Stylish but barely mediocre overall

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

The first must-see film of the year.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

This series doesn't compare to the UK Kitchen Nightmares. This seems to have a lot of unnecessary added drama. More acting then reality. Only thing real was the owners struggles financially and their horrible business decisions.

Well.. after watching all the episodes from the beginning, I'm amazed! This show is something really clever, cringe-watching, intense, terrifying moments to watch and just really filled with emotion scenes.First of all; I'm big fan of Gordon and I just get all that inspiration from this man, I love the cook food too and this just keeps me motivating to someday open my own restaurant, of course in my dreams or future, but still I want that to happen if that's possible.All the episodes are basically following the same routine, Gordon eat's one of the restaurants, cafe's or bistro's etc. Then discovers always something bad, complains how bad food is to the brigade then see how restaurants functions and overall tries to fix everything what's wrong. Simple, but brilliant to watch!There are some episodes, which are really shocking and hard to watch, all the mess and just how bad restaurant's are running these days.It's satisfaction we all get in the end, emotion and I feel great and are just happy how things turn out good. Yeah, I know it's pretty obvious and everyone sometimes think who watch this show, want something different and how Ramsay should approach some situations, that's true. But all the episodes are overall different and not just rushed.. quality delivers and Ramsay doesn't disappoint, all the yelling and confrontations, fights are really intense to watch.Keep this show up the air! I don't want this to never end.My best reality show I ever watched, everyone should give this show a chance. I watched UK versions, but this is so much better and reality is spot-on and everything is so much better and dangerous to watch, all the suffering to the owners and that intense is amazing.If you are not ever watched this show, please watch it, it's just that good. I think I will re-run and watch all the episodes again, heh.

As a professional in the business, I can only cringe in horror as I watch painfully how one individual (in the name of entertainment) can damage, taint, and downright slander the hospitality profession with his profane and crude operating style. No Management would EVER tolerate a chef like Ramsey, no matter how talented he may be. At the end of the day it's about coaching, guidance, mentoring and motivation. Not nervous breakdowns, strain, stress, aggression and vitriol. Sure these places have problems, but the solutions do not lie in a 7 day fix. Clean Kitchens and stores require training, education of hygiene practices, process analysis and much more. For those poor people who were considering working in the kitchen or in the restaurant business, this is reality TV, plumped up with assumption, false premise and downright misrepresentation. Don't let this abomination of a show put you off. The reality in this case is different.

There's some fun here and some interesting stories about the 'behind-the- scenes' of the restaurant bidness....but there's only so many variations that can be addressed in the industry. There's only a few different thing that formulate the demise of a restaurant....after about 5 shows, you've got the point about what goes to crap in a restaurant. I could get into the details of some of the phoniness that Gordon puts on to exemplify the grossness of some of the foods he eats. But it more looks like a desperate attempt to make something interesting out of an idea he knows has a short life span. The show will get canceled in a short bit, you'll see.
