Fault the writing and direction as The Collection strives for dark and brooding but rarely keeps it up for long.

It's glossy and murky at the same time, and mostly terrific, again in terms of (even looser) history.

Overall, The Collection is a visually and conceptually arresting drama that shows potential - if only it would deliver more on the inherent emotion of its subjects.

The Collection can be pretty to look at, but first impressions will not lead to second glances.

It's likely that this ambitious drama may pass the British public by.

If The Collection had been satisfied to be a show about fashion, I would be recommending it heartily. Instead, the murky and unnecessary string of overwrought mysteries makes it sadly skippable.
