I sometimes find myself watching the show. I am HOPING that the episode will be an interesting one. But every time it is the same thing. This stupefied overly dramatic setup. They get comments from the chefs who all have smart comments such as "I seriously thought they would FIGHT!", "it was SO sick!", "he was CRAZY!". Various soap drama. All with this high tense music that is supposed to make us all excited and anxious.
But actually, little real action happens. They have edited the show so heavily to make it appear that something exciting happens but it is just the same old petty jealous gossip and backstabbing. The producers thought that they take Gordon Ramsey, call the program Hell's Kitchen, and make something completely WILD. But it's the same setup as we have in Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmare. They edit in every time Gordon gets angry about something and throw in lots of comments from the chefs who often have below-average intelligence.
In any normal job, Gordon's behavior would have been deemed unacceptable and he'd get fired. But OK, it's a show. Will you learn anything from it? Yes I supposed you might get a glimpse of how it can be to work as a chef and of how many ways there are to fail. That's it.
The show would have been much better if they had let their fingers off the editing board a bit and just show what really goes on in the kitchen.
