Anyone watching the Netflix documentary on America's Next Top model? Loved that show in the 90's as a teenager, but in hindsight it is problematic - should we be judging it now or was it simply a 'different time'

There’s a harsh review of the show (the original, not this documentary but due to it). The answer is no, pushing young girls to extremes and lack of care for their MH, was never ok. The modelling industry is still pretty predatory and they did nothing to change that perception or reality.

Havent finished the documentary but feels overly critical of Tyra and not about the industry as a whole, which i doubt has changed that much
