract, and a glossy magazine cover (remember those?).
All this while juggling growing pains, random challenges cooked up by producers, marvelously messy makeovers, photoshoots, and living — and competing — with fellow contestants.
What could go wrong? Turns out — plenty. The show’s intimate format made for compelling TV.
