Chicago Sun-Times Doug Elfman

It's awash in sudsy Bo Derek and Morgan Fairchild, plus a bit of Tippi Hedren. But slow tension fails to fill the first episode, and the acting is a tangle of scorns.

50

New York Post Linda Stasi

Both soaps are perfectly awful on almost every level, which makes them nothing, if not, well, hilariously perfect soap scum.

50

Detroit Free Press Mike Duffy

A glossy hunk of over-the-top, sleaze 'n' tease melodrama.

40

Newark Star-Ledger Alan Sepinwall

[Of the two new soaps,] only "Fashion House" seems to understand that it's supposed to be a guilty pleasure.

38

New York Daily News David Hinckley

"Fashion House" is a passable pop diversion, and a definite curiosity.

25

USA Today Robert Bianco

[It doesn't] live up to its camp catfight billing, in large part because Derek doesn't have this kind of drag-queen Dynasty performance in her. Not only does the role take more than the minimal acting skills she possesses, it also takes a level of on-camera comfort she has never mastered.

20

Newsday Diane Werts

"Fashion House" is a bit more coherent, if still ludicrous.

20

Philadelphia Inquirer Jonathan Storm

Astute observers may find no coincidence that it mimics the American soap The Bold and the Beautiful.

10

Variety Brian Lowry

Passable production values, naughtiness about as salty as an issue of Maxim and some pretty stiff acting provide modest camp allure, but it's hard to imagine either new series qualifying as a so-bad-it's-good guilty pleasure.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Melanie McFarland

OK, it could be better. A lot better.

I agree with Morgan Fairchild. The show is crap. of course Morgan would do the show for cash but who the heck coached her on that laugh at the wedding? It was like a childrens cartoon villan. And poor Bo should forget about trying to act. Yawn.

Samra O. gave it a10:

Tell me what I do to deserve all this hatered. I will act as per my role written by the writer and directions i get from my director. Still if you don't like me you are more than welcome to switch off the TV. But i thank all, who have made me a rage, a sensation overnight, you all have my love. I give my show a 10 all because of me. Keep watching me.
