What to Know

Critics Consensus

Neither revelatory nor savory, this long-winded commercial has its fleeting moments of merit but mainly skips the main course on what it's like Being Gordon Ramsay.

Not a Must Watch
There’d be moments where he would be talking about his life and I was thinking, this is fascinating… but the format was wrong. Go to Full Review

Being Gordon Ramsay is an easy watch, but it has little to say about food, little to say about the restaurant business, and little to say about the man himself. Go to Full Review

Instead of any kind of satisfaction, you’re left with the slightly uneasy sense that you’ve just watched six hours of a man who’s spread himself too thin. Go to Full Review

David F @dfulmer 1d I always wanted to know more about this chef, and now I do. See more Melissa W @woody678990 Aug 14 Gordon Ramsay is a bit of an enigma for me. I cannot stand his fake shows where he goes to a failing restaurant, swears at everybody and miraculously turns the restaurant into a profitable business. However, whenever I see him in interviews I always end up liking him. So after seeing him on Graham Norton last night I decided to give this a go. It’s quite good and gives an insight into the real Gordon Ramsay. See more Melissa N @RT27255706 Jul 10 Fascinating a must watch See more David Z @Jared8Z Jul 1 A excellent look at Gordon's most ambitious endeavor along with an in depth look at his upbringing & home life. Is it a 6 part commercial as most of the critics are saying, well yeah, but what's wrong with that. If you enjoy Gordon you'll love this series as I did! See more Monique K @Moniquearuba Mar 4 If you enjoy Gordon’s shows, you will enjoy this one! I enjoyed watching behind the scenes of how crazy his life can be. He’s a wonderful man, chef and father! Extremely intimate moments shared. It showed a side to him I’ve never seen. Nice easy watch. Hope to eat soon at 22 Bishopsgate. See more dave B @RT51811019 Mar 1 As long as you accept that this is a 6-episode Gordon Ramsay TV commercial, you will find this OK. There is a lot of repetition so it could have been much shorter.
