Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

ghcheese 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.

kagehira HUGE fan of Gordon Ramsay. Watch all his shows religiously, and very often. It's the sort of trashy tv that feels like it's not, really. Gordon's personality really carries the shows he is in... this one is... really...First things first, all his shows are obviously at least somewhat scripted, and I get that. But it just does so many ridiculous things and expects the audience to believe it, things like Ramsay making the "patrons" who were eating there "by chance" not go home and wait 24 hours so they can come back and test the waters. He even tells them to let their families know! It's way too ridiculous, even by reality tv standards. About the 24 hours... I'm really not sure. I think it could be possible with a lot of backbreaking work but all the kitchens shown so far were absolutely filthy, the second one having a very bad rat infestation... I can believe a 24 hour renovation, maybe even a quick culinary crash course for chefs who have lost their spark... but being able to resolve things like infestations so fast is jusy yucky! Another point I'm sure people would agree with is the fact that the sheer grossout in this is overkill. There's enough gross stuff shown in one episode to fit a whole season of Kitchen Nightmares! Seriously, it's THAT BAD. I watch the show online so I've resorted to tabbing out for most of those segments... and they are LONG. Like 10-15 minutes. We get it, the kitchens are in bad shape. This time could have been better used to show the renovation process. I seriously don't want to see rat carcass again.Now for the owners... oh man. Every single one is more depressing than the next. I wouldn't call it exploitive, because I guess the show wants to "help", but it really just makes the show so unfun. First guy's brother dies and it kills his drive, second guy has his wife cheat on him with a 19 year old leaving him with three(!) kids to care for, third guy's son was SHOT and MURDERED and the guy is clearly disassociating the entire episode. Like, downright hard knocks depressed. Everyone is constantly crying and it's such a bummer. The episodes like this on KN were the worst for me, so all the episodes being that cranked up to 11 is so... unenjoyable. These people need more help than just with their businesses...Here's the most important gripe: Ramsay. Man does he take the back seat in this. Him dressing up is pretty fun, but no one is over surprised he's there (cause the show is pretty scripted.. and to be honest all the episodes are so similar from wait staff behavior to how owners act im sure its 90% scripted). He is so drowned out by all the grossout, depressing owners and stupid gimmicks. Seriously. It feels like he was forced to do this show. Maybe if they showed him directing the renovation more... if only... he doesn't even intervene during the cooking lesson! Some random chick, bless her soul, does it... but yeah this show is a MESS. If it gets renewed for a new season I'll be mystified. It's so so so SO soulless.

tacosrocket I love Gordon Ramsay but that family in the first episode was extremely depressing. They are people who need professional help who's private business should have never been flaunted like that on TV. I know that there is always an element of this in 'reality' TV but usually, in my opinion, they leave a lot out and only give a small jist of a family's life but this was just allll hangin' out. Guys, that was not edgy or entertaining that was just depressing. And the producers already know that a TV show can't save restaurants so they're not even trying anymore. And the gimmicks seem... weird for Gordon. Maybe he's losing popularity and needs gimmicks to get viewers but.. yikes.

farhadbhamjee 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.
