Having already destroyed and conquered restaurants across the UK and the USA with the ever-so-popular Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares,
the chef with the face that looks like it's been hit with a frying pan
is back with yet another series of simple foods... and hanging shit on
people who can't defend themselves.
The F Word
is a big, bold
and fast-paced show fuelled by the irrepressible energy and passion of
Ramsay. Each episode includes three Ramsay recipes (every dish
something viewers can cook at home... but we all know never will),
while Gordon sets himself the challenge
of getting the nation to cook Sunday lunch. There is also the
occasional visit to Gordon's back
garden to meet the pigs he is rearing with his kids (they all look the
same, one giant, rich, pig faced family), plus there are a bunch of
consumer stories
that tell us what we need to know about the food we buy.
The
Second Series ups the anti slightly when Ramsay is joined each week in
the kitchen by his group of regular seasoned cooks plus a member of the
public.
As alsways, if anyone doesn't quite cut the
mustard it's "Ramsay's reputation on the line", so there are facial
anger blasts a plenty.
More often than not it's like watching a
car crash (or a weird way of watching someone else's domestic disputes)
and it's such a guilty pleasure. You find yourself wanting, nay
praying, for blood to be shed. For someone to bark back at Gordon - or
fly at him with a spatula and gouge out his eyes. But, sadly, that
doesn't happen this series (we might have to wait for Gordon Ramsay's Decapi-f**ing-tation Show).
Great viewing, and as opposed to Kitchen Nightmares,
a better buy on DVD due to the various recipe segments that are helpful
when trying to whip up something impressive at your next dinner party. DVD EXTRAS
Not to much by way of extras, but there is a cool inclusions of
several recipe cards that come with each DVD. Personally, I've never
been able to follow cook book instructions without totally making a
mess of the whole "dish" - but for those who can... well... cook, it's
the perfect extra.
Conclusion:
Movie 70% Extras: 85%
