Flavorful Origins

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!

Great stories are being told one morsel at a time. Each episode is only 13 minutes and they are artistically very well done. I love the close up and slow motion shots of food. It's very interesting to see the layers of food we eat. How it looked close up. How it's being prepared. Usually, you just eat and takes it for granted. You don't really think or see how much craftsmanship is being put into a simple ingredient such as fish sauce. This show gives me a whole new perspective on the food I eat daily. It's a great show and I can't wait for more!

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.

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

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.
