    Reception

    [edit]

    Angie Han of The Hollywood Reporter gave the series a positive review writing: "It’s valuable as the start of a larger conversation to be had about the hidden dangers of the beauty industry, for consumers and viewers alike."[3] Joel Keller of Decider also gave the series a positive review writing: "Not So Pretty presents some pretty harrowing information in a tone that’s less hectoring and more sympathetic. By playing the, “hey, we didn’t know, either, buddy” card, its message is even more effective."[4] Conversely, Kyndall Cunningham of The Daily Beast gave the series a negative review writing: "What you’re supposed to take away from the series as a consumer can be confusing and overwhelming at times."[5]
