Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

I've enjoyed Kitchen Nightmares since the earliest British episodes, and the format tweaks in the new series represent a considerable 'improvement for the worse'. The false jeopardy of doing the shows in 24 hours makes the whole thing seem frantic, and there is no chance to assess what has happened - for either the restaurant or the viewer. Visiting the restaurant in disguise is a stupid gimmick; it's not as though restaurants in previous series had been able to deceive GR about the quality of the food! I'm only thankful he didn't try to do the accent.I feel as Coke fans probably felt when they changed the formula: something I thought I could rely on has let me down.

Every show has some guy who feels bad about something from his past so he lets the restaurant go. Then after showing us what is wrong Gordon later has a one on one heart felt talk so everyone feels happy. Then everyone does what they are suppose to do and things run better. Totally GAY! I want to see a Kitchen Nightmares. Not this let's feel better crap. There was another chef who had a show like Kitchen Nightmares and he did the same thing. I want to see them work the kitchen. Not go you a psychologist. I'm done watching this show. Gordon is loosing his touch.

I didnt think it was too bad, scripted and rushed but good nevertheless. I feel like there was an element missing however. Maybe that element will reveal itself in later episodes.

It was not horrible, nor was it great, but it seemed more of the same as it was basically, "Kitchen Nightmares" but with the lame twist of having only 24 hours to revamp an eatery. Things seemed rushed, people MUST have been very tired doing this overnight. The set up of the show is that a failing eatery is supposedly being filmed for renovation, but unknown to them, Gordon Ramsay, is really doing his typical Kitchen Nighmare show instead. When they revealed it was actually Gordon, there was not much surprise shown, and the entire show seemed a bit set up and fake in some ways. Maybe the idea is just getting old, or maybe it never was all that real to begin with, but the drama seems way over the top, and everything comes together too well in most of these shows. Not a lot of finesse and just comes off seeming staged a bit.
