Movie Review: Hell's Kitchen: Season 1
Summary: 5 Stars
I view this more as a documentary than a reality show. It seems to me that this program is a biography of the contestants as it allows viewers to know their backgrounds, motivations, seriousness, intent, how they handle criticism and pressure, peer pressure, developing friendships, team vs. individual effort, blaming others for their failures, not recognizing their own faults, and as fewer contestants are left introducing family and significant others.
As for Gordon pushing them too hard and/or his criticism of their performance, take note of what happens when pressure is exerted. They lose concentration and stop working as a team. What will happen if they own their restaurant and all the pressure lands on them and only they must be responsible for quick and accurate answers? As Chef Ramsey has said again and again it is his reputation on the line for everything that is on this show and eliminating all but the single-most best "cook" for head chef and a tremendous salary at his/her restaurant is a sobering obligation.
Perhaps, in my opinion, one of the highlights of this 3 disc DVD set is the bonus features. Whether or not you have seen Hell's Kitchen, watch the interviews of both Gordon Ramsey and Arthur Smith. These will give you the real behind-the-scenes look at a truly great show. You will truly learn much of what I have attempted to describe above.
Summary of Hell's Kitchen: Season 1

Featuring explosive confrontations and compelling intrigue as chefs stab each other in the back to get the ultimate prize. In the end it?s the chef?s skill and their cooking that makes the difference.Similar DVD Movies
