    Interesting and informative

    I just hope that Netflix creates another season in another region.

    Love this show

    This show is not only visually stunning, but the depth of understanding you will gain is up there with a culinary education course. I cook with a lot of these ingredients, and it was really interesting to learn about them in a more in-depth format. I love watching this before bed, since it's actually pretty soothing and relaxing to watch.

    The only improvements would be the voice over, and making the episodes longer.

    MASTERPIECE

    This series is a visual feast. Episodes are only 10 minutes long, but I keep going back to rewatch almost every scene. Can´t recommend this enough. Love it.

    Excellent docuseries about the foods in Chaoshan region.

    The visuals are beautiful. The English voiceover is probably what people are annoyed by---it really isn't good, but really, when are these voiceovers ever good? Watch it in the original Chinese and it is great. The subtitles are accurate! I'm learning so much in this docuseries!

    Slow it down!

    Beautiful cinametogrphy and great content. I wish each episode was longer so they can take their time with showing the people and food in the areas. Each scene feels rushed. Great concept for good show by Netflix.
