jay q @JayWTF 09/13/2022 If not for the subject matter, I'd rate this lower... but I *love* chocolate, so seeing the tricks of the trade was cool. However, I don't like the way this show plays up egos and conflicts -- makes it feel more like The Real Housewives than other Netflix competition shows (e.g., Blown Away, Glow Up, Is It Cake, etc.). And chef Amaury is not a good host. He obviously is a master of his craft, but he has a very flat affect and isn't very engaging. It'd be better to have someone with personality host the proceedings and leave the chef to merely coach/critique the contestants. See more 07/18/2022 Loved it! Really hoping for another season. See more Piotr W @RT80369073 01/12/2022 It's a solid watch but sadly it's let down by the format, which pits the competitors against each other in a typical, tired reality TV style. It's interesting to see the chef's creations and Guichon is a good host, but overall it doesn't stand out from all other cooking shows. It's a shame they didn't follow the "gentle TV" bake off format as this would make it a better watch. See more 12/29/2021 Chef Guichon exemplifies dignified leadership and it was lovely to watch people respond to this by feeling comfortable enough to make changes in their lives whether professionally or personally. All in all this was an excellent holiday binge watch and I would recommend for sure! See more 12/07/2021 Great cooking show. The contestants are all experienced professionals, but you see them developing over the course of the show. The host is amazingly talented and exceptionally supportive and respectful towards the students, while still providing insightful critiques where it's merited. The challenges are fun to watch. They dialed up the drama a bit much towards the end, which cost a star from me. See more 12/02/2021 Great show for people interesting in baking. It covers more than just chocolate. Aumry gives gentle criticism in a way only the French can do, but makes it clear that even though this is a competition, it's also a vast learning experience for the professional participants. If you like the more civilized shows, like The Great British Bakeoff, then I think you'll enjoy this as well. See more Read all reviews
