Spie al ristorante

Only 1 star as there is no zero. Why oh why is this even on a food channel, nothing to do with food, completely fake, terrible acting, set up situations, a million camera angles from a few supposedly secret cameras!!! Even a quick google will tell you how fake it is, and as unbelievable as it is so far 4 of the 19 reviews have been positive...so I guess that explains why they get away with such a blatantly bad show. This show and its brethren Restaurant Stakeout have no place on a channel that is supposed to be about food. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that a food channel is going to be watched by serious foodies who like to see different recipes and cuisines being prepared and tasted, not this pap!!!

I've been watching this show for a while. I've always been skeptical of the show being real, but I simply contributed that to it being a reenactment of the events.

Last night I watched an episode that confirmed it was fake. This episode one of their new tools called a "Stingray". This device is real, but it is available to law enforcement only and only under strict non-disclosure from the FBI. In addition, it is likely illegal to intercept the communications without permission from one of the two parties. I also suspect it would be illegal to transmit on the frequencies used for cell phones without an FCC license.

This is the worst show on television. It is so insanely obvious that the show is faked, that it is insulting to the viewers intelligence that the producers even try to pass it off as real. The people are horrible actors and any person who takes the time to audition for this show has placed a black mark on their resumes for even showing up. I want to watch shows about cooking! Not terrible actors pretend to be terrible employees. Please no more!!!

FOOD NETWORK when you good this show the first thing that shows up is the shows website, only quickly followed by a web page entirely dedicated to people's frustration about this show being fake. Even simply typing the words 'mystery d' prompts Google to auto-fill the words 'mystery diners fake'.

Want garbage, then watch this. Want entertainment, then check out Ralphthemoviemakers video on this. RELEASE THE DRONE.

Quit scamming people Hollywood. It's why I no longer pay to see your SHI*T!!!

What legal implications are involved with producers who offer no disclaimer and charade their programs as pretending to be real. It is ridiculous they are not held accountable.

I don't understand why the producer can't be sued considering he does not offer a disclaimer that the program has faked scenarios.

Just know something people ---You can't make a "reality" show without making it fake. It's impossible, because what you see takes careful planning and organization. Scenes have to be edited, actors have to know what to say (scripts), scenes have to be re-shot, they use make-up artists, caterers and times of events have to be arranged and scheduled FOR EVERY PRODUCTION, whether it charades as a "reality" TV show or it's a feature film
