If I didn't despise streaming, I'd watch this.

A tidal wave took out the rest of the cast and smarmy host.

Damn. I've still got the whole season sitting here unwatched. I finally
cleared off Doctor Odessey after watching two episodes too many.

This is so sad. This was the one remaining cooking show in which they
taught the viewer technique but like everything else, it's turned to
crap. Back to reruns of The French Chef.

Oh for fuck's sake, just bring back Brimstone.

Ian, tell me I'm a sap for watching this, knowing that none of the
ongoing plot threads will be resolved, plus it will end on a cliffhanger
setting up the next season that will never be ordered.
