Ramsay's Best Restaurant

Many others have written about this in reviews here. The audio mix is awful.

Many shows today STILL (I remember my Dad complaining about this 60 years ago!) have the MUSIC/SOUNDTRACK much too loud in relation to the verbiage.

They've never figured out that we don't want the soundtrack blowing us out of our chairs, while we have to raise the volume so high so that we can hear the speaking.

This show was the worst (for that) ever. The soundtrack is SO LOUD, CONSTANT and PERVASIVE that it not only drowned out a lot of the speaking, it's just plain irritating.

So after 60+ years, and all the tech we have - we've gotten absolutely no better at mixing this stuff.

Another issue is that around E8 Ramsay started calling restaurants and eliminating them over the phone, but there was no explanation as to why. Then I read that the original show was 12 episodes, but they aired only 9 episodes. So perhaps they skipped over the episodes where some of the semi-finalists eliminated. It detracts from the show when out of nowhere, suddenly there are eliminations without the benefit of seeing/hearing/knowing why.

The show itself was pretty good. Too bad they spoiled it with their sound issues and eliminating some episodes.

Good show, bit when music plays you can't hear anything they are saying. You either miss what's being said or have to constantly play with the volume. Totally took away from the show.

I really enjoyed watching this series, audio mix was awful though. Impossible to understand the speaker over the music in some parts, Watch with subtitles.

Seems good so far, but TERRIBLE audio mix. You can barely hear over the music they put over it.

The sound guy should have been sacked. The ruination of a good meal is a bad sauce. The bad sauce in this instance is the sound. I wish I could have made it to dessert! I'm glad there are other things on the menu to try!
