The Great Pottery Throw Down

Overall I love this show! It is very much in the vein of British Baking Show, it has a homey, comforting feel, like a warm sweater on a cold day. As an amateur potter myself, I find all the different techniques and methods fascinating to watch. But I think anyone would enjoy this. The production has gotten better with each season as far as camera work and sound quality.

Wish I could rate each season separately, cause 1 and 2 are great. Season 3 seems to be succumbing to the industry push to have younger, more attractive contestants, rather than focusing on talent. Leonard, one of the oldest contestants in S03 was sent off by episode 4, even though he was clearly better than several of the other contestants. And the challenges of season 3 seem to be getting more outlandish, choosing to focus on comical moments and goofy outtakes, instead of the actual process and craft of the contestants.

Hoping this doesn't end up just another cutesy reality show. Producers should stay true to what people liked in seasons 1 and 2.
