School of Chocolate

Just to point out... the clay scene is from the movie 'Ghost' not 'Dirty Dancing', yet Patrick Swayze featured in both films. Good show overall. Watched it in one day!

I love that it's not an elimination show. It's actually a school and they are there to learn, not compete. The teacher is so genuine and inspiring and professional. He's a breathe of fresh air. We've had enough of screaming and insulting Chefs so it's great to see someone doing it right. Fun and pleasant show to watch.

During the first episode I waited to hear Chef Amaury yell, swear or get angry. Color me surprised when he interacted with his students instead with helpfulness and a willingness to educate instead of tear down and intimidate. The vibe was so fun and mellow. I wasn't expecting that. I really enjoyed this series and hope for a second season to hit Netflix sooner rather than later.

I wasn't expecting to be this good. First the host is amazing. He's not only great at what he does he actually cares about the students. He teaches and guides them. I thought maybe somebody would lose and go home each episode, like every other cooking competition show... But No.. Everyone stays and learns how to better their craft. There's still a Lil drama between the students and obviously their competition go against each other to win.. but there's an element calm that I admire. I really enjoyed this show!!

It's a different kind of competition show. It allowed the contestant to learn from their mistakes instead of getting kicked out. The drama, though.... I wouldn't wish a Mellisa on my worst enemy. (You have to watch to understand how awful she is. If you read this, girl, you brought it upon yourself). I could really do without the drama. Unfortunately, having worked in a kitchen before I'm familiar that this dynamic does exists. I'd get rid of the backstabbing, otherwise the show is good.
