SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

rhknitter Great photo shots of food and scenery. Good acting. Good writing. Great break from predictable drama filled with action scenes stuck into simply dumb down.

Khun Kru Mark Well, it was cheesy, melodramatic, and insanely shallow. There were more twists and turns than a twisty turny thing. But after binge-watching all eight episodes, I did rather enjoy it!Despite the ludicrous soap-opera dramatics, the soft-focus direction, and the annoying narration from a dead bloke the characters were interesting to watch and fun to follow. The beautiful local scenery was unfortunately underplayed here and we only get to see occasional glimpses of the fairy-tale English countryside.It was as if a Jane Eyre book had been rewritten by school kids... who then took out the most realistic bits and added an annoying ghost!But despite all the silliness, I don't regret watching it. This is one of those programs that I would normally love to rain hate on - but in the end, it was a rather charming and fluffy tale of truth and lies... and how they break people apart. Dawn French is probably a bit past playing bedroom scenes by now, but here she is anyway, candles glowing and legs akimbo! If you set aside ANY expectation of realism and common sense, there's still enough left on the screen to make this pretty good fun.

pathe The starter was very disappointing. Potentially good ingredients failed to blend well, and it became a chore to chew my way through to the end of the first course. In fact, I ended up with indigestion. I'll forgo the mains, the dessert and the cheese courses, and go to another restaurant. Delicious? Not!

andylec With that cast and location should have been so much more. The acting I found mostly good and i'm interested in the food industry so another plus for me.Cornwall is beautiful and the filming is good if a little pedestrian, Lots of scope for dramatic framing and stylish camera-work.The story was good but I would have liked to see it developed more, especially Mimi and the son/daughter story and as was said above it was so so predictable. Reminds me of a daytime soap with very obvious plot lines delivered in a simple fashion. Great techniques for a younger audience, but given the content this was meant for a more mature audience.Overall we enjoyed watching it and would recommend it for easy viewing.
