Reception

Reaction to the series has been relatively positive, with a rating of 80% on Rotten Tomatoes.[4] It is praised for its high-quality cinematography and compelling, human-centered narratives but criticized for focusing on particular issues rather than providing explanation for wider industry problems,[5] or giving the viewer answers as to which brands and products are unaffected by the issues the series presents.[6]
