Harvey Weinstein is gone; the show has moved back to its original network from an 11-year stint on Lifetime. But the biggest change for the 17th season of “Project Runway” (Bravo, 8 p.m.) may be the absence of Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum, who have fled to Netflix for a future project.
The revamped competition for aspiring fashion designers now stars the willowy but not deep Karlie Kloss as host, with former competitor (and fourth season winner) Christian Soriano moving into the advisory Gunn role. Nina Garcia, in fact, is the only holdover; she shares the judges table with former Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth and designer Brandon Maxwell. The prize money has been upped; the show also has a component where viewers can buy the week’s designs. But once more the success will rise and fall on the creativity and personality of its 16 contestants.
No dramatic TV show has been as reflective of the current political scene as “The Good Fight” (CBS All Access, streaming), the “Good Wife” spinoff starring Christine Baranski. Its third season continues the resistance with the addition of Michael Sheen as a shady (and quite hairy) lawyer.
