Pressure Cooker

This show is somewhere between a drama and a cooking show. The lack of of a show host and external judges felt more like cost cutting than creative plot writing. The production quality is high, but the sets and locations could have been more imaginative. This new take on a culinary competition was somewhat refreshing from an entertainment perspective and I enjoyed watching them cook delicious food.. But I felt the whole premise of the competition left too much room for foul play which led to talented chefs leaving early in the competition. This show seems more focused on backstabbing and personal alliances than determining the best chef but in the end it turned out to be pretty enjoyable. I think if they get a bigger budget in future seasons improve on a few things it could be a great show.

What a sham. The producers decided who should win and how and it was a shame. The whole show I told my wife how cool it was to see a show without a third party to influence voting. Then, the last episode betrayed me when the ticket read - this has always been about more than cooking... Really, then why the hell did I watch it? If it's really not about cooking then just produce Big Brother and move on. I don't really like chef Ramsey. He is abrasive, rude and mean but boy is he one bad cook! I have rarely if ever known my chef or been introduced to him. I actually don't care if the chef is a nice guy. Give me good food that I can rave about and I will pay my bill, tell my friends and plan to come back. Yes, it really should be all about the cooking. I will never waste my time on another BS show like Pressure Cooker.

Jeana showed herself as a lying snake, not a sportsman. Apparently she wasn't confident in her cooking ability so she showed her true colors in using what she considers "strategy" to knock off as many of the other cooks as she could..... out and out lying at one point. There were a couple others who were right behind her in churlishness but who cares at this point. I've watched many cooking/baking shows and they were fun and collegial to each other. This was an out and out train wreck on so many levels and i won't watch a second season. I prefer well made shows that celebrate, rather than denigrate.

I honestly loved the cooking and it gave me several dishes I want to try out myself.

The rest was utter trash. Jeana is quite possibly the worst human on the planet, She introduces her self like she's super friendly, team player, and that whole intro was completely fake.

She lies, pits other cooks against each other, and is an all around #itch.

The finale as terrible. The winner, was definitely not the "winner", it was entirely based on who was friends with who.

Trash TV at its finest. FU Netflix, you suck again. More and more of your shows are like this senseless garbage. If there is a season 2, fire the writers and start from scratch.

The only kind of reality TV I tend to watch are the creative ones - I'm very partial to cooking shows, so when a new one is released, I have to watch it.

The premise of this appealed to me - eleven chefs in one house, and having to judge themselves, rather than having any kind of guest judge.

The reality, however, wasn't so appealing. This is just like Big Brother but with cooking instead of canoodling. But apparently the food is 'sexy', food should not be 'sexy'. It should be enticing, appealing, delicious, etc.

If you want to watch a group of talented chefs being judged fairly on their food, this is not for you. If you want to watch a group of talented chefs being judged on their friendships, rather than talent, then this is for you.
