The video quality is quite poor on this season. Someone did not encode this properly for digital playback. The picture becomes fragmented and filled with lines when the motion is fast on the screen. Google Deinterlacing if you want to know more. I bought the first season for on demand viewing, and returned it because it was so distracting.
Good news is that season 2 is encoded correctly, and plays beautifully. If they would re-encode season 1 I would buy it again… hint hint, Amazon.

I love the concept of this show, and it should have been better. But the first episode, with Alexis Arquette as the “celebrity” client set a very awkward tone, and it does not get much better than that. I love decorating, and I love competition shows, so this is disappointing for me. HGTV Next Design Star does it better.

The quality on the computer screen isn’t that good, but if you can plug it into a TV, it works great! You also get used to the quality after a couple minutes.
It is a really good show for those of you who are interested in design. I am almost done watching Season 1 for the second time and will start season 2 for the second time after!
