An exceptionally well-written series. I don't think this can be compared to any other series. Like other reviews have said this requires the viewer to pay attention. I'm a fan of psychological drama and especially science fiction. Not that this compares to Battlestar Galactica (2004-2009) or Invasion (2005) series, but the writing is just as well done as those two shows. I'm hoping this gets picked up for a third season. There's very few shows these days that are well-written that get renewed for addition seasons. Invasion was one of those that was for only 1 season. What's interesting is this strange black rock is like the black goo that was in the X-Files. It's also in quite a few music videos from current popular female singers. Very enjoyable series!

The original Japanese production Iron Chef was much more enjoyable than this. I remember visiting Morimoto's restaurant in NYC way back in the day. The only time I tried real Wasabi.

Not a fan of blue hair and tattoos, it's distracting. Reminds me of bright colors in reptiles as a warning to stay away. 😆

This had way too much editing. Also the original Iron Chef Japanese didn't discuss how the chefs identified themselves as (who cares? It's about their abilities). Just like Iron Chef America this falls short of the original concept.

Also, Morimoto was very serious in the Japanese production and now he did a complete 180 in this show.
