Never thought I'd start hating a dish because of a Netflix documentary, but here I am. This is basically one gigantic ad for one guy's pizza place... And I made the mistake of watching this.
The show starts off by proclaiming that "the best pizza IN THE WORLD is made in Phoenix, Arizona".
HAHAHHAHA.
Now, if you live anywhere outside the US, you're probably getting how dumb this is gonna get. Hysterical laughter from me at this point, because I'm not American and I don't feel the need to proclaim everything my country produces as "THE BEST IN THE WORLD".
So Chris went to Italy once and learned how to make pizza. He was surrounded by women you know, and they taught him the Mystical Art of Cooking, which for most people is a basic life skill. Chris is very proud because even though he is a man, he can also cook, which apparently makes him magic!
Also, he had the following revelations: food can be made from fresh ingredients, meals are generally better if you don't use canned products, not everything has to be based on corn, and fruit makes for perfectly good desert.
Chris, I saw your pizza and it's okay. It doesn't look terrible, but THE BEST PIZZA IN THE WORLD is definitely not burnt.
*I'm not Italian. Like that would matter, but I feel like Americans need this kind of information to be less confused.

This show is a guy telling you about stuff. Raise you hand if you've ever met a guy who felt like his mediocre life and opinions deserve everyone's attention. Yup, it's THAT uncle at a wedding.
This show is not unfunny. Neal or Brian or Tom or whatever starts off pretty well, but dives into just drab mediocrity pretty fast. He does have some interesting insights that bring you out of your comfort zone, but ultimately, his whole shtick is Guy Saying Things.
A lot of it is mildly funny, but my ultimate issue with him is that he doesn't seem to even remotely care about any of that stuff that he so desperately wants you to care about, so why should the audience care?

Much like most of Ryan Murphy's productions, this show starts off with colorful characters and an intriguing plot line... only to completely disappoint by the second episode.
By the third one, "The Watchers" is kinda... brain dead. It's not interesting, it's not scary, the characters have basically turned into two-dimensional caricatures of themselves. It's like someone told a bunch of preschoolers to write a scary story about a family in a big house and the kids ran out of ideas after 10 minutes.
Murphy's shows all have one thing in common: they SEEM interesting, they FEEL interesting, but in the end, they're all just incredibly boring fluff pieces aspiring to be something way, way smarter than they are (2019's "The Politician" was a notable exception to that).
Such a disappointment, but not really, given Netflix's recent run of, ekhm, sub-par productions.
I wish someone had told me to skip it.
