Watch to episode 5 before you make a judgement. This show is an A+ in character development.
*However.* It's weird to surprise the contestants with what the point of the show is (that feels unethical.) They could also use more weeks on the set, instead of a just month, to track out their growth. But if you fix those issues, this is a 5 star show. Literally teared up multiple times watching the contestants grow from the workshops.
I watch an absurd amount of reality TV, so we've got some points of comparison here. Harry's the goat. Season 2 could be really amazing.
