So it was like this mix of the fulfillment of seeing them blossom, but also this drama of people having to go through this change on camera.

No.

So a lot of people, I don't think, realized Top Model went on as long as it did.

It's 24 seasons.

So I think most of us, a lot of fans that started in the early days, watched maybe the first 10 or 15 seasons in the early 2000s.

I was one of those fans.

But in 2020, people started rewatching the series from the beginning.

As people started pointing out some of the really shocking and sometimes disturbing stuff that happened on the show, I went back and watched some of those episodes.

I don't know if you remember, but on TikTok, people were pointing out things that I remembered them as being a part of the show, but we were talking about them in a different context.

And so I would go back and watch like, wow, I remember Robin from season one.

Robin was the only plus size model on that season.

I remembered her, but I didn't remember...

how poorly she was treated until I went back and watched around 2020.

So we were working on this project in conjunction with another docuseries.

It's actually coming out March 11th.

It's about Top Model.

It's called Dirty Rotten Scandals.

So there were a few interviews that they'd done with some of the models.

And so I jumped in and started talking to them, get a gauge of like how they feel about things, what happened to them.

And it sort of laid the framework.
