What to Know

Critics Consensus

Glossy as a magazine cover, The Super Models largely sidesteps the thornier aspects of the fashion world but centers some of its most iconic stars on their own terms.

The Super Models: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Neal Justin Minneapolis Star Tribune "Super Models" is not just a trip down memory lane. These are women who understand that they were the real influencers. Sep 29, 2023 Full Review The Super Models: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Sophie Gilbert The Atlantic The Super Models does have fleeting moments of profundity, which makes it all the more frustrating that it doesn’t further explore them. Sep 27, 2023 Full Review The Super Models: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Linda Holmes NPR If you came of age in the '80s and '90s, the power that supermodels seemed to have was enormous. If you listen to their stories now, it was more complicated than that. Sep 24, 2023 Full Review The Super Models: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Archi Sengupta LeisureByte.com The series is quite entertaining, albeit a bit impersonal, and makes for an easy watch if you have ever wanted to know about these talented women. Rated: 3/5 Jul 5, 2024 Full Review The Super Models: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Dónal Lynch Sunday Independent (Ireland) The biggest stars in the world. This series looks back at their heyday through their own eyes... Feb 2, 2024 Full Review The Super Models: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Pallavi Keswani The Hindu The vulnerability of Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington and Linda Evangelista stands imposing alongside the larger-than-life myth of their careers as supermodels.

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. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/24/23 Full Review Wayne H A great show that I need not know about a lot of these things about these icons Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
