Eric N @EricNix 09/22/2024 I truly enjoyed Omnivore. It's not only beautiful filmed, it's also educational, enlightening and inspiring. I like how each episode is structured slightly differently, so the show never gets repetitive or boring. There are certain themes that are present throughout, but each ingredient is treated in a unique way. It's interesting the way different styles of farming are compared and contrasted, such as massive U.S. corn production versus micro-farming where tiny cobs are harvested by hand. Some viewers might see the series as being judgmental, but I think it acknowledges the need for mega-farming (feeding the entire world for an affordable cost), versus the need for micro-farming (preserving traditions or, in the case of bananas, ensuring that if and when Cavendish bananas can no longer be produced we have another variety to fall back on). All in all, this series fascinated me. It's definitely one of Apple TV+'s best documentaries. Excellent watch and an 8.8 for me.

Perfect mix of visual gluttony and new perspectives, unlike any other food show I've ever seen before. I absolutely binged it, a must-see!

The shots are incredibly beautiful and the storytelling leaves me with much more knowledge and curiosity about each ingredient. I especially enjoyed Tuna, Salt and Corn. If you’re looking for a show that is slow paced, beautiful and generally fills you with optimism, this is your show!

David Attenborough he is not. Whoever decided to give Redzepi narration responsibilities for this series should forever be second guessed on any and all creative matters. Any moments of visual brilliance or stirring storyline are instantly deflated by the insipid voice that overlays them. Redzepi is at his best, and his dry Nordic charisma most appreciated, when speaking off the cuff. In Omnivore it's clear that while he may have contributed in some way to the writing, they are not his words, and the AI-like delivery only emphasizes this. In truth, the whole production fails to live up the subject matter. Anthony Bourdain famously said he would rather fail miserably than to make competent television. If only the creators of Omnivore had taken the same advice. The storytelling felt forced and the entire production contrived in general. See more Read all reviews
