To me, this movie is perfection.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

(REVIEW OF SEASON 1-3) I am only reviewing the first 3 seasons not to spoil too much of the show for you. A show like this is the show for food & BBQ fans alike. season one, shows our main and other cookers at different competitions competing with many different challengers to see who is better every episode. it gives the true ins and outs of completion BBQing and the inner secrets, tips, & tricks to use. it was fun and entertaining to see the competition and the arguing. it makes us love the competitors and want our favorites to win. SEASON 2 rolls around and all of that is gone like a brand new show. it feels more like "survivor, top shot, top chief, America's next top model, & American idol" with BBQ. still SEMI good, it lost the lust and drive of the cooks from the first season you loved. some season one cooks do make an appearance on the show (excluding the few who are judges on the show). it feels more rigged and like they are pulling more to the pits then the true competition BBQ. Season 3 comes along and they change it again to make it feel more like season 1+2 combined. judging while at competition events. more and more of things we don't want. if they go back to season 1 style, it would be perfect.
