Omnivore

1. This is boring, for each topic they explain five minutes and then they show like 20 minutes of repetitive shots 2. History is plain and reductionist It was expected we would know the history of each food, but this just show a commercial look of the item Imagine that for chili they talked about paprika and Tabasco, there is a lot more.

Mexico was not mentioned, even this is the country which consume more chilly and the crazy relationship of Aztecs with it. Not to mention the great variety of chilies they have.

3. Beautiful shots I can say that photograph was so nice, but it is useless without a genuine story to tell.

I found this series to be educational, with stunning imagery and told by someone with a true love of food, its roots, and respecting quality over quantity. These naysayers can get lost. It's interesting, and makes me fall in love with food again and the love of how its binds us by brining us together all over again. I highly suggest watching this series if only to learn that we need to respect where our food comes from, who is involved with getting it to us, and how important is is to connect with its producers in some way.

Every episode was educational and relatable. Every subject important to myself as they're all things I consume, most of them daily.

Rene Redzepi, the acclaimed chef of Noma, is undoubtedly a culinary genius. His innovative approach to cooking has revolutionized the food world, making him an influential figure in contemporary gastronomy. However, the decision to cast him as the narrator of "Omnivore" seems to have been a misstep. Redzepi's narration lacks the engaging dynamism needed to capture and retain the audience's attention. His delivery, while knowledgeable, feels monotonous and fails to evoke the excitement and curiosity that the subject matter warrants.

The first episode of "Omnivore" sets the tone for the series, but unfortunately, it falls short of expectations. The pacing is slow, and the content, though rich in potential, is presented in a way that feels uninspired. Viewers may find their minds wandering, unable to connect deeply with the material. The episode's structure and presentation do not do justice to the vibrant and diverse world of food it aims to explore.

The name and introduction before watching this TV series,i thought the content was going to be very interesting and meaningful. I thought each episode is to introduce the growth process of the most commonly eaten food in different parts of the world, its nutrition, different tastes and human effects brought by different people and different cooking methods in different regions. The documentary introduction also said"We are what we eat" which is compeletely my opinion. But in this series,we don't see much of these. And we don't see periods of professional cooking process and food raw materials are different all over the world, we just see very very slow picture, people walk around, say some nonsense,like in the chili episode,A family in Serbia,They just roast peppers in the yard and make sauce. Like every other family in this world can do,imean,this is good,but not making a big meaning in a se Ries introducing human's food. And there went some nonsense words again,more and more young people do N't want to do this. I tell you why.tradition is tradition,but it gotta to be a meaning of being kept .Only good meaningful tradition will be left behind. The production process of this simple made chili sauce is less than a few tenths of the taste of the machine, and it is not as delicious as the pepper factory, and it can't make money that's definitel Y going to be eliminated,And introduced some chilis in Thailand.not introducing the growing process,not filmi Ng how they cook the fried frogs with this local chili,just filming some nonsense about they eati Ng and saying their love story,not even some shots of the dishes. Just as a word what i saw in another Review:commercial.i can understand the commercials in tv series,but your resturant is that type tha T serving a little serving in each dishes,and selling high price. Only introducing 4 chilis in whole episod E and you saying that chili planted in your resturant is the hottest in the world,not at all.and eve Ry costmer and cook takes a bite. That's not some interesting plot.just like i saw the series:the bear, Very high scores and dozens awards. But I can't watch it after watching it for more than ten minutes. Extremely slow and meaningless shots, dim light and sad music, you call it art, truth is that's just nonsense. Just like the fifth episode of Iberian black pigs, they proudly introduce that they only need to eat, sleep and play a day without thinking about other things. It seems that this is an advantage, but which pig in the world does not only need to eat, drink and sleep. Those pigs do have a lot of space to move but not worth That highest price in the world which is totally IQ tax. Complicate simple things, that's what they're doing.

This is not the kind of show you can turn on and listen to - you must pay attention and read the subtitles because there are stories from various cultures and countries - none speaks the same language.

However, that aside, it's very interesting content, beautiful imagery, excellent music, and the personal stories are touching, relatable.

Each episode centers on the culinary anthology of a specific ingredient or food source, that is universally meaningful. And each character we are introduced to is passionate about their contribution to the food we eat, how to preserve its heritage, how to expand our thinking about simple ingredients we use often.
