I got about 10 minutes into Ugly Delicious season 2 before bailing. David Chang has fully transitioned into an insufferable famous person who thinks we’ll be happy to watch him do anything on TV merely because he’s a famous person.
Look, I get you’re friends with Seth Rogen, but I’m here to watch you do stuff with food!
I know I know, you wife is pregnant, and for you this is a big deal in your life, but how about you show us some more interesting chefs making weird dishes.
He was so good in Mind of a Chef, and Ugly Delicious season 1 felt like a step forward. Since then I’ve not seen him interact with food or anything else related to restauranteering, mainly because I’ve not made it past the first ten minutes of any episode of tv he’s made.
Thankfully The Chef Show has been supplying the fix I need.
If you haven’t already, it sounds like you need to take a trip to the Bon Appetit test kitchen YouTube channel for your food-related video programming.
100% Same. Legit, the only thing I want from Blacklist is a spin-off show of Dembe and Red traveling the world doing stuff. Crime stuff, regular stuff, spy stuff, whatever. Bring Aram, Samar, and Kathryn for adventures.
Has anyone been watching the US version of Lego Masters? The first season finale was last week.
I enjoyed the show, but overall, I thought it focused too much on reality television competition BS and manufactured drama instead of the amazing Lego builds that the competitors built. I was hoping for something closer to The Great British Baking Show or Making It, instead of your typical reality TV competition show.
Agreed, I was definitely hoping for the kinder vibe from it.
I am always impressed by their builds, but also I dislike how compressed the build time is, these are multiple teams spending 5-16 hours building lego scenes and there’s not a whole lot watching people build.
Agree completely! The show seems to be deliberately cutting away from the builds so they end up being a surprise, which is completely the opposite of what I want. Show me how they’re building their challenge, explain to me the techniques they’re using.
We watched one episode of some glass blowing show, and it has the same problem. They spent almost all the time overly dramatizing people who had their works smashed when they dropped it. They spent basically no time actually teaching anything about glass blowing. Much better to watch the Corning Museum of Glass YouTube channel.
Exactly. This is the type of show that I have no interest in. I want to see people build awesome Lego sculptures and learn how they do it. I don’t care about the show’s manufactured drama or Will Arnett’s lame lego-themed jokes.
I rejected this on title alone, didn’t even bother with the trailer. I may reevaluate when someone I trust tells me a bit more about it. Probably after it’s available to watch.
I for one am looking forward to it, because I’m a space nerd and it seems to be hitting on space nerd themes in a “Right Stuff meets The Office” kind of way.
But I’m mostly interested because they got goddamn Noah Emmerich in there. Also Jimmy O. Fucking Yang.
