Too many fans seem to be blown away

terrible... so disappointed.

Just perfect...

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

It's super interesting to see any of the chapters, it's more than just a show about food, its about art and life. Its about the lives of these chefs, what makes them unique, how they are changing cuisine and what being a chef means to them in a very different way.Its beautifully filmed, the plates, the ingredients, all the images you see transport you to their restaurants. Though i was disappointed not to see ONE french chef!!!!! , I mean at least one chapter should be filmed in France!!! It's only my point of view, because I have been there and what they are doing there its like nowhere else. There's definitely french chefs showing a new way to cook french food, and I feel not metion them, it doesn't make sense to me. Its like talking about arts like painting or literature, you have to talk about victor hugo or monet. Let's talk about the french young chefs that are working hard on the field too. In just 2015, from all the chefs with michelin stars in the world, in the top 10, you have 6 french chefs. How can this series not talk about ONE!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful, emotional, insightful, and evocative, the second season, has really refined and expanded on this theme and the emotionalism of the first season. The locations and their unexpected beauty, provide a beautiful, palate cleansing counterpoint, to what, in the hands of a lesser producer and director, could descend into a foodie travelogue. Not here. History, culture, and family, are at the heart of this series and heart is the operative word here I highly recommend this to any and all who want another look at our De facto global language, food.Note: one critique I have here, is the stark and noticeable absence of African, African-American, and Middle Eastern chefs. This is something that the chefs interviews themselves reveal as a shortcoming, (in their own words), our commercialized (American and European) culinary biases, about what is delicious, or finely crafted. I find the said absence of African, African-American, and middle Eastern chefs, strange, since the entire internationalist narrative of this series, is so advanced and inclusive. Season three: I'm counting on you! Bring Africa, Black America, and the Middle east to the chef's table! I Implore you!Piero Amadeo Infante

My mom and I found this in one of those I-have-no-idea-what-I-want-to- watch-lets-wander-Netflix evenings. We were halfway through the first episode when my husband came in and he was so fascinated he asked if we could start over. The three of us binge watched all of the first season in a couple of days. I love how passionate and creative these chefs are. It makes you really think about your food. Where it comes from, how its grown and raised. It makes you want to cook something as beautiful as these chefs. It also made me go to the web to look up some of the restaurants and chefs to find out where they're located and how expensive it would be to dine in the 3rd best restaurant in the world. We cannot wait for another season!

Netflix continues it's quest to fill their service with quality content. And again, they succeed. This time not with a drama series or movie, but a documentary series. All based around the same main theme; the best restaurants in the world and the great minds that created them.The stories of the origins of these restaurants, and especially the chef's who created them, are moving and inspiring. The series successfully puts a human face on these places, which would otherwise be regarded as extravagant and out of reach by most. The passion and drive of the chef's, as well as the struggles they had to undergo to be where they are today, makes you feel glad for their success. Never before have I seen a documentary with such vivid cinematography. The kitchen time-lapses, the environmental shots and the close-ups of the dishes are all phenomenal. Combine this with an excellent classical score, which fits the images perfectly, and you are left with near perfection.This series is a must-see for cooking and food enthusiasts and I cannot recommend it more to anyone who is looking for an inspirational story or simply a quality documentary.
