MasterChef: The Professionals (2008)
love this show
I have watched every episode of this intensely entertaining show and was so excited when they brought Marcus Wareing in, Both Marco and Gordon Ramsey have mentored this chef's career- and he inherited none of their silly nonsense and very few could follow in the footsteps of Michel Roux Jr., but Chef Marcus definitely can!
All of it is fun but the particular brilliance in this production has always been the music direction- it is quite shocking at times and brings drama to the cooking that only a considered score can do. It is worth it just for the music, but they offer so much more.

I enjoyed this series, it kept me caring what happened next even though the plot is contrived and the depth of the social issues being raised were without resolution, they were the cultural artifact to write the dialogue around. Consequences of every action are implied and yet karma is random.
The theme is that families and parenthood and existence are messy enterprises and the lines of character are disconnected. It also highlights that America is way too self absorbed. Our emotions are structured around the past; the dictates of peers and the media, while being dogmatically controlled by defense mechanisms which defy change and growth.
