I found the series incredibly inspiring and makes design very approachable and informative for non-design viewers. Yes, there are aspects about design as a trade that weren't documented and glazed over but I seriously doubt anyone who isn't "obsessed" with all the day-to-day work would stick around through all the episodes if that were the case. I never once got the impression that this chalked design up to just art or even remotely compared it to something as subjective as art. Why can't we all just enjoy the great storytelling, film work, and the fact that we live in a time where design just got a documentary made about it? This article, although well-written, just screams insecurity.
