The Great Pottery Throw Down Season 5 - Release Date, Trailer, And Challenges
British reality shows are far different than what we get in the United States. Whereas we have the likes of "Hell's Kitchen," where competitors race against clocks and risk getting yelled at for doing an insufficient job, British television has "The Great British Bake Off," which is far more easygoing. There are winners and losers like every competitive reality show, but it's so much warmer and more inviting. It's the perfect kind of TV show you can put on and enjoy without feeling the anxiety build up in your stomach.
In that same vein has arisen a new reality show you can put on when you feel like unwinding — "The Great Pottery Throw Down." As the title suggests, contestants are tasked with making the best pottery possible before being judged by a panel of experts. It's a good bit of fun that people in the States can now enjoy since it's been made available for viewing through HBO Max. And with a fifth season on the horizon, here's everything you need to know about the next installment of "The Great Pottery Throw Down."
