I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

One of the best films i have seen

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

The judging on EDC is clearly corrupt. There was no reason for Sef staying until the finale. They clearly wanted to build the TV drama, and besides, they aren't very good at judging either. Not to mention the fact that Ellen has her name in the title, yet appears about once per season. If the judging were not corrupt and the judges considered all pieces going into the finale, and didn't just include Sef for drama, Miles almost certainly would have won, not Vivian. Sef won once, with a crappy table on week 2. Miles and Vivian both won twice. Even when Sef did win on week 2, Mile's bar chairs looked so much better. Sef made many nasty comments about other pieces, despite the fact he had to cheat to not be eliminated, and was not at all nice when he was with Chip. He completely ignored the judges advice, and for didn't even make a couch. He made a bench. Kyle, who actually made a decent couch, was eliminated. Oh yeah, he also cheated on dresser week, and the film crew recorded it. He stayed. The judges clearly wanted to build the drama on the show to attract more viewers, but it completely backfired, turning people away and writing reviews like this about their corrupt judging.

So I enjoy the work of the designers on the show - and the innovative and forward thinking designs!In the last three episodes I watched - where's Ellen? The periodic video clips of her I don't find amusing, and really destroy the vibe of the show. After watching the show it became VERY obvious that they are just using her name to create interest - or is it the other way around??? If the show is named after her, I would expect her to be an ACTIVE PART of the show and expect to see her every week - otherwise, take her name off the show and eliminate the annoying video clips with her. Doing that, you'd have the same, if not, a better show.

i had looked forward to this but Jeez, the problems. It's sad because the designers were talented. First, if Ellen can only pop in for one or two shows in her usual "outfit" to try and be funny then why call it her show? Second, the judging was almost exclusively female with phrases like "too masculine" heard frequently. Thirdly the judging was far more subjective than objective, the goal was furniture design - not satisfying individual taste.Then the finale. The best two made it but the "disqualification" was dumb. Tim has a huge business and has designed numerous pieces. Yes, the pieces resembled one another - except for the lay of the wood, drawers, legs, lines and size. LOL

I am disappointed in the show. I completely understand that Ellen is a very busy person. BUT when you have a show and it is named after you, one would expect a large presence on the show. I am an EXTREMELY devoted fan of Ellen and I have seen all of her work. This show goes outside of my interest but since it was Ellen I have been watching. If she does not have a larger presence, I will probably stop watching. Design is a passion of hers and she should be present throughout the show so that her appearance does not distract from the show. She is the most talented person in Hollywood but I hope she does not just become a brand without a face to it.
