Boiling Point

Very intense "seating on the edge of your seat" movie that feels super authentic as if it was a true story. You won't be able to look away. While it is in the length of an episode, it contains a whole world. The actors are fabulous, the dialogs are real, and the type-cast of the different characters makes you believe this is a real operating restaurant. While you only get a glimpse into each of the characters and short screen time, the movie takes you deep into at least one aspect of their soul and needs, making you as viewer feel like you know them. In general, great experience. I would recommend it.

I write a lot of reviews as I love TV, especially dramas and the BBC have done it again, made a brilliant one. I read all the reviews and wonder what some of the 'haters' have been watching.

It's a hard hitting series and I really liked all the characters as individuals. The directing is clever as filming includes the food and it's delivery, this makes the series a bit different than other kitchen drama shows - I quite liked that aspect.

Andy (Stephen Graham) is as always, an outstanding actor and I really think that Carly (Vinette Robinson) and Emily (Hannah Walters) are two of the very best actors in their roles and they really made series believable for me.

The series is fast paced and in some scenes quite upsetting so be prepared....it's a high pressure environment and it is the boiling point!

Well done.....great series and well worth watching.

Like, A LOT. Trust me when I say, this is the best thing on UK TV at the moment. It is stressful just watching it, but that's only because of how engaging it is. The pace and camera work make you feel like you are there in the kitchen, being pulled back and forth between tasks. It reminded me greatly of my own work experiences.

The cast are incredible and their characters interesting.

It is not important to watch the short or movie versions that predate this series, as it stands perfectly well on its own. However I would highly recommend doing so as they too are incredible, and would help you avoid writing reviews stating that this has copied a show the original concept predates by 3.5 years.

My only complaint, wanted more episodes!

Absolutely love that they brought a series after the film! Anyone who works in hospitality knows how accurate this series is. Just binged all 4 episodes.

I particularly liked how it dived into the individual characters showing a bit about their backgrounds.

It might not be for everyone and that's ok, everyone is entitled to their own opinion but for me personally I've always wanted to see a series about the hospitality trade and Boiling Point ticks all the boxes.

Very similar every day situations to what it's really like. It's not just about cooking, waiting on tables or pouring pints! Long may it continue. Great job!

This had me gripped from the very first scene. Fast moving, sometimes at a manic pace, this was partly shot on a hand held camera which gave a feel of the insane pace this drama moved along at.

There were some outstanding performances from a stellar cast, with the star of them all, Stephen Graham, making brief appearances as he is slowly introduced into the series after his dramatic exit in the prequel movie, which this series is based on.

I found no fault in this production. It is a masterpiece of film making and acting at its best. The good thing is there are more episodes to follow and I look forward to watching them all.
