Iron Chef: la sfida estrema

Great concept, annoying chairman big deal, I think it's kind of stupid but entertaining. Love the show currently hooked on it. My main issue is that these judges are awful at doing their job and the female co host seems very clueless at times constantly pestering chefs for information that she should know as a host on this very prestigious show. Other than that, I can't complain. I'm have been very enthralled and entertained so far.

When Iron Chef started in Japan, back in the 1990's, it was more of a "David and Goliath" type of show. But just as all long running shows need to evolve to be relevant, Iron Chef has evolved to more of an "Achilles vs. Hector" or "Batman vs. Superman!' Think of it this way, we don't want a Super Bowl of the worst in the NFL vs. The best in the NFL. All of the episodes were fun and exciting to watch. I think the Live Sturgeon episode was the best, it was very intense and a close score. And the Finale was also entertaining! Disclosure: I HATE to cook, but I do love good food. And every dish that I saw looked absolutely stunning. I would change one thing, never have a guest judge who is still learning how to make toast. Make the guest judge as least someone who knows how much work/experience/art goes into the dishes that were made. I hope Netflix makes a Season 2 of this new take on Iron Chef.

I don't like the addition of Kristen, should be Alton as the host. Mark Dascascos is more annoying if that's possible. Did anyone pick up on the new buzz word of Unctuous, totally used in the wrong context, means excessively or ingratiatingly flattering; oily. I've seen a few episodes, it's OK, not like ICA.

What is with so many American shows that they can't use a camera without purposefully bouncing it around to create tension?

All it does is give me a headache and make it impossible to watch.

Getting past that to actually enjoy the rest of the show was virtually impossible.

It's as if the producers never watched the original. The hook of the originals was that the challengers were portrayed as David vs Goliath. There's nothing Goliath or godlike about the iron chefs. It's a court with no kings or queens, and too many jesters.
